What This Skill Does
A command-line ops journal that logs deployments, incidents, configuration changes, and decisions to a local SQLite database. Supports incident lifecycle management with open/resolve tracking, timeline reconstruction, and exportable postmortem reports.
Keeps a structured, searchable record of operational events in a single local database rather than scattered across chat logs, tickets, or memory.
When to use it
- Tracking what changed before an outage
- Reconstructing a timeline for a postmortem
- Searching past deployments by category or date
- Generating a weekly ops digest for a team
- Exporting incident history to a spreadsheet
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: What happened during the API latency incident last week?
- 1Run `python3 scripts/journal.py incident list --status resolved` to find the incident ID
- 2Run `python3 scripts/journal.py timeline INC-001` to reconstruct the event sequence
- 3Run `python3 scripts/journal.py search --category incident --since 7d` to surface related entries
- 4Export the timeline with `python3 scripts/journal.py timeline INC-001 --format markdown`
