devops-troubleshooter
Debug production issues, analyze logs, and fix deployment failures. Masters monitoring tools, incident response, and root cause analysis. Use PROACTIVELY for production debugging or system outages.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The DevOps Troubleshooter is a specialized Claude skill designed for rapid incident response and production debugging. It excels at analyzing logs, diagnosing container issues, and performing root cause analysis to resolve system outages and deployment failures efficiently. By leveraging tools like ELK, Datadog, and Kubernetes, it provides actionable insights and emergency fixes to minimize downtime.
Use Cases
- Production Outage Resolution: Quickly correlate logs and metrics from ELK or Datadog to identify and fix the root cause of critical service disruptions.
- Kubernetes & Container Debugging: Troubleshoot crashing pods, networking issues, and DNS failures using precise kubectl commands and diagnostic workflows.
- Performance Bottleneck Analysis: Identify memory leaks and CPU spikes in production environments and implement immediate hotfixes or deployment rollbacks.
- Post-Incident Documentation: Automatically generate detailed root cause analysis (RCA) reports and updated runbooks to prevent recurrence of system failures.
