War Room Protocol

1. Situation Assessment (2 min)

SITUATION: [what's happening]
IMPACT: [who/what is affected]
SEVERITY: [critical/high/medium]
TIMELINE: [when did it start, when must it be fixed]

2. Team Assembly

Investigator: Gathers logs, data, reproduction steps

Analyst: Forms hypotheses, identifies root cause

Fixer: Implements solution once root cause confirmed

Reviewer: Validates fix, checks for regressions

3. Communication Cadence

Status update every 15 minutes during active crisis

Each update: what we know, what we're trying, ETA

Single source of truth: shared state file

4. Resolution

Fix implemented and verified

Root cause documented

Post-mortem scheduled (within 48 hours)

Prevention measures identified

Rules

Speed > perfection during active crisis

One person/agent owns coordination (war room lead)

All changes logged — no cowboy fixes

Revert first, investigate second (if revert is safe)

Post-mortem is mandatory, blame is not
