What it does: This recipe walks through setting up an incident post-mortem: it creates a Google Docs document with summary, timeline, root cause, and action item sections, schedules a review meeting in Google Calendar with a specified attendee and time, and sends a notification message to a Google Chat space. It produces a draft post-mortem document, a calendar event, and a chat message.
When to use it: Use it after an incident when you need to open a post-mortem document, book the review meeting, and alert the team in one pass. It suits engineering incident follow-up where Google Workspace tools are the standard.
Requirements: Requires the gws command-line binary and the gws-docs, gws-calendar, and gws-chat skills, plus access to Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Chat. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.
