I follow a similar pattern for post mortems / retros, but this felt like a new idea to use it while I’m investigating and after.
One trick I’ve been using recently is if I need quick updates to the team while investigating - say during an incident, I’ll take notes with links to datadog / sumo in slack, and then afterwards I’ll ask Claude to create a summary for me to share with others.
I can see giving Claude this template to follow for the summary!
Thanks for this comment Caleb and for the love on the article.
I agree for sure you can use the investigation doc template as context to say Claude Sonnet 3.7 to help you fill in the details and you don't have to limit the usage to just retros/post mortems. It could be for that time you find yourself banging your head against the wall and need to structure your thought process
Loved this write up on investigation docs.
