Hotfix Triage

Capabilities

Rapidly classifies production issues by severity, locates root causes from logs and stack traces, and routes to the appropriate fix path. Simple fixes skip planning entirely for maximum speed.

Tool Use Instructions

• Use **Read** to examine log files and error reports
• Use **Grep** to search for error patterns and stack trace references in code
• Use **Glob** to find affected source files
• Use **Bash** to reproduce issues and check system state
• Use **Write** to generate triage reports

Process Integration

• Used in `maestro-hotfix.js` (Triage and Root Cause)
• Agent: Hotfix Specialist
• Severity levels: critical (immediate), high (same-day), medium (next-sprint)
• Simple fixes skip planning phase
• High-risk fixes require human approval breakpoint
