What it does

Every quarter, incident postmortems generate a pile of remediation action items — and most teams never confirm they were actually completed. This agent pulls last quarter's incident action items from Linear, cross-checks each against shipped evidence (closed PRs, deploy tags, merged config changes via GitHub), and re-opens any item marked done that has no shipping evidence. It posts a digest of the laggards to Slack so owners can't pretend the work landed.

When to use it

Run it at the start of each quarter, or before an incident review meeting, when you need ground truth on whether your reliability backlog is real progress or theater.

How it works

The scheduled trigger fires at quarter start. The agent queries Linear for action items labeled `incident` created in the prior quarter. For each one marked Done, it searches GitHub for a linked PR or deploy referencing the item. A logic step splits items into shipped vs. unverified. Unverified items are re-opened in Linear with a comment citing the missing evidence, and a summary of every re-opened laggard is delivered to the incidents Slack channel.
