What it does

Gives on-call responders the architectural context behind a failing service the moment an incident opens. It maps the alerting service to its governing Architecture Decision Records, pulls the accepted constraints (failover strategy, data-residency rules, retry policy) and explicitly flags any superseded decision so nobody reverts to an old pattern under pressure — all cited by ADR number.

When to use it

During incidents where responders don't know the deliberate design choices behind a service and risk "fixing" something that was decided on purpose. Best for on-call teams who want decision context delivered automatically, not dug out at 3am.

How it works

  1. 1A PagerDuty incident triggers and names the affected service.
  2. 2ADRs scoped to that service are retrieved from Confluence.
  3. 3A logic step separates currently-binding constraints from superseded decisions to avoid.
  4. 4OpenAI writes a concise context note: the live constraints, the traps, and citations.
  5. 5The note is posted to the incident's Slack channel for responders.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  2. 2
    Connect ConfluenceSpaces, pages, blueprints.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
