What they did
A developer's team set up scheduled Claude routines to watch for incident alerts. When one fires, the agent hunts for the root cause. It explains the cause in Slack and opens a proposed code fix for review.
How it went
The author says their first top-priority incident went from alert to merged fix in 13 minutes.
Worth knowing
The author's point is that finding the cause, not writing the fix, is now the slow part of bug fixing.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
When an alert arrives from [alerting tool] for [repo URL], investigate it. Read recent logs, errors and code changes to find the most likely root cause. Post a plain-language summary in [Slack channel]: what broke, why, and how confident you are. Then prepare a fix on a new branch and open it as a draft for review. Do not merge or deploy anything; wait for a person to approve.
Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
