Turn a Week of Pager Activity Into an On-Call Handoff Note the Next Person Can Act On
I'm handing off on-call. Below are alert history, incident channel excerpts, and my rough notes from the past week. Write a handoff note for the incoming engineer, under 400 words, with these sections: - **Active issues**: anything still open, with current status, what I tried, and the next step I'd take. - **Known noisy alerts**: alerts that fired without needing action, with why, and whether a ticket exists. - **Recent changes to watch**: deploys, config, or flag changes from the week that could cause problems, and what a symptom would look like. - **Decisions pending**: things waiting on someone else, with that person's name and what is needed. - **Where to look**: dashboards, runbooks, and channels, only those mentioned in the input. Rules: separate facts from guesses and label guesses. If the input doesn't contain an item for a section, write "none provided" rather than inventing one. Don't include blame. Input: [ALERT HISTORY, CHANNEL EXCERPTS, NOTES]
