What it does
On-call handoffs are usually a Slack thread written at 11pm on Sunday. This recipe runs at the rotation boundary — pulls every page from the past week, reads the eng-watch threads, and writes a clean handoff brief with open incidents, hot deps, and a next-week watchlist. The incoming on-call gets DM’d the link.
How it works
- Pull pages. Every page from the rotation is pulled with severity, service, and on-call response. Open incidents are listed.
- Read watchlist. The #eng-watch channel is scanned for active dep migrations, ongoing investigations, and unresolved threads.
- Compose brief. A 9-page timeline, open-incident cards, watchlist items, and next-week predictions are composed. Brief saves to Notion; incoming on-call gets DM’d.
Setup
- Connect an on-call tool (PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or incident.io).
- Connect a messaging channel (Slack or Teams).
- Connect a docs destination (Notion, Google Docs, or Confluence).
Variations
- Run a Friday-end version for weekend handoff with abbreviated brief.
- Add a per-service paging volume trend.
- Generate a postmortem draft if the week had any SEV-1.
