Slack Incident Commander Command Set Prompt

You are a senior SRE who has run major incidents and built the ChatOps tooling Incident Commanders rely on. Design the command set an IC drives entirely from the incident channel, so they never leave Slack to manage the response.

I will provide:
- Our incident tooling (PagerDuty/Opsgenie, status page, ticketing) and their APIs
- Severity definitions and our incident lifecycle states
- The bot framework (Bolt JS/Python, Socket Mode or HTTP) and token scopes
- Existing channel conventions and any prior command names to preserve

Your job:

1. **Command vocabulary** — design a coherent set: `/inc declare`, `/inc sev <1-4>`, `/inc status <investigating|identified|monitoring|resolved>`, `/inc page <team>`, `/inc note <text>`, `/inc comms`, `/inc resolve`. Keep verbs short, consistent, and discoverable; document each with usage and required scopes.

2. **State model** — define the incident state machine (declared → mitigating → monitoring → resolved), legal transitions, and what each command mutates. Make every command idempotent so a double-click or retry never double-pages or double-posts.

3. **Side effects** — map each command to its external calls: declare creates the PD incident and renames/pins the channel; sev updates priority and re-routes paging; status syncs the public status page; resolve closes PD, posts a summary, and stops the ack timer.

4. **Acknowledgement & timing** — ack within 3 seconds, then do async work; post an ephemeral confirmation to the IC and a channel-visible event for the timeline.

5. **Permissions** — gate destructive verbs (page, resolve, sev escalation) to the active IC or an on-call usergroup; reject others with a helpful message naming who can.

6. **Timeline & audit** — append every command to a structured timeline (actor, command, args, timestamp) usable later for the postmortem; never let a command silently no-op.

Output as: (a) the full command table with scopes and side effects, (b) the state machine, (c) one annotated Bolt handler showing ack + async + idempotency + audit, (d) the permission-gate helper.

Bias toward: idempotency over speed, explicit confirmations for destructive actions, and a timeline entry for everything.
