📋 Step-by-Step Build Guide

STEP 1

Read log files from /var/log/ and application log directories

Read log files from /var/log/ and application log directories

Steps:
1. Validate all required inputs are available
2. Execute the operation described above
3. Verify the result meets expected output format
4. Handle errors gracefully — retry transient failures, log and alert on persistent ones
5. Return structured output with status and any relevant data

If any required data is missing, request it from the user before proceeding.
STEP 2

Create daily incident summary with error counts and trends

Create daily incident summary with error counts and trends

Compile the gathered data into a structured report.

Format as clean Markdown with:
- Title/date header
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
- Key metrics section with actual numbers
- Detailed sections with bullet points
- Action items or recommendations at the end

Keep it scannable — busy people read reports in 30 seconds.
Use emoji sparingly for visual anchors (📊 metrics, ✅ wins, ⚠️ concerns, 📋 action items).
Include data comparisons: "X this period vs Y last period (↑Z%)"

If any data source was unavailable, note it clearly: "⚠️ [Source] data unavailable — excluded from this report."
STEP 6

Post summary and alert on new/escalating error patterns
