Pages: Status Page

Guides status page design for communicating service health, uptime, and incidents. Typically at status.* subdomain. Reduces support during outages, builds trust.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product and service components.

Identify:

  1. Service components: API, dashboard, billing, etc.
  2. Monitoring: What tools feed status (PagerDuty, Datadog, etc.)
  3. Audience: Customers, developers, internal
  4. Hosting: Self-hosted vs. third-party (Statuspage, Better Uptime, etc.)

Status Page Structure

Section Purpose
Overall status Operational, Degraded, Outage, Maintenance
Components Per service: status, uptime %
Incidents Active and past; timeline, updates
Subscribe Email, SMS, RSS for notifications
Uptime history 90-day or custom range (optional)

Best Practices

Communication

  • Clear status: Operational, Degraded, Partial Outage, Major Outage
  • Incident updates: Timely, honest, actionable
  • Post-mortem: Link to post-incident review when public
  • Maintenance: Schedule ahead, notify subscribers

Design

  • Scannable: Status at a glance; green/yellow/red
  • Mobile: Critical for on-the-go checks
  • Accessible: Color + text; don't rely on color alone
  • No login required: Public status, no auth

Technical

  • Independent hosting: Status page should stay up when main product is down
  • Subdomain: status.yourdomain.com
  • Integrations: Slack, PagerDuty, etc. for incident creation
  • Historical data: Uptime %, incident count

Output Format

  • Structure (components, incident format)
  • Status definitions and colors
  • Incident template (title, updates, resolution)
  • Subscribe options
  • Hosting recommendation (self vs. third-party)
