   • Network connectivity status
   
   Decision Point: If >50% agents unresponsive → Escalate to critical

Step 2: 📢 Team Notification (1-2 minutes)
   Command: hv-broadcast "[incident description]" incident critical
   Purpose: Alert all agents and activate incident response team
   Success Criteria: ✓ All available agents notified, ✓ Response team activated
   
   Message Template:
   "System incident detected: [brief description] - investigating"
   
   Parameters:
   • Use 'critical' severity for customer-impacting issues
   • Use 'warning' severity for internal/performance issues
   • Include affected systems and initial impact assessment

Step 3: 🎯 Task Delegation (3-5 minutes)
   Command: hv-delegate "[specific investigation task]" [specialist_type]
   Purpose: Assign specific investigation and remediation tasks
   Success Criteria: ✓ Tasks assigned to appropriate specialists, ✓ Investigation begun
   
   Common Delegations:
   • "Investigate database connection issues" → database_ops
   • "Check load balancer health and routing" → infrastructure_management
   • "Analyze application error logs" → development
   • "Monitor network connectivity" → monitoring
   
   Parallel Execution: Delegate multiple tasks simultaneously for faster resolution

Step 4: 🔍 Knowledge Search (2-4 minutes)
   Command: hv-query "[incident keywords] similar issues resolution"
   Purpose: Find similar past incidents and proven solutions
   Success Criteria: ✓ Relevant past incidents found, ✓ Solution patterns identified
   
   Search Strategies:
   • Include error messages or symptoms
   • Search for component names (database, load balancer, etc.)
   • Look for time-based patterns (morning issues, deployment-related)
   • Review recent changes that might be related

Step 5: 🔧 Solution Implementation (5-15 minutes)
   Commands: Varies based on investigation findings
   Purpose: Execute remediation based on investigation results
   Success Criteria: ✓ Root cause identified, ✓ Solution implemented, ✓ Service restored
   
   Common Solutions:
   • Service restarts: hv-delegate "Restart [service]" infrastructure_management
   • Configuration rollbacks: hv-delegate "Rollback [config]" deployment
