runbook-generator

runbook-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit. It costs 59 tokens per session (465 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that creates customizable operational runbooks, which are step-by-step documents for deploying, maintaining, troubleshooting, and rolling back a service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create runbook drafts for new services, standardize on-call documentation, and support deployment, incident response, maintenance, and rollback work.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent starting structure when procedures are missing or vary between services. The generated document still needs service-specific commands, links, checks, and rollback conditions.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/runbook_generator.py payments-api.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

runbook-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Runbook Generator

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: DevOps / Site Reliability Engineering


Overview

Generate operational runbooks quickly from a service name, then customize for deployment, incident response, maintenance, and rollback workflows.

Core Capabilities

  • Runbook skeleton generation from a CLI
  • Standard sections for start/stop/health/rollback
  • Structured escalation and incident handling placeholders
  • Reference templates for deployment and incident playbooks

When to Use

  • A service has no runbook and needs a baseline immediately
  • Existing runbooks are inconsistent across teams
  • On-call onboarding requires standardized operations docs
  • You need repeatable runbook scaffolding for new services

Quick Start

# Print runbook to stdout
python3 scripts/runbook_generator.py payments-api

# Write runbook file
python3 scripts/runbook_generator.py payments-api --owner platform --output docs/runbooks/payments-api.md

  1. Generate the initial skeleton with scripts/runbook_generator.py.
  2. Fill in service-specific commands and URLs.
  3. Add verification checks and rollback triggers.
  4. Dry-run in staging.
  5. Store runbook in version control near service code.

Reference Docs

  • references/runbook-templates.md

Common Pitfalls

  • Missing rollback triggers or rollback commands
  • Steps without expected output checks
  • Stale ownership/escalation contacts
  • Runbooks never tested outside of incidents

Best Practices

  1. Keep every command copy-pasteable.
  2. Include health checks after every critical step.
  3. Validate runbooks on a fixed review cadence.
  4. Update runbook content after incidents and postmortems.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
