runbook-generator

runbook-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OneWave-AI/claude-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (545 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for documenting how to operate and recover a software system. An operational runbook is a practical reference for engineers handling deployments, incidents, routine tasks, and disaster recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Documenting deployments, incident response, health checks, migrations, rollbacks, scaling, backups, security settings, and alerts.
Why use it?
It turns code, infrastructure settings, and deployment scripts into instructions an on-call engineer can follow during an urgent problem.

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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 29 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runbook Generator

Generate a comprehensive operational runbook.md from a system's codebase, infrastructure config, and deployment scripts -- written for on-call engineers working incidents, deployments, and routine operations at 3am.

Contents

  • references/discovery-patterns.md -- Glob/Grep patterns and config files to inspect during discovery.
  • references/output-template.md -- The full 9-section runbook.md structure to populate.
  • references/writing-style.md -- Clarity, urgency, completeness, formatting, and accuracy rules plus output requirements.

Workflow

  1. Discover the system. Run the Glob patterns in references/discovery-patterns.md (Step 1) to identify the stack and infrastructure.
  2. Read key configuration. Open and analyze the config files listed in references/discovery-patterns.md (Step 2): IaC, containers, CI/CD, app config, deploy scripts, monitoring, migrations, load balancers, docs.
  3. Identify operational behavior. Run the Grep patterns in references/discovery-patterns.md (Step 3) to surface health checks, metrics, caching, jobs, migrations, rollback, scaling, backups, TLS, secrets, alerting, and more.
  4. Generate the runbook. Produce runbook.md following the structure in references/output-template.md. Cover all 9 sections; adapt content to what discovery found; never include purely speculative sections.
  5. Apply writing standards. Follow every rule in references/writing-style.md -- copy-pasteable commands, expected outputs, sequential steps, P1-first ordering, tables for structured data, and the accuracy rules.
  6. Verify and flag gaps. Confirm referenced paths and scripts exist. Mark unverifiable details with [VERIFY] and missing sections with [ACTION REQUIRED]: ... so the runbook doubles as a gap analysis.

Output

Write runbook.md to the project root (or a directory the user specifies). It must be 500+ lines, cover all 9 sections, contain real commands derived from the codebase, include at least one architecture diagram, carry a complete table of contents, and never fabricate infrastructure details. See references/writing-style.md for the full output checklist.

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.
