runbook

runbook is a skill for Claude Code from sun2443/designer-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (629 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of runbook, Apache-2.0.

A step-by-step guide for carrying out a recurring operational task. It records prerequisites, commands or actions, expected results, troubleshooting, rollback steps, and escalation contacts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document deployments, maintenance tasks, incident procedures, or any repeatable operation that needs verification and recovery steps.
Why use it?
It turns informal knowledge into repeatable instructions that an on-call or operations person can follow. This reduces guesswork during routine work and failures.

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 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 13d 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.

If Connectors Available

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

  • Search for existing runbooks to update rather than create from scratch
  • Publish the completed runbook to your ops wiki

If ~~ITSM is connected:

  • Link the runbook to related incident types and change requests
  • Auto-populate escalation contacts from on-call schedules

Tips

  1. Be painfully specific — "Run the script" is not a step. "Run python sync.py --prod --dry-run from the ops server" is.
  2. Include failure modes — What can go wrong at each step and what to do about it.
  3. Test the runbook — Have someone unfamiliar with the process follow it. Fix where they get stuck.

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.
