## Overview

A runbook is the difference between a 10-minute mitigation and a 2-hour
adventure: the exact steps to diagnose and fix a known failure mode, written
for a tired human under pressure. This skill covers structuring runbooks,
writing procedures that are safe to follow half-asleep, and keeping them
alive as systems change.

## When to use

- Writing a runbook for a new alert or known failure mode
- Turning tribal knowledge into documented procedures
- Reviewing runbooks for clarity, safety, and freshness
- Linking runbooks to alerts so on-call can act immediately
