Runbook
04-operations/runbooksA repeatable operational procedure anyone — or any agent — can run cold.
What it is
A step-by-step procedure for an operational task: restoring a backup, rotating a key, clearing a queue, handling an incident. Written so it can be followed without prior context.
When to write it
When a procedure is worth repeating reliably — anything you'd hate to improvise during an incident.
What goes in it
- When to run it (the trigger)
- The exact steps — commands and files
- How to verify it worked
- Escalation / rollback if it goes wrong
How it fits
Lives in 04-operations/runbooks/. Pairs with the deployment checklist as the project's operational memory.
