Runbook

Turns undocumented tribal knowledge into actual step-by-step procedures your on-call team can follow at 3am. You get a structured template with exact commands, expected results, failure handling for each step, verification checklists, and escalation paths. The real value is in forcing you to be painfully specific, like "run python sync.py --prod --dry-run from the ops server" instead of "run the script". If you have a knowledge base connected, it'll search for existing runbooks to update rather than creating duplicates. Best used when you catch yourself explaining the same procedure for the third time or realize only two people know how to deploy production.
