Turns an engineer's notes, a ticket history or a chat thread into a draft step-by-step runbook with preconditions, stop conditions, numbered steps with checks, verification, rollback and escalation, for the team to validate before use. Commands verbatim, placeholders marked, every gap UNKNOWN; never executes a step or fills a gap from general knowledge. Use when the user asks to "write a runbook from these notes", "turn this resolved ticket into a runbook", "document the steps we ran" or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Runbook drafter ## Purpose Read the source material for one operational procedure (engineer's notes, a resolved ticket's work notes, a chat thread or a partial existing document) and produce one draft runbook for the team to validate: why and when it is run, what must be true first, when to stop, each step with expected result and check, how to confirm success, how to back out, and whom to escalate to. Every step traces to the source or reads UNKNOWN. The agent drafts; the team validates by dry run and the runbook owner approves. ## When to use Use when the user asks to write or tidy a runbook, playbook or how-to for a technical procedure with commands; to turn a resolved ticket or a chat thread into repeatable steps with checks and rollback; or to check an existing runbook for gaps. Do not use for a business process without commands, use sop-drafter instead; for a knowledge article or known-error record, use knowledge-article-drafter; for the post-incident review, use incident-postmortem-drafter. Do not use to run, test or schedule the procedure, to decide whether it is safe, or to fill missing steps from general knowledge. ## Inputs …

How to install
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-agent-skills/runbook-drafter@sha256:8f823b5dc80d51cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.f14a4fb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
