Use this skill when responding to a production incident, drafting a postmortem, preparing an on-call handover, creating a runbook, or troubleshooting a degraded service. Applies Google SRE principles with agent-safe execution (dry-run modes, human approval gates, blast-radius limits, and a Never-Automate refusal list for destructive commands).

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

# SRE Runbooks

Production-safe DevOps and SRE runbook automation. Execute incident response
procedures, draft postmortems, generate on-call handovers, and troubleshoot
production issues — all with built-in safety gates that prevent the agent
from making destructive changes without human approval.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Responding to a production incident (alert fired, service degraded)
- Writing or updating a runbook for a service
- Drafting a postmortem after an incident
- Preparing on-call handover notes
- Troubleshooting a deployment failure or pipeline issue
- Performing a root cause analysis (RCA)
- Any request like "investigate this alert", "write a postmortem",
  "create runbook for X", "prepare handover notes"

## Safety Model

This skill is **risk tier L2 (elevated)**. Every automated action follows
these safety rules:

### Execution Gates

| Gate | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Read-only first** | All investigations start read-only; writes require explicit escalation |
| **Dry-run by default** | Destructive commands print what they *would* do before execution |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/sre-runbooks@sha256:d34c7691f7277764

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
