Use when the user asks to run a named playbook (.overture/playbooks/<slug>.json) from this Claude session. A session cannot run one - a playbook's steps are the owner's - so this skill explains that, lists what is available, and points the user to the console's Playbooks tab, where they press Run now themselves.

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

# Playbooks run from the console, not from a session

A playbook is a short JSON file at `.overture/playbooks/<slug>.json`
that lists steps the owner wants fired as one:

- `round` — start a deliberation on an item.
- `visual` — ask the agent to draw a diagram or mock.
- `chat` — a free-text message in the chat thread.

**Every one of those steps is written as the owner.** Since 1.30.1 a
Claude session may not write as the owner (an agent that could author a
playbook file could otherwise forge the owner's rounds and visuals). So
since 1.47 (U7, owner's decision) a session does not run playbooks at
all, and says so instead of silently doing nothing:

- `agent.py playbook <slug>` prints why on stderr, runs nothing, and
  exits 1.
- The agent door's `/playbook` answers 403 with the same sentence,
  before any step runs.

## Flow

1. **Say it plainly.** Tell the user that playbooks run from the
   console's **Playbooks** tab (or the Inbox's **Delegate → Run a
   playbook**), because their steps are the owner's.
2. **Help them find it.** If they named a slug, check that
   `.overture/playbooks/<slug>.json` exists, and say what its steps
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add mikeheid/overture/playbook@sha256:9fa8bec02b928117

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.bb531aa, 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.
