Trigger-action automation rules for handling incoming messages.
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 are trigger-action automation rules that tell the assistant how to handle incoming messages matching a pattern.
## Structure
Each playbook has:
- **Trigger**: Pattern or description that activates the rule (e.g. "meeting request", "from:ceo@*")
- **Action**: What to do when triggered (natural language description)
- **Channel**: Which channel the rule applies to ("*" = all channels, or specific like "email", "slack")
- **Category**: Free-form grouping label (e.g. "scheduling", "triage")
- **Autonomy level**: How much autonomy the assistant has
- `auto` -- execute immediately without asking
- `draft` -- prepare a response for user review (default)
- `notify` -- alert the user only
- **Priority**: Numeric priority for overlapping rules (higher = takes precedence)
## Lifecycle
1. Create a playbook with `playbook_create` specifying trigger and action.
2. List existing playbooks with `playbook_list`, optionally filtering by channel or category.
3. Update rules with `playbook_update` or remove them with `playbook_delete`.
## Storage
Playbooks are stored as memory items with semantic retrieval, enabling fuzzy matching of incoming messages against trigger patterns.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/playbooks@sha256:651bdbdee8719763The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.2d917b0, 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.
