Create or update a runbook for an operational scenario — an incident an alert fires for, a recurring scheduled task, or a known failure mode on a live service — using a consistent template. Use when writing, drafting, authoring, or updating a runbook for an alert, incident, on-call procedure, scheduled maintenance, or operational SOP. Applies a YAGNI preflight requiring the scenario to be real before producing the runbook. Does not produce feature or system documentation — use…

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

# Create or Update Runbook

## Operating Principles

- **YAGNI applies to runbooks themselves.** Apply the evidence-based YAGNI rule from
  [../../references/yagni-rule.md](../../references/yagni-rule.md). A runbook is worth writing only when the scenario is
  grounded in something real: an alert that has actually fired, a documented incident, a recurring task that exists, or
  a known failure mode on a service that receives production traffic. Runbooks for hypothetical alerts, "best practice
  says we should have one," or "we'll need this someday" are YAGNI candidates and the runbook should be deferred until
  the scenario actually occurs. The canonical anti-pattern from project history: Sentry runbooks for staging-only Sentry
  where data isn't reaching production — alerts that will never fire because no signal flows. The user always wins; the
  rule's job is to make the cost of speculative runbooks visible.
- **The companion evidence rule applies to the runbook's supporting evidence.** Apply the evidence rule from
  [../../references/evidence-rule.md](../../references/evidence-rule.md) to the citations that ground the scenario: name

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add testdouble/han/runbook@sha256:1fd29933594a1917

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.cdb751e, 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.
