Write a production operations runbook that provides on-call engineers with step-by-step procedures for operating, monitoring, and recovering a system. Covers system overview, alert response procedures, common failure modes, diagnostic commands, escalation paths, and maintenance procedures. Modeled on Google SRE runbook standards.
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
## Purpose Produce a runbook that enables any trained engineer - with no prior knowledge of this specific service - to respond to an alert, diagnose a failure, and execute recovery procedures. **A runbook is not a tutorial or an architecture overview.** It is a rapid-reference guide for someone who is paged at 3 AM and needs to resolve an incident in 15 minutes, not learn the system from scratch. ## Input **Works best with:** The name of the service being documented. **Also valuable:** The alert definitions, common failure modes, diagnostic commands, architecture overview, and escalation contacts. **Example invocation:** `Write a runbook for the PayFlow payment gateway. It's a PHP 8.3 app on Nginx/PHP-FPM, MySQL primary + replica, Redis for sessions/cache, and a queue worker process for async jobs. Alerts fire for: high 5xx rate, slow DB queries, queue depth > 1000, and PHP-FPM pool exhaustion.` ## Key Concepts ### What a Good Runbook Contains (Google SRE Standard) 1. **Overview** - What the service does, its SLA, and its dependencies (30 seconds to read) 2. **Monitoring and Dashboards** - Where to look when something is wrong …

How to install
mdr add fattain-naime/engineering-docs/technical-runbook@sha256:979cac7cefa43b3fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.2f82174, 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.
