Document type: runbook

Table of Contents

This page defines the runbook document type — one entry in the document types taxonomy. The general contract every document follows (frontmatter, state, linking, tags) lives on the taxonomy page; this page carries only what is specific to runbook.

Contract

Folder
doc/llm/runbooks/
Level
cross
Filename
runbook.org inside a <slug>/ folder (same pattern as story.org, task_*.org).
(no term)
Not stateful — runbooks are durable reference. No TODO.
How to create
compass add runbook or projects/ores.codegen/generate_doc.sh --type runbook.
Required sections
  • * Goal — what this runbook achieves, in one sentence.
  • * Preconditions — what must be true before starting (branch state, sprint state, tooling, etc.).
  • * Steps — ordered list. Each step references a recipe or skill by id-link, with a one-line description. Steps may branch ("if declined, go to step N").
  • * Postconditions — what is true after completing.
  • * See also — id-links to related runbooks, recipes, or knowledge documents.
