name: runbook description: Generate operational runbooks for services, procedures, or incident response

Operational Runbook Generator

Current Time: !date K8s Context: !kubectl config current-context

Generate operational runbooks for services, procedures, or incident response. Investigates the codebase and infrastructure to produce accurate, actionable procedures. Documents to Obsidian.

Input

• Topic: service name, operation type, or incident scenario
• Scope: deployment, scaling, failover, maintenance, troubleshooting
• Optional: specific scenarios to cover

Investigation Strategy

Launch parallel investigation tracks:

Track 1: Codebase Exploration (explore agent)

• Identify service entry points and configuration
• Find health check endpoints
• Map dependencies (databases, caches, external services)
• Locate logging and metrics instrumentation
• Find existing scripts or automation

Track 2: Infrastructure Analysis (inferred agent: k8s/sre/gcp-dev)

• Review deployment manifests
• Identify scaling configuration
• Map service dependencies
• Find monitoring and alerting setup
• Review backup and recovery procedures

Track 3: External Research (librarian agent)

• Find operational best practices for the service type
• Research common failure modes
• Identify industry-standard procedures

Output

Write to Obsidian via obsidian_append_content at: $OBSIDIAN_PATH/Runbooks/YYYY-MM-DD-service-operation.md

Note: $OBSIDIAN_PATH must be a vault-relative path (e.g., Projects/myapp), set per-project via direnv. The obsidian_append_content tool expects paths relative to the vault root.

Document Structure

Use this template for the Obsidian document:

@~/.config/opencode/templates/runbook.md

Behavior

1. Parse topic to identify service and operation scope
2. Infer appropriate infrastructure agent (k8s, sre, gcp-dev)
3. Launch explore, librarian, and inferred agent in parallel
4. Extract configuration, endpoints, and dependencies from codebase
5. Identify common operations and failure modes
6. Generate step-by-step procedures with actual commands
7. Write runbook to Obsidian via obsidian_append_content with auto-generated filename: YYYY-MM-DD-service-operation.md
