About this capability

An engineering runbook — service overview, alerts table, dashboards links, common procedures with copy-pasteable commands, on-call rotation, and an incident-response checklist. Use when the brief mentions "runbook", "ops doc", "on-call guide", "SRE doc", or "运维手册".

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by nexu-io/open-design in design-templates/eng-runbook/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Produce a single-page engineering runbook.

Workflow

  1. Read DESIGN.md.
  2. Identify the service from the brief.
  3. Layout:
    • Header: service name, owner team, severity tier, version.
    • Service summary paragraph + dependency list.
    • Alerts table: alert name / severity / what it means / first response.
    • Dashboards & links list.
    • Common procedures block (3–4) with code blocks (deploy, rollback, rotate keys).
    • On-call rotation table (week / primary / secondary / backup).
    • Incident response checklist (5 numbered steps).
  4. One inline <style>, semantic HTML, monospace for code blocks.
