Runbook Generator Skill for Claude
Generates comprehensive operational runbooks for any system or process. Reads codebase, infrastructure config, and deployment scripts to produce structured runbook.md files formatted for on-call engineers. Use when you need operations documentation, incident response guides, deployment procedures, or disaster recovery plans.

4 sections, as written by the authorRunbook Generator
Generate a comprehensive operational runbook.md from a system's codebase, infrastructure config, and deployment scripts -- written for on-call engineers working incidents, deployments, and routine operations at 3am.
Contents
references/discovery-patterns.md-- Glob/Grep patterns and config files to inspect during discovery.references/output-template.md-- The full 9-section runbook.md structure to populate.references/writing-style.md-- Clarity, urgency, completeness, formatting, and accuracy rules plus output requirements.
Workflow
- Discover the system. Run the Glob patterns in
references/discovery-patterns.md(Step 1) to identify the stack and infrastructure. - Read key configuration. Open and analyze the config files listed in
references/discovery-patterns.md(Step 2): IaC, containers, CI/CD, app config, deploy scripts, monitoring, migrations, load balancers, docs. - Identify operational behavior. Run the Grep patterns in
references/discovery-patterns.md(Step 3) to surface health checks, metrics, caching, jobs, migrations, rollback, scaling, backups, TLS, secrets, alerting, and more. - Generate the runbook. Produce
runbook.mdfollowing the structure inreferences/output-template.md. Cover all 9 sections; adapt content to what discovery found; never include purely speculative sections. - Apply writing standards. Follow every rule in
references/writing-style.md-- copy-pasteable commands, expected outputs, sequential steps, P1-first ordering, tables for structured data, and the accuracy rules. - Verify and flag gaps. Confirm referenced paths and scripts exist. Mark unverifiable details with
[VERIFY]and missing sections with[ACTION REQUIRED]: ...so the runbook doubles as a gap analysis.
Output
Write runbook.md to the project root (or a directory the user specifies). It must be 500+ lines, cover all 9 sections, contain real commands derived from the codebase, include at least one architecture diagram, carry a complete table of contents, and never fabricate infrastructure details. See references/writing-style.md for the full output checklist.

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.
Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.
Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).
Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).
Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).
This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.
Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
