What does the Runbook skill do in Claude Code?

It analyzes your recent work in the current branch to create a structured markdown runbook that outlines necessary commands, usage examples, and best practices for the task you just completed.

Does the generated runbook include API keys or secrets?

No, the skill is explicitly configured to exclude any secrets, passwords, or sensitive credentials from the output to ensure your documentation is safe for version control.

How are the commands organized in the documentation?

The skill groups related commands into logical batches, making it easier for users to follow the workflow sequentially without jumping between unrelated steps.

Where is the runbook file created?

The skill generates the runbook directly within your current working branch, allowing you to commit the documentation alongside your code changes.
