Write a support runbook for handling a recurring issue type consistently. Use when asked to write a support runbook, a troubleshooting playbook for agents, a handling guide for a common issue, or a tier-1 response procedure. Produces a runbook — issue identification, triage/severity, step-by-step diagnosis & resolution, decision tree, when/how to escalate, and the customer-comms templates — so any agent resolves it the same way.
What to give it
▸The issue type — the recurring problem this runbook covers (e.g. "sync failures," "login loops," "billing discrepancy").
▸How to recognise it — symptoms and how it's reported.
▸The resolution path(s) — diagnostic steps and fixes (including the branches — "if X then…").
▸Escalation — when it exceeds tier-1, who it goes to, and with what diagnostics.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Identification covers how customers actually describe it (not just the internal name)
✓Severity/triage guidance sets response expectations
✓Diagnosis is a clear ordered path / decision tree, not a wall of tips
✓Escalation has an explicit trigger, target, and the diagnostics to attach
✓Customer-comms snippets cover acknowledge / update / resolve / escalate
✓Flags the upstream fix if the issue is frequent (so support feeds product)
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not write a tip list instead of an ordered path — agents need "do this, then this," with branches
Do not leave escalation vague — "escalate if needed" means everyone escalates differently; time-box and specify the target + attachments
Do not omit the customer comms — resolution + silence still feels like bad support
Do not ignore severity — treating a full outage like a how-to question loses trust fast
Do not let a high-frequency issue stay a runbook forever — flag the root-cause fix to product
