AI AGENTS

Scheduled Runbook Drill Rehearsal

On a weekly schedule, an agent walks a chosen Notion runbook against staging in fully simulated mode, flags any step whose documented commands no longer match reality.

What it does

Keeps runbooks from rotting. On a schedule the agent rehearses a documented playbook against staging without making real changes, detects steps where the written command or expected output no longer holds, and opens a tracked issue for each drift it finds.

When to use it

Use it when your runbooks are written once and trusted forever — until the night they fail because a command changed six months ago. This validates them continuously so the playbook is correct before you need it under pressure.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the drill for the next runbook in rotation.
  2. 2The agent loads the runbook from Notion.
  3. 3It executes each step against staging in simulate-only mode via shell, capturing actual vs expected output.
  4. 4Logic flags any step where the command errors or the output diverges from what the runbook documents.
  5. 5For each flagged step it files a GitHub issue describing the drift and the suggested fix.
  6. 6It posts a drill summary to Slack with pass, fail, and drift counts.
