playbook-design

Guide the developer through a structured interview to design a Playbook — a repeatable, versioned, executable workflow. Produce a valid YAML artifact and save it to ./playbooks/<name>.yml in their repo.

Process

Step 1: Establish the goal

• What triggers it, and what does a successful run look like?
• Roughly how many steps does it have? Are any steps parallel or conditional?

Confirm understanding before continuing.

Step 2: Name and describe the playbook
