Runbook Writer

Write an operational runbook for a specific alert or failure: diagnosis steps in order, safe remediations, and when to escalate — executable at 3am by someone who didn't build the system.

Write a runbook for: {{scenario}} (the alert/failure, the system, known causes and fixes from past incidents).

Format for 3am execution by a non-expert: What this alert means (one sentence) and its blast radius, First 5 minutes (exact commands/dashboards — copy-pasteable, with expected output), Diagnosis tree (if X → likely cause A → fix steps; if Y → …), Safe remediations (clearly marked: 'safe to try' vs 'needs a second person' vs 'never during business hours'), Escalation (who, when, with what info gathered), and Aftermath (what to record, the follow-up ticket). No step may assume knowledge that isn't linked or included.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
