+# Runbook Executor
+
+Store operational runbooks as structured YAML or Markdown and execute them step-by-step with human approval gates for risky actions.
+
+## Problem
+Incident procedures often live in docs that are hard to follow under pressure, leading to skipped checks and inconsistent responses.
+
+## Core capabilities
+- Parse runbooks into explicit steps, prerequisites, and rollback actions.
+- Execute commands with dry-run previews and approval prompts.
+- Record execution logs, decisions, and timestamps for postmortems.
+- Pause and hand off to a human operator at defined control points.
+
+## MVP scope
+- YAML schema for step type, command, timeout, and approval level.
+- CLI and chat-driven execution interface.
+- Immutable audit log output per run.
+
+## Success criteria
+- Reduced incident recovery time.
+- Higher runbook adherence and better post-incident traceability.
+
+## Stretch ideas
+- Simulated practice mode for fire drills.
+- Auto-generate runbook health reports showing stale or untested steps.
