When to automate
Good candidates are recurring checks, evidence collection, status reviews, certificate tasks, release hygiene, and post-incident summaries.
Use Cases
Runbook Automation
Runbook automation turns recurring manual operational work into repeatable skills, workflows, scheduled jobs, or plugin-backed steps. OpsRabbit keeps room for human review where the action is risky or environment-specific.
What this page covers
Use skills for procedural guidance and workflows for deterministic input/output contracts.
Use scheduled jobs when the runbook should execute on a cadence and preserve thread output.
Use sandbox, approvals, connections, and resource grants to keep automation controlled.

How to encode
Keep reasoning in skills, deterministic steps in workflows, external access in connections, and recurring triggers in schedules.
Safety
