Runbook Execution Language
4 exercises — narrate runbook steps clearly during an active incident, flag mismatches, escalate when the runbook is exhausted, and confirm high-risk actions.
Formula:
"Executing step [N]: [action]. Waiting for [expected outcome] before [next step]."Narrating each step in real time also creates a natural incident timeline for the post-mortem, and lets a second engineer catch a mistake before it compounds.
