A runbook is a short document you can follow when the host is talking and the producer is already busy. If it only lives in someone’s head, you do not have a runbook.
Who thanks gifts, who mods chat, who restarts the client. Write names, not roles. Roles drift. Names do not.
Numbered steps: check host network, restart capture, verify events resume, post a status line to the team channel. No essays.
Stop capture, export archive, paste recap bullets, confirm the next shift or that the room is actually off.
If the runbook needs a table of contents, it will not be read. Link out for deep docs. The page next to the keyboard stays thin.
