A playbook is just agents, tools, and instructions.
Pick the agents and tools, describe the workflow in plain English, and save. The orchestrator and killswitch are added automatically.
Agents
Helper agents this playbook can call. The orchestrator + killswitch are always added on top.
Tools
HTTP wrappers exposed to this playbook. Even with no agents attached, the orchestrator can call these directly.
Orchestrator instructions
An orchestrator is automatically assigned to every playbook. Describe the full workflow sequence it must follow — which steps to run, in what order, the skip/branch conditions, and when the workflow is complete. Individual step prompts below should describe what each agent does, not the pipeline order.
Workflow steps
Agent-specific instructions, one step per agent. Each step's prompt goes to that agent verbatim at runtime — the orchestrator only decides ordering and carries context forward. Leave empty for freeform mode (orchestrator delegates on its own).
Special instructions
Edge cases, tone, things the agent should never do. Applied to every step.
Approval notes
Optional. What requires human approval before execution.
