Use when stepping through a Rundown runbook that is already active or has just been started, when receiving delegation instructions with a claim token, or when rundown CLI commands appear in step output. For cold-start "run the X runbook" requests with nothing active, the rundown launcher skill starts the runbook first.

Use when orchestrating multi-agent work through rundown delegation, dispatching substeps to child agents, or managing delegation tokens

Use when running the Rundown end-to-end test runbook and reporting structured feedback on the workflow.

Use when implementing a written plan task-by-task — the per-task cycle, commit discipline, and escalation rules that an execute-plan runbook orchestrates around.

Use when running the full plan → review → execute pipeline — write the plan, review it, then implement it behind review and verify gates. The top-level entrypoint that orchestrates writing-plans, plan review, and executing-plans end to end.

Use when asked to run or start a Rundown runbook by name (e.g. "run the planning runbook", "start the deploy runbook") and no runbook is active yet. The launcher that resolves a runbook and begins execution. Invocable as /rundown <runbook>.

Use when converting an existing Claude skill (SKILL.md) into a rundown runbook — distilling the skill's workflow backbone into orchestration steps and artifacts without duplicating the skill's context

Use when running the Rundown end-to-end test runbook and reporting structured feedback on the workflow.

Use when executing multi-step processes requiring state persistence and agent coordination - defines two-tier protocol where subagents report PASS/FAIL status and main agent handles dispatch, advancement, and failure troubleshooting

Use when partner provides a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints - loads plan, reviews critically, executes tasks in batches, reports for review between batches

Algorithmic decision tree for when to follow plan exactly vs when to report STOPPED - prevents scope creep and unauthorized deviations

Dispatch N independent review agents, collate by consensus ratio, cross-check exclusive findings

Use when design is complete and you need detailed implementation tasks for engineers with zero codebase context - creates comprehensive implementation plans with exact file paths, complete code examples, and verification steps assuming engineer has minimal domain knowledge
