Authoring Lionagi Playbooks
A playbook is a .playbook.yaml file that defines a reusable, parametric agent
workflow. Install in ~/.lionagi/playbooks/ and invoke with
li play <name> "<prompt>", which expands to li o flow -p <name> "<prompt>".
Minimum Viable Playbook
name: hello
description: Greet and answer a question.
model: claude-code/sonnet-4-6
prompt: |
You are a patient teacher. Explain the following topic in plain language,
with one concrete example.
Run: li play hello "what is a monad?"
The positional text is appended to the prompt with a blank line because the
template contains no {input} placeholder. That is the only behaviour difference
from a template that declares {input} explicitly.
