Who This Guide Is For

Use this guide if your team is starting with Playbook or wants to make workspace knowledge more reliable, reusable, and safe to share.

What To Put In Playbook

Use Playbook for knowledge that should last beyond a single conversation.

Good candidates include:

Need Use
Workspace guidance Page
Repeatable procedure Runbook
Project rationale Decision
Meeting output Meeting Note
Repeated question FAQ
Reusable technical reference Code Snippet
Member-facing instruction Published Page or FAQ
Security or compliance operation Runbook, Secure Reference, Evidence Guide

Avoid storing passwords, API keys, raw tokens, unsupported claims, personal scratch notes, and one-time chat replies.

Step 1: Create the Workspace Operating Guide

Create a Page titled:

Workspace Operating Guide

Use these sections:

  1. Purpose
  2. Workspace owners
  3. Project model
  4. Communication norms
  5. Support and escalation
  6. Review cadence

Outcome: everyone gets one reliable place to understand how the workspace operates.

Choose a Playbook template that matches the knowledge task before entering reviewed content.

Step 2: Create the First Project-Linked Item

Open an important project and create a Playbook item linked to that project.

Recommended starting type:

Project Type Recommended Item
Delivery project Implementation Spec
Operations project Runbook
Governance project Decision or Policy Interpretation
Security project Vulnerability Triage Runbook or SBOM Review Note

Outcome: project knowledge is connected to project work, files, tasks, and references.

Step 3: Record One Decision

Create a Decision item with:

Field What To Write
Decision statement The choice made
Owner Who owns the decision
Date When it was made
Background Why the choice was needed
Alternatives considered Other options reviewed
Impact What changes because of this
Review trigger When to revisit it

Outcome: future users understand why a path was chosen.

Step 4: Create One Runbook

Create a Runbook for one repeatable process.

Use these sections:

  1. Trigger
  2. Preconditions
  3. Procedure
  4. Validation
  5. Escalation
  6. Rollback
  7. Review date

Outcome: the team can execute the process consistently.

Step 5: Add References

Add related references to the item.

Useful references include:

Reference Type Use
Project overview Connect the item to project work
Files Link source material or evidence
Build spec Support implementation work
Govern policy or evidence Support governance work
Guard finding or SBOM Support security work
Tools saved run Preserve reusable output
Approved HTTPS URL Link trusted external material
Batoi Playbook register showing knowledge surfaces and creation controls
Use the Playbook register to create, find, review, and organize durable workspace knowledge.

Outcome: the Playbook item becomes an operating hub rather than isolated text.

Step 6: Use Batoi Intelligence Carefully

Use Batoi Intelligence to:

  • draft missing sections
  • improve structure
  • summarize for sharing
  • extract follow-ups
  • suggest a better item type
  • flag stale or incomplete content

Review all suggestions before applying them.

Outcome: faster writing with responsible approval.

Step 7: Publish or Share After Review

Before sharing an item with Workspace Members:

  1. Confirm the audience.
  2. Choose the share policy.
  3. Apply redaction.
  4. Preview the member-safe version.
  5. Require acknowledgment when the item creates an obligation.
  6. Publish.
  7. Track acknowledgment and access analytics.
