What it does

Playbook Lookup is an agent skill from papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops. Query past incident resolutions from the knowledge base. Use when asked about prior incidents, what fixed a host/alert before, or playbooks for similar alerts. Searches by hostname or alert rule name.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `playbook-lookup.sh`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Monitoring and alerting and Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: 3-tier agentic ChatOps (n8n + GPT-4o + Claude Code) implementing all 21 patterns from "Agentic Design Patterns" — solo operator managing 137 devices.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked about prior incidents
  • What fixed a host/alert before
  • Playbooks for similar alerts

Example prompts

  • “/playbook-lookup”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. RUN THE TOOL FIRST. Do not answer from memory about past incidents.
  2. Present the results clearly. Include the issue ID, date, and confidence.
  3. Note if no results found. The knowledge base only contains resolved infra sessions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 473f057. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Playbook Lookup loads about 363 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~363

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
