# Turn Markdown runbooks into executable, parameterized procedures with Runme

Run named steps directly from Markdown runbooks so operational docs stay executable instead of drifting into stale reference text.

## Prerequisites

Runme CLI, Markdown runbooks with fenced code blocks, local shell or supported runtime

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install with `brew install runme` or `npm install -g runme`, point it at a Markdown file or repo, then use commands like `runme list` and `runme run <step>` to execute named runbook steps.
```
