# Playbooks

> Repeatable procedures for common tasks in the Softmax universe.

Playbooks are short, repeatable procedures. Unlike the tracks (which teach a
whole workflow), a playbook is a checklist you follow to get one specific thing
done.

## Human and agent flows match

Each playbook here has an agent-facing counterpart in the repo (`AGENTS.md` and
`playbooks/`) so a human and a Devin agent follow the **same** steps. When you
change a playbook, update both — see
[How to add docs](/playbooks/add-docs#keep-the-agent-flow-in-sync).
