A Playbook is a saved set of instructions you run by typing a slash and its name. This page shows how to find one and run it in a chat on Windows.

A Playbook is a set of instructions you wrote once and want to reuse. "Review this company's month" is a good one. Instead of typing it again, you run the Playbook.
Every Playbook has a short name, such as month-review. You run it by typing a slash and that name in the message box.
Start a message with /. A small list of your Playbooks appears above the message box. Keep typing to narrow it down.
Type / and the first letters of the name.
Pick one
Press Enter or Tab to choose the highlighted Playbook. This fills in the name. It does not send anything yet.
Fill in what it asks for
If the Playbook has no parameters, the message box now holds /month-review. Add any extra words after the name if you like, then press Enter to send.
If it has parameters, a window opens with one field for each. Fill in every one and press Run.
A Playbook with a parameter asks for it before it runs. Will send shows exactly what Haruno receives.
A parameter is a blank in the Playbook that you fill in each time, such as the name of the company. The Will send box shows what will go to Haruno. Run stays unavailable until every field has something in it. If Haruno is still answering, wait for it to finish or stop it first.
When a Playbook runs successfully, the chat shows a line above the answer that reads Used Playbook · title. Click it to open that Playbook in the Playbooks window. A Playbook that failed or did not finish shows no line.
The Activities panel has a Playbooks section. It lists each Playbook the session used, with its kind and how many times it ran. A Playbook that failed is still listed there, by its name.
Run one from the menu
The Playbooks menu in the menu bar lists your Recent Playbooks. Choose one to start it the same way as typing its name.
The Playbooks menu keeps your recent ones close.
Manage Playbooks… opens the window where you create and edit them.
Built-in and learned Playbooks
The Playbooks window lists four kinds of Playbook. The slash list offers only the first two.
Yours and Project: the ones you wrote, as described below. Type / to run them.
Built into Haruno: Playbooks that come with the app. You can open one to read it, but you cannot change, copy or delete it. You cannot run one by typing its name, because each one needs details that only Haruno supplies.
Learned by Haruno: Playbooks Haruno saved for itself while it worked. You can open one, delete it, or press Keep as My Playbook to make it yours. Keeping it copies it into your list and removes it from the learned list. You cannot run one by typing its name, but Haruno can still use it on its own when it fits the task.
Each suggestion shows the name and the title. A person icon means a Personal Playbook that is yours in every project. A folder icon means it belongs to the current project. About five fit on screen at a time. Scroll for more.
Some Playbooks cannot be run right now, and the list says why:
The list says
What it means
Available in a new session
The Playbook was changed after this chat began. Choose Run in New Session to start a new chat that has the latest version.
Another Playbook or built-in command uses this name
Give your Playbook a different name.
Automatic use only
Haruno can use this Playbook on its own. You cannot type it.
Good to know
Playbooks still work in a temporary chat. The slash list does not open when the message starts with a blank line, and it hides while a window or a full-width side panel is open.
