# Disaster Recovery Planner

This skill translates "Availability" requirements into actual recovery procedures (Runbooks).

## Capabilities

### 1. Runbook Generation

- Creates step-by-step guides for recovering from server failures or data loss.
- Tailored to your specific Cloud provider and architecture.

### 2. Resilience Audit

- Scans Terraform/CloudFormation to ensure automated backups and multi-region/multi-AZ settings are active.
- Validates that the current configuration can meet the RTO/RPO goals defined in [Availability Best Practices](../knowledge/operations/availability_best_practices.md).

## Usage

- "Generate a DR runbook for our production database on AWS."
- "Audit our IaC to see if we can actually meet our 4-hour RTO (Recovery Time Objective)."

## Knowledge Protocol

- This skill adheres to the `knowledge/orchestration/knowledge-protocol.md`. It automatically integrates Public, Confidential (Company/Client), and Personal knowledge tiers, prioritizing the most specific secrets while ensuring no leaks to public outputs.
- References [Availability Best Practices](../knowledge/operations/availability_best_practices.md) for disaster recovery patterns (Pilot Light, Warm Standby, etc.) and RTO/RPO metrics.
