Key takeaways
- A playbook is an ordered set of tool calls with a stop point. Read first, preview second, apply last.
- Always dry-run edits that touch many posts.
- The agent drafts and fixes drafts; you publish.
- Each playbook below names the Roami tools involved and the point where you decide.
Roami also keeps a living set of these on its Playbooks page. The five below are the ones a blogger reaches for most.

| Step | Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | audit_content_hygiene, audit_media_hygiene | List problems |
| 2 | preview_content_metadata | Dry run of proposed titles and descriptions |
| 3 | You say OK | Decision point |
| 4 | fix_content_metadata, bulk_fix_media_hygiene | Apply |
| 5 | Re-run the audits | Confirm |
Stop point: step 3. See Dry-Run Bulk Edits and Blog SEO Audit Checklist.

Rules that apply to all five
- Pass the project id every time.
- Read before you write.
- Preview before bulk changes.
- Don't ask for publishing; it is refused.
- Log what changed and when.
A prompt that runs a whole playbook with a pause
Run the weekly hygiene playbook on [project]: audit content and media,
preview metadata fixes for the 20 highest-impression pages, then STOP and
show me the preview as a table. Do not apply anything until I reply OK.
Which playbook when?
| Situation | Playbook |
|---|---|
| Once a week | 1 |
| After a Search Console sync | 2 |
| After publishing several new posts | 3 |
| Launching or revising a page | 4 |
| Planning next month | 5 |
