playbooks
Coaches' strategy guides
A playbook is a book containing a sports team's strategies and plays, kept secret from opponents.
The term extends to any collection of established tactics or procedures: the political playbook, the standard corporate playbook.
In theater, a playbook is the script of a play.
In computing, playbooks are automated scripts that execute predefined tasks across systems.
