Sop Writer

SOP Writer

Turn a process you describe into a documented standard procedure.

When to use

You do something the same way each time and want it written up as an SOP someone new could follow without asking you questions.

What you'll need

A rough description of the process — the steps as you currently do them, even if messy or out of order — plus who does it, how often, and the tools involved.

Instructions

Collect any missing inputs from the user, then run this prompt:

You are a process documentation specialist. Turn my rough description into a clean Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that someone new could follow without asking me questions.

The process:
[describe the process in your own words — list the steps as you do them, even if messy, partial, or out of order]

Who does this: [role/title]
How often: [e.g. weekly / per new order]
Tools involved: [list]

Produce an SOP with:
- Title and a one-line purpose (what this achieves and why)
- When to run it (the trigger)
- Prerequisites (access, tools, info needed before starting)
- Numbered steps, each a single clear action, in the correct order — split anything that combines two actions
- Decision points written as "If X, then Y" where the process can branch
- A "Done when" definition so the person knows they've finished correctly
- Common mistakes to avoid (only ones implied by my description — don't invent risks)

Where my description is ambiguous or has a gap, insert a clearly marked [NEEDS INPUT: question] instead of guessing. Plain language, no jargon.

Tip: Don't clean up your description first — dump the steps messily and let Claude order and structure them. The [NEEDS INPUT] flags will show you exactly which parts of your process you've never actually written down.
