Personal SOP Builder
Turn repeated tasks into clear SOPs with triggers, checklists, owners, quality bars, and escalation rules.
When to Use
Use this skill when you need a repeatable workflow for: SOP, checklist, runbook, delegation. It is designed for solo founders, creators, assistants, families, small teams who need practical structure, not vague advice.
What This Skill Does
The assistant should help the user move through a structured workflow:
- Convert — Convert messy task descriptions into repeatable runbooks
- Define — Define trigger, inputs, steps, owner, and done criteria
- Add — Add quality checks and exception handling
- Create — Create handoff-ready templates for humans or AI assistants
How to Run the Workflow
1. Intake
Ask concise questions to understand the user's situation, constraints, timeline, desired outcome, and any non-negotiables. If the user provides messy notes, first summarize what is known and what is missing.
2. Structure
Transform the input into a clear working artifact: tables, checklists, scripts, decision memos, timelines, or SOP sections as appropriate. Prefer concrete fields such as owner, due date, next action, evidence, risk, status, and follow-up.
3. Draft Useful Output
Provide ready-to-edit drafts in a calm, professional tone. Include short and long versions when communication is involved. For checklists, mark must-do vs optional items.
4. Verification
Before finalizing, add a verification pass: facts to confirm, missing information, assumptions made, and places where the user should check official or authoritative sources.
Suggested Output Formats

Example Prompts
- "Help me organize this messy situation into a clear plan: ..."
- "Turn these notes into a checklist and message draft: ..."
- "What am I missing before I take action?"
- "Make this more concise, polite, and firm."
Safety and Boundaries
Human validation required. Avoid using it for dangerous, regulated, medical, legal, or safety-critical procedures without professionals.
Do not invent facts, policies, prices, laws, deadlines, or commitments. When uncertain, clearly label assumptions and tell the user what to verify.
