# SOP Architect

Turn any complex task into a repeatable manual. 

## Workflow

1. **Input Task**: Describe the goal (e.g., "Monthly SEO Audit").
2. **Deconstruct**: Identify required tools, access levels, and prerequisites.
3. **Step-by-Step**: Generate 5-10 specific, numbered steps.
4. **Failure Modes**: Document what to do when things go wrong at each step.

## Output Format
SOPs are saved to `SOPs/<task-name>.md`.

## Benefits
- Reduces agent errors.
- Makes results consistent across different sessions.
- Easy to hand off to human team members.

## Installation
```bash
clawhub install sop-architect
```

Overview

This skill automatically generates detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for recurring digital tasks. It turns high-level goals into repeatable, auditable manuals suitable for teams and automated agents. Outputs are saved in a consistent folder structure for easy retrieval and handoff.

How this skill works

Provide a task name and a short description of the goal. The skill deconstructs the task into required tools, access levels, and prerequisites, then generates a concise 5–10 step procedure with numbered steps and explicit failure modes. Final SOP files are written to SOPs/<task-name>.md for versioning or distribution.

When to use it

Document recurring agency processes to scale team operations
Capture internal AI workflow steps for reproducibility and auditing
Onboard new hires with clear, actionable instructions
Standardize handoffs between engineers, analysts, and contractors
Prepare runbooks for scheduled maintenance or audits

Best practices

Start with a clear, single-goal task description to avoid overly broad SOPs
Include tool names, exact file paths, and required permissions in prerequisites
Limit steps to 5–10 actionable items to keep SOPs scannable and executable
Add expected outputs and checkpoints for each major step to verify progress
Review and test the SOP in a dry run, then iterate based on failure-mode observations

Example use cases

Monthly SEO audit: list tools, export reports, update tracking spreadsheets, and common errors to check
Weekly data backup: enumerate storage targets, access keys, verification steps, and rollback actions
AI model retrain cycle: capture dataset prep, training commands, evaluation thresholds, and remediation steps
Client onboarding checklist: account setup, permissions, initial campaign configuration, and quality checks
Incident response runbook: containment steps, escalation contacts, and recovery validation

FAQ

What file format and location are SOPs saved to?

SOPs are saved as Markdown files in the SOPs/ directory with the task name as the filename.

How detailed are the failure modes?

Failure modes are step-specific, describing likely issues, detection tips, and concrete remediation actions to restore progress.

Can I customize the step count or style?

Yes. Provide preferences in the task description (e.g., desired step count or tone) and the skill will adapt the output format.
