Process Mapper Skill

Systematic workflow for discovering, documenting, and analyzing processes. Implements user's SOP-first doctrine: "You can't automate what you can't see."

Core Philosophy

From user's work:

"When I sit with a person or team to start working through how they can work out where and how to apply AI into their job, I often like to start with a common task or value stream, and talk through—or more often than not, document—the SOP for that value stream."

Three truths:

1. Shadow processes are real processes (what actually happens ≠ org chart)
2. Tacit knowledge is documentable (capture decision points, not decision logic)
3. Structure enables automation (visibility → AI opportunities)
