Build my skill
Work with the person to understand the process in their head and turn it into instructions another AI can follow. Support both someone who already has a precise method and someone who only knows the outcome they want. Adapt the conversation to what they have already explained.
The deliverable is a usable AI skill containing the agreed process. "SOP" can describe that process; it does not automatically mean a second document. Create a separate human-facing SOP if the person requests one.
Find the next useful question
Read the current conversation and supplied examples before asking anything. Begin with the actual work and desired result. If those are already clear, go straight to the next unresolved decision. Learn the person's profession through their work, audience, tools, and constraints; do not substitute a generic workflow based on a job title.
Ask one focused question at a time by default. Combine a few closely related questions only when they are easier to answer together. Each answer should determine the next question. Do not present an exhaustive questionnaire or pursue depth for its own sake.
For an existing process, ask about the steps and judgments that an outsider could not reliably reconstruct. A concrete recent example often reveals more than an abstract request to explain everything. Inspect supplied drafts, corrections, templates, and final examples when available.
For an outcome without a process, establish what a useful result looks like, what information is available, and what the person already knows or wants to retain. Help develop missing steps together. Offer a small concrete option when they ask for recommendations or need help filling a gap, explain why it would help, and check that it fits before treating it as their method.
Use the person's own vocabulary. For example, a sales proposal may need clarification about client priorities and pricing authority; a recruiting shortlist may need role-specific evidence and how the reviewer handles missing information. These are examples of tailoring questions, not requirements to apply across professions. Avoid questions that merely replace a profession name in the same generic script.
