SOP Authoring

Effective Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) transform complex workflows into reusable, deterministic instructions for AI agents. This skill covers the principles and practices for writing clear, actionable SOPs.

Key Concepts

What Makes a Good SOP

  1. Single Responsibility: Each SOP addresses one specific workflow or task
  2. Deterministic: Same inputs produce same outputs
  3. Actionable: Every step is concrete and executable
  4. Parameterized: Variables enable reuse across contexts
  5. Self-Contained: Minimal external dependencies

SOP vs. General Documentation

  • SOPs: Prescriptive workflows with specific steps
  • Documentation: Descriptive reference material
  • Guides: Educational content with explanations
