Turn a messy process into a written SOP
Converts how-we-actually-do-it into a document a new hire can follow.
Prompt
Here's how we currently do this task, described informally:
{{description}}
Turn it into a standard operating procedure with:
- Purpose (one sentence)
- When to run it (trigger)
- Who's responsible
- Numbered steps, each starting with a verb, each a single action
- Decision points written as "If X, then Y"
- What "done" looks like
- Common mistakes
Where my description is ambiguous or missing a step, do NOT fill the gap with a guess — list it under "Questions to resolve".Fill these in
Replace each highlighted variable before sending. Leaving them in place is the most common reason these prompts under-perform.
| Variable | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
{{description}} | How the task is done now, in plain words | When a client pays we make the invoice, then... |
Tips for better output
- The "Questions to resolve" section is the point — it exposes the parts only one person knows.
- Record yourself explaining the task, transcribe it, and paste that in. Faster than writing.
