The procedure that survives you not being in the room.
The tool that interrogates how you actually do a task, finds the steps you've stopped noticing you're doing, and turns it into a procedure someone who's never done it could actually follow.
The gap between how an expert does a task and how they describe doing it is usually large, and invisible to the expert. They skip steps that have become automatic and describe the happy path while silently handling exceptions from muscle memory.
A procedure built from a five-minute verbal explanation inherits all of these gaps. This tool interrogates the task the way an outsider would, until what's left is something a new hire could actually run.
The procedure, minus the gaps.
Same task, same five-minute description, run two ways.
An agency owner has been processing new client onboarding personally for two years and needs to hand it to an operations coordinator.
You ask Claude to write up your process from a quick description. It produces a clean, three-step summary: set up the folder, send the welcome email, book the kickoff.
It reads fine and a new hire following it exactly would still get it wrong, because "set up the folder" was actually six specific sub-steps you do automatically and never mentioned.
It unpacks the steps you skipped because they'd become automatic:
- →"Set up their folder" becomes five specific actions, including a manual name-spelling check learned the hard way
- →A decision branch for Enterprise versus Standard tier, previously undocumented
- →The one recurring exception, a CRM mismatch, and exactly what to do about it
The finished SOP includes a completion checklist specific enough that someone could verify the task was done right without asking you, which was the actual point of writing it down.
The cold version summarized what you do. This documented what you actually do.
- ✦Operators delegating a task they've been doing themselves
- ✦Managers onboarding a new hire onto a recurring process
- ✦Anyone documenting a process before going on leave

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude summarizes your quick verbal description into a clean-looking but incomplete procedure, because it can't see the steps you skipped without knowing to ask about them. This interrogates each step specifically, finds the judgment calls and exceptions you left out, and produces a procedure a genuine outsider could follow.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.
Can I share this with my team?

SOP Writer is a documentation tool. It produces a first draft procedure; test it by having someone unfamiliar with the task actually follow it before treating it as final.
