What it does
`Procedure Ops` installs the `sop-build` skill into Claude Code. The skill drafts a procedure from an interview, a screen-recording transcript or an existing draft. It asks what exactly is done and for whom, rejects fuzzy verbs such as "review the form", and requires one named owner and an escalation channel. Each step passes a three-question filter: is the trigger deterministic, are input and output known, is judgment needed. A step that passes is flagged as an automation candidate for Zapier, Make, n8n or a managed agent. Before writing the file a built-in checklist catches missing videos on UI-heavy steps, undefined jargon and dangling conditions.
Who it is for. Founders, agency operators and team leads who hand work to an assistant and want the procedure to work the first time.
Good fit when
- A process lives in the owner's head and must become a procedure for an assistant
- A screen-recording transcript needs to become a step-by-step SOP
- An old draft must be checked for fuzzy verbs and gaps in escalation
- You want to see which steps to automate and which to keep with a human
Not a fit when
- You need a legally binding document or an ISO standard
- The process does not exist yet and there is nothing to describe
- You need working automation, not a written procedure
Example request
Write an SOP for handling an incoming request from my description, name an owner and escalation channel and flag steps for automation.Limitations
The skill targets Claude Code and writes only procedure text: it builds no automation itself and merely names the next skill (`/seed:tasks:ideate` for scoping and `/paul:plan` for building), which this repository does not ship. Output quality depends on interview answers: with empty input it argues instead of guessing. Zapier, Make and n8n recommendations are advisory and do not check your plans or integrations. The README advertises the author's paid program.
How to disable. Delete the `~/.claude/skills/sop-build/` folder. Procedures you created live where you saved them and are removed separately.
FAQ
How do I install it?
Run `npx procedure-ops install` and the skill lands in `~/.claude/skills/sop-build/`. `npx procedure-ops@latest update` upgrades it.
What does it build an SOP from?
From an interview with you, a screen-recording transcript or an existing draft. For UI-heavy steps it reminds you to add a video.
What is the three-question filter?
A step is checked for a deterministic trigger, known input and output, and whether judgment is needed. If the first two are yes and the third is no, the step is flagged for automation.
Does it build the automation?
No, it writes the procedure and names a tool such as Zapier, Make or n8n. Building happens in other skills.
Can I install it globally?
Yes: `npm install -g procedure-ops`, then `procedure-ops install`.
