What it does

Sop Writer is an agent skill from aiskilloftheweek/claude-ai-skill-of-the-week. Transforms any process description — however rough, incomplete, or disorganized — into a clear, delegatable Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Use this skill every time the user wants to document a process, create a procedure for a team member or VA, build an operations manual, standardize a workflow, or says things like "write an SOP for this", "help me document this process", "I need to delegate this", "create a procedure for my VA", "turn this into a checklist someone else can follow", "document how I do X"…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Operations and SOPs. The repository describes itself as: Curating the greatest Claude Skills that actually change how you work.

When your agent uses it

  • This skill when the goal is to make a process repeatable and delegatable — even if the user phrases it casually
  • Tasks that involve Operations and SOPs

Example prompts

  • “write an SOP for this”
  • “help me document this process”
  • “I need to delegate this”
  • “/sop-writer”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the SOP type
  2. Elicitation logic
  3. Determine output format
  4. Write the SOP
  5. Final output check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3b155c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sop Writer loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 187 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~187
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,141 words (~2,613 tokens).

“Turns any process description — bullet points, voice transcripts, half-explained workflows, or detailed outlines — into a structured, delegatable Standard Operating Procedure.”
