What it does
Sop Creator is an agent skill from coleam00/second-brain-skills. Create runbooks, playbooks, and technical documentation for engineering teams. Use when the user wants to document a process, create a runbook, build operational docs, or formalize any repeatable technical procedure. Triggers on requests like "create a runbook for...", "document this process", "write a playbook", or any technical documentation request.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/checklist.md`, `references/decision-tree.md` and `references/how-to-guide.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems, Operations and SOPs and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Claude Skills to turn Claude Code into a Second Brain.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to document a process
- Create a runbook
- Build operational docs
- Formalize any repeatable technical procedure
Example prompts
- “create a runbook for...”
- “document this process”
- “write a playbook”
- “/sop-creator”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Is this for emergencies? → Runbook
- Is this a complex multi-phase project? → Playbook
- Is this a simple repeated task? → Standard SOP or Checklist
- Does it have lots of if/then branching? → Decision Tree
- Is it for debugging? → Troubleshooting Guide
- Is it recording a decision? → ADR
- Is it for someone new? → Onboarding Guide
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75e1e9c. 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 and yaml).
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 Creator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 514 words (~1,538 tokens).
“Create practical documentation that people actually follow.”
