At a glance

Create a new SOP-style skill as skills/<name/SKILL.md with kind: sop frontmatter and structured Parameters/Steps sections.

  • Works in 5 steps: Gather requirements → Define the skill contract → Draft SOP skill content → …
  • Tasks that involve Operations and SOPs
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Parameters, Steps and Output, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create Sop is an agent skill from mikeyobrien/rho. Create a new SOP-style skill as skills/<name/SKILL.md with kind: sop frontmatter and structured Parameters/Steps sections.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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: An AI agent that stays running, remembers across sessions, and checks in on its own. macOS, Linux, Android. Built on Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Operations and SOPs

Example prompts

  • “/create-sop”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather requirements
  2. Define the skill contract
  3. Draft SOP skill content
  4. Write the artifact
  5. Validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 073a3ee. 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 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

Create Sop loads about 622 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~622

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.

Create SOP Skill

Overview

Create a new workflow skill where SOPs are implemented as skills.

Canonical artifact:

  • skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

A valid SOP skill must include:

  • YAML frontmatter with name, description, and kind: sop
  • ## Parameters
  • ## Steps

Parameters

  • sop_topic (required): What the SOP skill should do
  • skill_name (optional): Kebab-case skill name. If omitted, generate from topic.
  • output_dir (optional, default: skills): Parent directory for the skill
  • include_examples (optional, default: true): Include ## Examples
  • include_troubleshooting (optional, default: true): Include ## Troubleshooting

Steps

1. Gather requirements

Constraints:

  • You MUST ask for all required inputs up front.
  • You MUST clarify intended outcomes, required tools, and failure boundaries.
  • You MUST identify what must be interactive vs autonomous.
2. Define the skill contract

Constraints:

  • You MUST create/confirm a kebab-case skill_name.
  • You MUST define parameters in a machine-readable bullet format.
  • You MUST separate required vs optional params and defaults.
3. Draft SOP skill content

Constraints:

  • You MUST generate frontmatter:
yaml
---
name: <skill_name>
description: <one-line purpose>
kind: sop
---
  • You MUST include these sections in order:
    1. # <Title>
    2. ## Overview
    3. ## Parameters
    4. ## Steps
  • You MUST use RFC-2119 constraints (MUST, SHOULD, MAY).
  • You MUST include explicit negative constraints with reasons when relevant.
4. Write the artifact

Constraints:

  • You MUST write to: {output_dir}/{skill_name}/SKILL.md
  • You MUST create parent directories when missing.
  • You MUST use the skill artifact convention only: skills/<skill_name>/SKILL.md.
5. Validate

Constraints:

  • You MUST verify frontmatter includes kind: sop.
  • You MUST verify ## Parameters and ## Steps are present.
  • You SHOULD suggest running via: /skill run {skill_name}.

Output

When done, report:

  • Created path
  • Parameter list
  • Short execution example

Example

Input:

  • sop_topic: "Automated code review with lint/test gates"
  • skill_name: code-review

Output path:

  • skills/code-review/SKILL.md

Run with:

  • /skill run code-review
