What it does

Sop Writer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for any operational task. Use when asked to write an SOP, standard operating procedure, work instruction, or operating manual. Produces a formal SOP with purpose, scope, procedure steps, quality checks, and version control.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write an SOP
  • Standard operating procedure
  • Work instruction
  • Operating manual

Example prompts

  • “/sop-writer”

Workflow steps

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.

    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 844 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~844

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.

Required Inputs

  • SOP title (e.g. "SOP-001: New Client Onboarding")
  • Department / function
  • Process description
  • Regulatory or quality standard (ISO 9001, GMP, CQC, FCA, etc.)
  • Roles involved

Quality Checks

  • All steps written in imperative form ("Open...", "Navigate...", "Confirm...")
  • Each step has exactly one action
  • Role specified for every step
  • Quality checkpoints at critical stages
  • Non-conformance process defines who to notify and how to document
  • Document history table and review date are included

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an SOP for [process]"
  • "Create a standard operating procedure for [task]"
  • "Write a work instruction for [process]"

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write steps that contain more than one action — each step must be a single, auditable action in imperative form
  • Do not omit a role from any step — every action must be assigned to a specific role or the SOP cannot be enforced
  • Do not skip the non-conformance section — an SOP without a deviation process cannot meet audit or regulatory requirements
  • Do not produce an SOP without a review date and version history — undated documents cannot be relied upon for compliance
  • Do not use passive voice in procedure steps — write "Open the system" not "The system should be opened"
