Does this skill help with error handling?

Absolutely. It provides patterns for conditional logic and error handling to ensure AI agents know what to do when a step in the process fails.

What is the primary benefit of using the SOP Authoring skill?

It transforms vague instructions into deterministic, repeatable workflows that ensure AI agents produce consistent results across different contexts.

Why is active voice important for SOPs?

Active voice and the imperative mood reduce ambiguity, making it clear exactly what action the AI agent needs to perform at each stage.

Can I use parameters in my SOPs?

Yes, this skill encourages using variables like repository paths or test frameworks to make your procedures reusable across multiple projects.

How does this differ from regular documentation?

Regular documentation is descriptive and informative, while SOPs are prescriptive, focusing on specific actionable steps and success criteria for execution.

Learning & Documentation

Enables the creation of high-quality, deterministic Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) tailored for AI agent execution.

About

This skill provides Claude Code with the structural knowledge and linguistic principles required to author effective Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). It focuses on transforming complex, ambiguous workflows into repeatable, actionable instructions using parameters, clear success criteria, and deterministic logic. By applying these standards, developers can ensure that AI agents behave consistently across different environments and tasks, reducing hallucinations and improving the reliability of automated processes within the codebase.

Key Features

Defines explicit success criteria and validation steps for deterministic outcomes
Differentiates between descriptive documentation and prescriptive SOPs
Enforces the use of active voice and imperative mood for instruction clarity
Converts complex workflows into actionable, sequential steps
Implements parameterized variables for reusable procedure design
39 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Standardizing code review processes across a development team
Automating comprehensive codebase documentation and architectural mapping
Creating repeatable TDD (Test-Driven Development) workflows for AI agents
