skill-sop-creator

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Design a multi-step automated workflow that chains multiple Agent Skills
• Create a repeatable Standard Operating Procedure for a business process
• Search for available atomic skills to compose into a workflow
• Validate that a proposed SOP has all required skill dependencies

Guide for creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and composite workflows by combining atomic Agent Skills. This skill transforms loose collections of tools into reliable, repeatable business processes.

Parameters

Actions

1. Search Atomic Skills

Finds available atomic skills to include in your SOP.

• Command: skill-sop-creator(action="search_skills", context="pdf processing")
• Output: List of relevant atomic skills (e.g., pdf-split, pdf-merge, ocr-extract) that can be steps in your SOP.

2. Draft SOP Structure

Generates a draft SKILL.md for a composite skill (SOP) based on a business goal.

• Command: skill-sop-creator(action="draft_sop", context="Daily Competitor Analysis Report")
• Output: A structured markdown template defining the workflow steps, required atomic skills, and decision logic.

3. Validate SOP

Checks if a proposed SOP structure is valid and if referenced skills exist.

• Command: skill-sop-creator(action="validate_sop", context="<sop_content>")
• Behavior: Verifies that steps are logical and dependencies are met.

SOP Design Principles

1. Atomic Foundation: SOPs should rely on small, single-purpose skills (e.g., pencil-draw-rect not draw-entire-ui).
2. Deterministic Flow: Define clear steps: Step 1 -> Step 2 -> Decision -> Step 3.
3. Human-in-the-loop: Include checkpoints where the Agent should ask for user confirmation.

Example SOP Structure

# Daily Competitor Analysis SOP

## 1. Information Gathering
- **Skill**: `web-search`
- **Action**: Search for "competitor name" + "news"
- **Output**: List of URLs

## 2. Content Extraction
- **Skill**: `web-scraper`
- **Input**: URLs from Step 1
- **Output**: Raw text

## 3. Analysis
- **Skill**: `llm-summarize`
- **Input**: Raw text
- **Prompt**: "Identify key pricing changes and feature launches."

## 4. Reporting
- **Skill**: `pdf-generator`
- **Input**: Summary
- **Output**: PDF Report

Notes

• An SOP is essentially a "Composite Skill" that acts as a conductor for other "Atomic Skills".
• This skill helps you design that conductor.
