From the author

Document a business process — flowcharts, RACI, and SOPs. Use when formalizing a process that lives in someone's head, building a RACI to clarify who owns what, writing an SOP for a handoff or audit, or capturing the exceptions and edge cases of how work actually gets done.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The process-doc skill transforms informal knowledge about business workflows into structured, professional documentation. By guiding users through a discovery process, it captures essential operational details, including roles, responsibilities, step-by-step instructions, and edge-case handling. The output is a standardized SOP format that includes a RACI matrix, process flow, and performance metrics, ensuring that tribal knowledge is effectively codified for team alignment, audits, or handoffs.

What it does

  • Generates comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) from informal input.
  • Creates RACI matrices to define ownership and stakeholder involvement.
  • Maps out process flows using step-by-step descriptions or ASCII diagrams.
  • Identifies and documents exceptions and edge cases for robust process coverage.
  • Defines success metrics and measurement methods for the documented process.
  • Integrates with knowledge bases and project trackers to update existing docs or create actionable tasks.

When to use it

  • When formalizing a process that currently exists only as tribal knowledge.
  • When you need to clarify roles and responsibilities within a team.
  • When preparing for an audit or a formal handoff of responsibilities.
  • When you need to capture how work is actually performed, including common exceptions.

Advantages

  • Reduces ambiguity by clearly assigning roles and responsibilities.
  • Standardizes documentation across the organization.
  • Captures critical edge cases that are often missed in informal descriptions.
  • Facilitates easier onboarding and process improvement initiatives.
  • Provides a clear framework for measuring process success.

Usage examples

“Document our monthly client billing process.”
The agent will ask clarifying questions about the billing steps, stakeholders, and common issues, then generate a full SOP including a RACI matrix and metrics table.
“Create an SOP for how we handle urgent bug reports from customers.”
The agent will structure the workflow for triaging and resolving urgent bugs, identifying who is responsible for each stage and how to handle exceptions like out-of-hours reports.

How It Works

Walk me through the process — describe it, paste existing docs, or just tell me the name and I'll ask the right questions. I'll produce a complete SOP.

Output

## Process Document: [Process Name]
**Owner:** [Person/Team] | **Last Updated:** [Date] | **Review Cadence:** [Quarterly/Annually]

### Purpose
[Why this process exists and what it accomplishes]

### Scope
[What's included and excluded]

### RACI Matrix
| Step | Responsible | Accountable | Consulted | Informed |
|------|------------|-------------|-----------|----------|
| [Step] | [Who does it] | [Who owns it] | [Who to ask] | [Who to tell] |

### Process Flow
[ASCII flowchart or step-by-step description]

### Detailed Steps

#### Step 1: [Name]
- **Who**: [Role]
- **When**: [Trigger or timing]
- **How**: [Detailed instructions]
- **Output**: [What this step produces]

#### Step 2: [Name]
[Same format]

### Exceptions and Edge Cases
| Scenario | What to Do |
|----------|-----------|
| [Exception] | [How to handle it] |

### Metrics
| Metric | Target | How to Measure |
|--------|--------|----------------|
| [Metric] | [Target] | [Method] |

If Connectors Available

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

  • Search for existing process documentation to update rather than duplicate

  • Publish the completed SOP to your wiki

If ~~project tracker is connected:

  • Link the process to related projects and workflows

  • Create tasks for process improvement action items

Tips

  1. Start messy — You don't need a perfect description. Tell me how it works today and I'll structure it.

  2. Include the exceptions — "Usually we do X, but sometimes Y" is the most valuable part to document.

  3. Name the people — Even if roles change, knowing who does what today helps get the process right.
