name: skill-sop-creator
description: "Creates Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by combining atomic Agent Skills into multi-step composite workflows with decision logic and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Supports searching available skills, drafting SOP structures, and validating dependencies. Use when the user wants to design automated business workflows, chain multiple skills into a repeatable process, or create composite skill orchestrations."

# 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

| Name     | Type   | Required | Description |
|----------|--------|----------|-------------|
| action   | string | true     | The action to perform. One of `search_skills`, `draft_sop`, `validate_sop`. |
| context  | string | false    | Context for the action (e.g. business goal for drafting, search query for searching). |

## 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

```markdown
# 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.
