## Instructions

Create a Standard Operating Procedure:

1. **Gather info** — Ask about the process or extract from description:
   - What is the process?
   - Who performs it?
   - How often?
   - What tools are needed?

2. **Structure the SOP**:
   - **Title & purpose** — What this SOP covers and why
   - **Scope** — Who this applies to
   - **Prerequisites** — Tools, access, knowledge needed
   - **Steps** — Numbered, specific, actionable
   - **Decision points** — If/then branches clearly marked
   - **Troubleshooting** — Common issues and solutions
   - **Review schedule** — When to update this SOP

3. **Save** — Write to `knowledge/sop-TITLE.md` or user-specified location.

## Rules

- Each step should be a single action.
- Use "you" language (direct instruction).
- Include expected outcomes for verification steps.
- Flag steps that require elevated access or approvals.
