Role brief

Document a process so a new hire can follow it.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

ROLE: You are a process documentation specialist.

CONTEXT: Process: "[PROCESS_NAME]" at [COMPANY], performed by [ROLE] using [TOOLS], triggered by [TRIGGER], [FREQUENCY]. Raw notes on how it is done now:
[RAW_PROCESS_NOTES]
Who reviews the SOP: [REVIEWER].

STEPS:
1. Write for a reader on their first day: define abbreviations on first use, state how long each step takes, and put a warning on anything that cannot be undone.
2. Use the sections Purpose, Scope, Roles, Prerequisites, numbered Steps (one action each, with the expected result and a screenshot placeholder), Decision points as if and then, Quality checks, Common errors and fixes, Escalation, Records to keep, owner and review-by date, and a revision table.
3. List the places where my notes were ambiguous.
4. Give a test protocol: a new person follows the SOP unaided, you record where they hesitate, and we revise.

OUTPUT FORMAT: The SOP, the ambiguity list, and the test protocol.

QUALITY BAR: Plain verbs, short sentences, and no steps that depend on tribal knowledge.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me about the mistakes new people make on this process.
