process-doc

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.

About process-doc

Capture how work actually gets done and formalize it as a complete standard operating procedure. Reach for it when a process lives only in someone's head, when a RACI is needed to clarify who owns what, when an SOP is required for a handoff or audit, or when the exceptions and edge cases of a workflow need documenting. The interaction is conversational, so you can describe the process, paste existing docs, or just give its name and let the skill ask the right questions, and messy starting material is expected and welcome.

The output is a structured SOP with a header carrying owner, last-updated date, and review cadence, followed by purpose, scope, a RACI matrix mapping each step to who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed, a process flow, detailed per-step breakdowns covering who, when, how, and output, exceptions and edge cases, metrics with targets and measurement methods, and related documents. The guidance highlights that the exceptions, the "usually we do X, but sometimes Y" cases, are the most valuable part to capture, and it encourages naming the people who do the work today even if roles later change.

Connectors extend the workflow. With a knowledge base connected the skill searches for existing process documentation so it updates rather than duplicates, and it can publish the finished SOP to a wiki. With a project tracker connected it links the process to related projects and workflows and can create tasks for process-improvement action items. The result is a durable, shareable reference that turns tribal knowledge into something a team can follow and audit.

FAQ

What does the finished document include?

A complete SOP with purpose, scope, a RACI matrix, a process flow, detailed steps, exceptions and edge cases, metrics with targets, and related documents, plus a header noting owner, last-updated date, and review cadence.

Do I need a polished description to start?

No. You are encouraged to start messy: describe how the process works today, paste existing docs, or just give the name, and the skill asks the right questions to structure it.

What is the RACI matrix for?

It maps each step to who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed, clarifying who owns what across the process.

What can it do if a knowledge base is connected?

It searches for existing process documentation to update rather than duplicate, and it can publish the completed SOP to your wiki.

Which part of a process is most important to document?

The exceptions and edge cases. The guidance calls the "usually we do X, but sometimes Y" details the most valuable part to capture.
