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.

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
- Start messy — You don't need a perfect description. Tell me how it works today and I'll structure it.
- Include the exceptions — "Usually we do X, but sometimes Y" is the most valuable part to document.
- Name the people — Even if roles change, knowing who does what today helps get the process right.
