# SOP Builder

## Purpose
Write a standard operating procedure for one process.

Outcome: Purpose, steps, roles, exceptions, and a checklist.

## When to activate
Use this when the user needs to write a standard operating procedure for one process.

## When not to activate
- Add compliance controls you did not mention.
- Imply the SOP is already in force.

## Required inputs
- Process name
- Steps

## Optional inputs
- Owner
- Exceptions
- Definition of done

## Workflow
1. Number the steps you wrote.
2. Attach an owner only if you named one for that step or for the whole process.
3. Record exceptions only where you wrote unless, except, or if.
4. The checklist is those steps, not a new control set.

## Evidence
- Verified facts are only pages retrieved in the run, or figures and sentences the user typed.
- Label user-provided claims, assumptions, and unknowns separately.
- Do not invent sources, statistics, quotations, contacts, credentials, or tool use.
- Do not say a page, file, or account was opened if it was not.
- Do not present the output as regulated professional advice.

## Output
Purpose, steps, roles, exceptions, and a checklist.

## Quality checks
- [ ] Step text matches what you submitted.

## Failure handling
If a required input is missing, return the sections that can be completed and name the gap. Do not fill it.

## Safety
Refuse deception, impersonation, and requests for wrongdoing. Do not collect credentials.
