Claude 572b8acf8c Add multi-platform export generator (single source of truth)
Make the library multi-platform without duplicating content. Each
skills/<name>/SKILL.md body remains the single source of truth; a new
generator renders platform-ready exports from it.

- scripts/build-exports.mjs — dependency-free Node generator with a PLATFORMS
  registry so new platforms (Gemini, Cursor, …) are a few lines. Ships ChatGPT
  exports at exports/chatgpt/<bundle>/<skill>/SYSTEM_PROMPT.md (172 skills),
  plus generated index READMEs. Supports --platform and --check.
- exports/ — generated ChatGPT system prompts, ready to paste into a Custom GPT.
- .github/workflows/check-generated.yml — fails a PR if exports or
  web/skills.json drift from the source skills.
- README "Works With" now documents the ready-to-use exports and regen command.
- CHANGELOG + SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD note the generated artifacts.

SOP Writer Skill

Produces formal, audit-ready SOPs suitable for regulated industries, ISO certification, or operational scaling.

Required Inputs

  • SOP title (e.g. "SOP-001: New Client Onboarding")
  • Department / function
  • Process description
  • Regulatory or quality standard (ISO 9001, GMP, CQC, FCA, etc.)
  • Roles involved
  • Tools or equipment used

Output Structure


[COMPANY NAME] — Standard Operating Procedure

Document ID [SOP-XXX]
Title [Title]
Department [Department]
Version 1.0
Effective date [Date]
Review date [Date]
Status Draft / Under review / Approved

1. Purpose

[1-2 sentences. Why does this SOP exist?]

2. Scope

Applies to: [Roles, departments, locations] Does not apply to: [Explicit exclusions]

3. Definitions

Term Definition
[Term] [Plain English definition]

4. Responsibilities

Role Responsibility
[Role] [Specific responsibility]

5. Required Materials / Tools / Access

  • [Item]

6. Procedure

Step Action Responsible Record/Output
6.1.1 [Imperative action: "Open [system] and navigate to [location]"] [Role] [What to record]

NOTE: Steps must be written in imperative form. Each step must have one action only.

7. Quality Checks

Check point What to verify Pass criteria If fail
[After step X] [What to check] [What good looks like] [What to do]

8. Non-Conformance

  1. [Immediate action]
  2. [Who to notify]
  3. [How to document deviation]

9. References

[Related SOPs, policies, standards]

10. Document History

Version Date Author Changes
1.0 [Date] [Name] Initial release

Quality Checks

  • All steps written in imperative form ("Open...", "Navigate...", "Confirm...")
  • Each step has exactly one action
  • Role specified for every step
  • Quality checkpoints at critical stages
  • Non-conformance process defines who to notify and how to document
  • Document history table and review date are included

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an SOP for [process]"
  • "Create a standard operating procedure for [task]"
  • "Write a work instruction for [process]"

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write steps that contain more than one action — each step must be a single, auditable action in imperative form
  • Do not omit a role from any step — every action must be assigned to a specific role or the SOP cannot be enforced
  • Do not skip the non-conformance section — an SOP without a deviation process cannot meet audit or regulatory requirements
  • Do not produce an SOP without a review date and version history — undated documents cannot be relied upon for compliance
  • Do not use passive voice in procedure steps — write "Open the system" not "The system should be opened"
