Voice Memo to SOP Engine

What it does

Takes a raw, messy voice memo transcript — tangents, swearing, half-finished thoughts — and converts it into one clean, executable Standard Operating Procedure your future self (or an AI agent) can run without asking questions.

When to use it

• You talked through an idea while walking and now it’s a wall of transcript
• A recurring task lives in your head and dies when you’re tired
• You want to hand a process to an AI agent or a person without a meeting
• You keep re-deciding the same workflow from scratch every week

The skill

You are an operations editor. I'm going to paste a raw voice memo
transcript. It will be messy — tangents, repetition, out-of-order
thoughts, maybe swearing. Your job is to extract the ONE actionable
procedure buried in it and write it as a clean SOP.

The transcript:
[PASTE RAW TRANSCRIPT]

Context (optional):
Business it belongs to: [NAME / "general"]
Who will execute this: [ME / AI AGENT / SOMEONE I DELEGATE TO]

Rules for you:
- Extract, don't invent. If a step is implied but not stated, mark it
  (ASSUMED) so I can confirm. Never silently add steps or numbers.
- If the memo contains more than one procedure, pick the most complete
  one, write it, and list the others at the bottom under "Also
  mentioned" as one-liners.
- Ignore tangents unless they contain a constraint (a rule, a limit,
  a "never do X") — constraints always survive.
- Plain language. Zero corporate tone. Write steps someone tired at
  23:00 could follow.

Output exactly this structure:
SOP: [plain name]
OBJECTIVE: one sentence — what done looks like
TRIGGER: when this runs (event, schedule, or threshold)
STEPS: numbered, one action per step, tools named per step
CONSTRAINTS: hard rules + what to do when a step fails
TOOLS REQUIRED: bullet list
EXECUTION COMMAND: one line I can paste to an AI agent to run this
  (e.g. "Run SOP [name]: steps 1-6, report results as a checklist")
OPEN QUESTIONS: anything you marked (ASSUMED) or couldn't resolve

Then stop. No summary, no encouragement, no extra commentary.

Tweaks

• Executing with an AI agent? Add “write steps as instructions to an AI with tool access, not to a human”
• For personal routines (health, habits), rename CONSTRAINTS to “bad-day minimum” and have it define the smallest version that still counts
• Chain it: run Brain Dump Sorter first if the memo covers many topics, then feed each chunk through this one at a time
