Document a ProcessInstant download · license included · no subscription

Every team has knowledge trapped inside someone's head and inside long screen recordings nobody rewatches. This skill turns that video into a written standard operating procedure so anyone can follow the process the same way, the right way. Drop the Document a Process skill into your AI assistant, hand it a walkthrough or screen recording, and it transcribes the video, reads the whole thing, and writes a scannable SOP: what the process is for, the exact steps, the best practices to always follow, and the mistakes to never make. It is how to create an SOP without staring at a blank document, and it works for onboarding, client handoffs, internal operations, and any repeatable task you keep re-explaining.

What you gain
  • Stop re-explaining the same task: capture it once on video and get a reusable written SOP
  • Get a clean, structured document instead of a raw transcript nobody wants to read
  • Onboard faster: new hires follow a step-by-step procedure with best practices and clear do-nots
  • Keep the video and the written tutorial together so people can read in seconds or watch when they need to
  • Standardize how work gets done across your team, so the same process runs the same way every time
  • Save hours of manual writing: the skill drafts the SOP and you just review and tweak
How it works, step by step
  • 1
    Drop the skill into your AI assistant

    Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no API key to paste. Your assistant reads the file and knows how to run it.

  • 2
    Give it a video

    Hand over a screen recording or walkthrough of the task, or a transcript or link to one. If the recording has long pauses and dead air, the skill can tighten it first so the tutorial stays short and clear without cutting any spoken words.

  • 3
    It transcribes and reads the whole thing

    The skill converts the audio to text, then reads the entire transcript rather than just summarizing the first few lines, so it captures the real steps in the order they actually happen.

  • 4
    It asks before anything it needs

    If a step is ambiguous, a name is missing, or it needs to know the audience for the document, it asks you first instead of guessing, so the finished SOP matches how your team actually works.

  • 5
    It writes the SOP

    You get a structured document: a clear objective, a numbered step-by-step, a best-practices section (what to always do), and a what-never-to-do section, all in direct, scannable language.

  • 6
    You get the finished document

    Review it, tweak any wording, and share it. The written tutorial and the video can live side by side, so people can read it fast or watch the walkthrough when a step needs to be seen.

What it generates
  • A written standard operating procedure with objective, step-by-step, best practices, and what to avoid
  • A clean transcript of the walkthrough video
  • A scannable, share-ready tutorial document from any screen recording
  • An optional trimmed version of the video with dead air removed and every spoken word kept
  • Screenshot references pulled from the process so key steps are illustrated
Variations

Onboarding and training docs

Record how a role does its core tasks once, then generate a training SOP each new hire can follow without shadowing someone for a week.

Client and handoff documentation

Turn a walkthrough of a deliverable or account setup into a clean process document you can hand to a client or a teammate taking over.

Internal operations library

Build a consistent library of standard operating procedures from the videos your team already records, so every recurring task has one written source of truth.

FAQ
What does the Document a Process skill actually do?

It takes a video walkthrough or screen recording, transcribes it, reads the full transcript, and writes a structured standard operating procedure from it: the objective, a step-by-step, best practices, and what to never do. It turns a video into a written SOP you can share.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?

Yes. The skill is a SKILL.md file that works with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Any AI assistant that can read the file and open your video or its transcript can run it.

Do I need to install anything or use an API key?

No. There is no separate app to install, no subscription, and no API key to configure. You drop the SKILL.md into your assistant and hand it a video.

What kind of video works best?

A screen recording or walkthrough where you narrate the steps out loud works best, because the skill relies on the audio to understand the process. It reads the whole recording, not just the start, so longer walkthroughs are fine.

Do I need writing, design, or coding skills to use it?

No. You just record the task and give the video to your assistant. The skill drafts the SOP for you, and you only review and adjust the wording. No technical or design skills required.

Can it write more than one SOP or handle different formats?

Yes. You can use it for onboarding docs, client handoffs, and internal operations, and it produces the same clean structure each time so your documentation stays consistent across the team.

New to AI skills?

An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Document a Process is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.

It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, document a process asks you for it first instead of inventing.

Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.

How to install and run it
  1. Download the file after checkout you get the SKILL.md plus a short README and your license.
  2. Add it to your AI drop SKILL.md into your skills folder (for example .claude/skills/) or paste its contents as a custom instruction.
  3. Run it ask your AI to use Document a Process, give it what it asks for, and it does the work.
