## 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"
