Prompt of the DayWrite a first-draft process doc (SOP) from how you do it

You do something well and need to document it so others can too.

Turn my description into a clean step-by-step process document (SOP) someone new could follow. Include: purpose, when to use it, numbered steps, tools needed, common mistakes to avoid, and a definition of 'done.' Ask me about any step that seems incomplete.

How I do it:
[describe the process]

For anything complex, break the ask into steps: outline first, then draft section by section. Big single asks produce shallow results; staged asks go deep.

Don't Do ThisDon't conclude the tool is useless after one bad answer

Most "AI is overhyped" verdicts come from a single thin prompt on a task the person never specified properly. The tool was never told what good looked like.

Instead: Before you write it off, run the same task once more with a role, the real source material, and an example of the output you want. Judge it on the second attempt.
