Q: How do I install process-doc?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill process-doc in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/process-doc/ (personal) or .claude/skills/process-doc/ (project).

Document a business process — flowcharts, RACI, and SOPs. Use when formalizing a process that lives in someone's head, building a RACI to clarify who owns what, writing an SOP for a handoff or audit, or capturing the exceptions and edge cases of how work actually gets done.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill process-doc

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads process-doc automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Document a business process as a complete standard operating procedure (SOP).

Usage

/process-doc $ARGUMENTS

How It Works

Walk me through the process — describe it, paste existing docs, or just tell me the name and I'll ask the right questions. I'll produce a complete SOP.

Tips

Start messy — You don't need a perfect description. Tell me how it works today and I'll structure it.
Include the exceptions — "Usually we do X, but sometimes Y" is the most valuable part to document.
Name the people — Even if roles change, knowing who does what today helps get the process right.
