About this skill

Audit a standard operating procedure against current tools, responsibilities, controls, forms, approvals, and observed practice. The skill distinguishes documented process, claimed practice, and verified evidence, then proposes safe corrections without inventing how work is performed.

What it does

It maps procedure steps to current evidence, flags stale instructions and broken ownership, identifies control gaps, and produces an update and revalidation plan.

What is included

  • SOP structure review
  • Step-to-evidence matrix
  • Current-practice comparison
  • Tool and ownership drift
  • Control and approval gaps
  • Obsolete or ambiguous instructions
  • Risk-ranked findings
  • Revision recommendations
  • Revalidation plan
  • Change log template

How to use it

1. Download the sop-drift-and-evidence-auditor-SKILL.md file
2. Upload it to Claude, ChatGPT, or your documentation workspace
3. Provide the SOP, current tools, owner interviews, evidence, and known process changes
4. Do not include credentials or unnecessary sensitive records
5. Have process owners validate every correction before publication

Examples

Example input
Audit our customer-refund SOP against the current help desk, payment provider, approval rules, and actual team workflow. The document was last updated 18 months ago.
Example output
A step-to-evidence matrix, outdated instructions, missing controls, ownership gaps, ambiguous exceptions, prioritized corrections, revalidation tests, and a versioned update plan.

FAQ

Can this skill prove how a team actually works?
No. It compares supplied evidence and labels unverified claims or missing observation clearly.
What evidence is useful?
Current screenshots, forms, system fields, logs, policies, owner interviews, sample records, and approved process maps.
Does it rewrite the whole SOP?
It can propose a revision, but only after identifying confirmed drift and required owner decisions.
Can it audit controls and approvals?
Yes. It maps where approvals, evidence, separation of duties, or exception handling are missing or outdated.
How should high-risk procedures be handled?
They should receive qualified domain, legal, security, safety, or compliance review before release.
How is this different from proofreading?
Proofreading improves language; this skill tests whether the procedure still matches reality, evidence, ownership, and controls.
