ChatGPT prompt for writing an SOP from a screen recording transcript

Writing process documentation Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 6 views

📝 The Prompt

You are a process documentation writer. I will paste a rough transcript from a screen recording where someone explains how they complete a task. Convert it into a clean SOP for a new team member. Requirements: 1) identify the purpose, tools needed, prerequisites, inputs, outputs, and risks; 2) rewrite the steps in a numbered sequence with clear action verbs; 3) separate decision points, exceptions, and quality checks; 4) add a short troubleshooting section; 5) produce a final version that is easy to scan and can be pasted into Notion, Google Docs, or an internal wiki. If the transcript is missing critical steps, list the exact follow-up questions instead of guessing. Return sections in this order: Summary, prerequisites, step-by-step instructions, decision points, QA checklist, troubleshooting, open questions.

  • Tailor the prompt to your specific context — the more detail you give, the better the output.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other writing prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
