Most teams don't have SOPs. They have Looms no one rewatches. They record a walk

Most teams don't have SOPs.
They have Looms no one rewatches.
They record a walkthrough.
They tell the team to watch it.
Half don't.
The other half watch once & forget.
Two weeks later you're back on a call walking through the same process.
Written SOPs work.
Videos don't scale.
But writing SOPs takes hours.
Now I record the video the way I always do, drop it into Claude Code, and run one skill.
3 minutes later I have a real SOP:
⤷ 1. Reads every frame to capture what I clicked.
⤷ 2. Transcribes the audio to capture why I clicked it.
⤷ 3. Fuses both into a step-by-step doc with prerequisites, edge cases, a "definition of done" checklist, and a "what NOT to do" section pulled from my own warnings in the video.
I just turned a 13-minute walkthrough into a written SOP in under 5 minutes.
No cleanup.
No rewriting.
No re-recording in a quiet room.
Your recordings are already SOPs.
You just haven't been extracting them.
Comment SOP and I'll DM you the Claude Code skill.
