03 — Protocols (SOPs)
If you do it more than once, it should be documented here.
What Lives Here
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for any recurring process in your life. The goal: write a process once, perfectly, and never have to think about how to do it again — whether you’re doing it or your AI is.
- Weekly review process
- Monthly finance audit
- How to onboard a new AI agent
- Content creation workflow
- Home maintenance checklists
- Any process you run on a schedule or that others need to follow
SOP Template
Use _codex/templates/sop.md for every file in this folder:
---
title: "SOP: {Process Name}"
type: sop
tags: [type/sop, domain/ui]
ai_summary: "SOP for {process} — runs {frequency}, takes ~{time}"
---Zeus’s Core SOPs (Example)
| SOP | Frequency | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Review | Every Sunday | 30 min |
| Monthly Finance Audit | 1st of month | 45 min |
| Inbox Processing | Daily | 15 min |
| AI Agent Check-in | Daily | 10 min |
| Quarterly Planning | Every 12 weeks | 2 hours |
Why This Matters
The magic of documented SOPs: when your AI agent knows your processes, it can run them with you — or for you. My weekly review is so documented that Legacy can pre-fill 80% of the template before I sit down.
