What it is

SOP Manager helps Claude or ChatGPT find the approved version, create a review-ready draft when something is missing, and keep your Notion library current.

Who it’s for

Founders and operations leads whose team keeps processes in Notion and still depends on someone knowing which document is current

What it helps you do

Gives Claude or ChatGPT one reliable way to find approved SOPs, prepare new drafts, and show you what needs review.

Why it’s useful

Your team should be able to find the right process without depending on one person to remember which page to trust.

What you’ll get

  • SOP Manager v0.6.4
  • The Notion workspace template it uses
  • A setup guide for Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, or Codex
The SOP Your Team Needs Is Somewhere in Notion

The SOP you need is somewhere in Notion. There are three versions, one is approved, and nobody is completely sure which one the team should use.

I built SOP Manager for that moment.

It gives Claude or ChatGPT one place to find approved SOPs, create new drafts, check what is out of date, and show you what needs review. It uses the official Notion connection available in each product.

The important rule is simple: the assistant can help with the library, but it cannot approve its own work.

What you can ask it to do

  • Find the approved SOP for a process.
  • Turn a transcript, recording, or set of notes into an SOP draft.
  • Check which SOPs are missing, incomplete, or due for review.
  • Show you the review queue in the order that needs attention.
  • Record a request when the SOP someone needs does not exist.

New SOPs stay in draft until a person reviews them. SOP Manager cannot approve, publish, overwrite, update, or delete an SOP.

What the package contains

The current release is version 0.6.4. The Gumroad download includes the Claude Cowork plugin, the ChatGPT skill ZIP, the setup guide, and the public Notion template link.

Gumroad collects your email address before the download starts.

The package contains instructions only. It does not contain a Notion token, private database ID, client information, or workspace content.

Install it in Claude Cowork

  1. Get SOP Manager on Gumroad(opens in a new tab) and download the Starter Kit.
  2. Open Claude Desktop and select Cowork.
  3. Open Customize, then Plugins, and upload the plugin from the Starter Kit.
  4. In Customize, open Connectors and connect the Notion workspace you want to use.
  5. Duplicate the SOP Manager Notion template(opens in a new tab) into that same workspace.
  6. Start a new Cowork task and say: Set up SOP Manager.

Claude will find the SOP Manager Home page, follow its links to SOP Library and SOP Requests, and report any missing or incompatible fields. Setup doesn't change either database.

Install it in ChatGPT

  1. Get SOP Manager on Gumroad(opens in a new tab) and download the Starter Kit.
  2. In ChatGPT, open Plugins, then Skills.
  3. Upload the ChatGPT skill ZIP from the Starter Kit.
  4. Connect the official Notion app and duplicate the same Notion template(opens in a new tab).
  5. Start a new chat and say: Set up SOP Manager.

Skill upload availability depends on your ChatGPT plan, workspace settings, role, and product surface. If you do not see the upload control, this install path is not available in your current ChatGPT environment.

You can inspect the complete package in the public SOP Manager repository(opens in a new tab).

Use it in Codex

Codex uses the same Agent Skill from the public SOP Manager repository(opens in a new tab). Copy its skills/sop-manager folder into your Codex skills directory, then start a new task.

Try the first read-only check

After setup, ask:

Audit my SOP library without changing anything.

You should get the records checked, the issues found, and the next items for a person to review. The audit should not change the library.
