Workflow

1. Gather Requirements

Ask the user to provide:

• Target audience: Who will use this document?
• Scope: What processes/activities does it cover?
• Specific steps: What are the actual procedures (if known)?
• Roles: Who is responsible, who approves, who confirms?

Example prompt: "Please tell me: (1) document purpose, (2) target users, (3) process overview, (4) any specific steps"

2. Load Guidelines

CRITICAL: Before creating any document, read the complete guidelines:

references/business-document-guidelines.md

These guidelines define:

• Required document sections (7 mandatory headings)
• Writing style and formatting rules
• Responsibility assignment (RACI matrix)
• Version control and approval flow
• Template structure

3. Create Document

Follow the standard structure from guidelines:

Mandatory sections (7 required headings):

1. 目的 (Purpose): Why this document exists
2. 適用範囲 (Scope): Who/what it applies to
3. 責任と役割 (Responsibilities and Roles): RACI matrix
4. 手順・ルール (Procedures/Rules): Step-by-step instructions
5. 例外・注意点 (Exceptions/Cautions): Edge cases and important notes
6. 関連ドキュメント (Related Documents): References and links
7. 改訂履歴 (Revision History): Change log with dates

4. Format and Polish

Apply formatting standards:

• Hierarchical numbering (1 → 1.1 → 1.1.1)
• Definitive language (avoid "できれば", "なるべく")
• Date format: YYYY/MM/DD
• Tables and checklists for clarity
• Numbered lists for sequential steps

5. Save Document

Save the completed manual to the user's specified location or suggest:

operation-manuals/{category}/{document-name}.md
