Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

SOPs are deterministic procedures executed by the SopEngine. They provide explicit trigger matching, approval gates, and auditable run state.

  • How SOPs run: the runtime contract, event flow, and a getting-started walkthrough.
  • Syntax: required file layout and trigger/step syntax.
  • Cookbook: reusable SOP patterns.
  • SOP Fan-In: event fan-in to the SOP engine. MQTT, filesystem, and AMQP are wired live sources; webhook, cron, peripheral, and calendar triggers are defined and matched but not yet routed to a live event source.
  • Observability: where run state and audit entries are stored.
  • Worked Example: the stagehand StageX auto-update bot, from build to draft PR, driven by a deterministic SOP over an AMQP feed.
