SAP Implementation Workflow

A step-by-step guide to implementing the Skill Adapter Protocol for any role and platform combination

SAP as a One-Button Workflow Unit: Job Mode in Action

The true power of SAP lies not in its individual phases, but in its ability to function as a unified, autonomous workflow unit designed for browser agents. Just like DeepSearch has internal phases (planning, searching, synthesizing) that users don't need to manage manually, SAP has Learn → Translate → Execute phases that run automatically when paired with browser automation capabilities. This documentation explains the complete breakdown of the workflow that happens behind the scenes.

Introducing Job Mode

Imagine a simple chat interface with a toggle for "Job Mode":

📎
Ask anything
💻 Job Mode
User:"I want to grow my social media account to 1000 users. You're my Social Media Manager, manage this account for me http://x.com/a16z"

How Job Mode Works

1
Single Trigger
User enables Job Mode: "Become a LinkedIn Sales SDR and start prospecting"
2
Autonomous Pipeline
System automatically learns, translates, and executes without manual handoffs
3
Immediate Results
Within 30 minutes: documented platform understanding + active AI agent

The Undeniable Proof

Before:Generic AI needing extensive setup
After:Role-specific AI operating autonomously
Evidence:SAP file + execution logs + results
SAP's Job Mode represents the next evolution: adaptive workflows that can learn and operate in any digital environment from a single prompt.

SAP's Job Mode represents the next evolution: adaptive agentic workflows that can learn and operate in any digital environment from a single prompt.

Phase 1: Learn Phase

Begin by having the AI agent passively observe the target platform to understand its interface, user flows, and available interactions.

1

Define Role and Context

Clearly specify the role (e.g., "Social Media Manager"), platform (e.g., "X/Twitter"), and the agent's goals and backstory.

Example:
Role: Social Media Growth Manager
Platform: X/Twitter (https://x.com)
Goals: Achieve sustainable growth through engagement
2

Systematic Platform Exploration

Navigate through key platform areas, documenting UI elements, affordances, and user flows without executing any actions.

Areas to Explore
  • • Home/main timeline
  • • Profile pages
  • • Search/explore sections
  • • Notifications
  • • Settings and preferences
Document For Each Area
  • • Key UI elements and buttons
  • • Available actions and flows
  • • Potential skill mappings
  • • Screenshots or descriptions
3

Generate Learn Phase Report

Compile observations into a structured markdown report with executive summary, detailed sections, and a skills mapping table.

Report Structure:
• Executive Summary
• Platform Area Sections
• Top 10 Skills Mapping Table
• Strategic Insights
Use Learn Template
Phase 2: Translate Phase

Transform the Learn phase observations into a complete, executable SAP markdown file that serves as the AI agent's Standard Operating Procedure.

1

Create YAML Header

Define metadata including name, platform, version, author, and role context.

---
name: "Twitter Growth Manager"
platform: "X/Twitter"
version: "1.0"
---
2

Define Skills

Create 10-12 structured skills based on the Learn phase mappings, each with YAML metadata and numbered execution steps.

Skill Components
  • • YAML metadata block
  • • Numbered execution steps
  • • UI element mappings
  • • Conditional logic
  • • Error handling
Example Skills
  • • trend_monitoring
  • • post_content
  • • engage_audience
  • • analyze_metrics
  • • schedule_posts
3

Build Role Orchestrator

Define workflow sequences, conditional logic, error handling, and success metrics for coordinating skills.

# Role Orchestrator
## Workflow Sequences
Daily: trend_monitoring → content_creation → audience_engagement
Use Translate Template
Phase 3: Execute Phase

Deploy the generated SAP file with persistent state tracking, task execution, and adaptive error recovery mechanisms.

1

Load and Parse SAP File

Initialize the agent with the generated SAP file, parsing skills, workflows, and configurations.

Initialization Checklist:
✓ Parse YAML metadata
✓ Load skill definitions
✓ Initialize workflow sequences
✓ Set up error handling
2

Execute Tasks with State Tracking

Run tasks according to workflow sequences while maintaining persistent checklists and performance monitoring.

Execution Features
  • • Task checklist management
  • • Real-time status updates
  • • Performance metrics tracking
  • • Error logging and recovery
Safety Measures
  • • Test mode for initial runs
  • • Retry limits and backoff
  • • Platform compliance checks
  • • User intervention points
3

Monitor and Adapt

Continuously monitor performance, handle errors gracefully, and provide detailed execution summaries for optimization.

Sample Checklist Output:
| Task | Status | Notes | Timestamp |
| trend_monitoring | DONE | 5 trends identified | 14:30 |
| content_creation | TODO | Pending approval | - |
Use Execute Template
Requires ongoing monitoring
Success Metrics & Optimization

Track these key indicators to measure SAP implementation success and identify optimization opportunities.

Learning Effectiveness

  • • UI element coverage (aim for 90%+)
  • • Skill mapping accuracy
  • • Platform area completeness
  • • Documentation quality score

Translation Quality

  • • Skill definition completeness
  • • Workflow sequence logic
  • • Error handling coverage
  • • YAML structure validity

Execution Performance

  • • Task completion rate (target 85%+)
  • • Error recovery success
  • • Platform compliance score
  • • User satisfaction metrics

Continuous Improvement

SAP is designed for iterative improvement. Regularly review execution logs, update skills based on platform changes, and refine workflows based on performance data. Consider re-running the Learn phase when platforms undergo major updates.
