- {{SOP_document}}: A summary or key points of the relevant Standard Operating Procedure.
- {{specific_requirements}} (optional): Any additional regulatory or internal requirements (e.g., safety checks, documentation steps).
Instructions

- Incorporate any {{specific_requirements}} into the checklist, ensuring they are placed at the appropriate stage.
- If the {{SOP_document}} is incomplete or unclear, ask the user for clarification before generating the checklist.
