What it does

Sow Pws Builder is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Trigger for: writing, revising, converting, or descoping a federal Statement of Work, Performance Work Statement, SOW, PWS, or SOO; develop executable requirements; define contract scope; create measurable performance standards; or prepare requirements before an IGCE. Produce a contract-file-ready .docx plus separate chat-only staffing and Section B handoffs. Never place FTEs, SOC codes, staffing estimates, IGCE content, CLINs, or pricing schedules inside the SOW/PWS body. Do NOT use for the IGCE, market research…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/document-specification.md` and `references/handoff-specification.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Proposals and quotes, Word documents and Report writing. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Descoping a federal Statement of Work
  • Performance Work Statement
  • Develop executable requirements
  • Define contract scope

Example prompts

  • “/sow-pws-builder”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. SOO or source intake
  2. scope decision tree
  3. Decision Summary gate
  4. document assembly
  5. final validation and handoff

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sow Pws Builder loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,575 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,575 words (~3,072 tokens).

“Turn program-office scope decisions into a contract-file-ready .docx SOW or PWS. Produce three separate outputs:”
