What it does
Proposal Writer is an agent skill from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. Write a structured client or internal proposal from a brief. Covers problem, solution, timeline, investment, and next steps. Use when the user needs to send a proposal, pitch a project, or document a plan for approval.
Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user needs to send a proposal
- Pitch a project
- Document a plan for approval
Example prompts
- “/proposal-writer”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- "Briefly describe what you're proposing and to whom."
- "What problem does this solve for the recipient?"
- "What's the rough scope, cost, and timeline?"
- "What's the desired outcome — approval, a meeting, a signature?"
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172c531. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Proposal Writer loads about 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- proposal-writer
- description
- Write a structured client or internal proposal from a brief. Covers problem, solution, timeline, investment, and next steps. Use when the user needs to send a proposal, pitch a project, or document a plan for approval.
Ask the user:
- "Briefly describe what you're proposing and to whom."
- "What problem does this solve for the recipient?"
- "What's the rough scope, cost, and timeline?"
- "What's the desired outcome — approval, a meeting, a signature?"
Then produce:
Proposal: [Title]
Prepared for: [Client / Team / Stakeholder] Date: [Today] Prepared by: [User's name if given]
The problem we're solving
2–3 sentences on the specific challenge the recipient faces. Use their language, not yours. Make them feel understood before you pitch anything.
Our proposed solution
What you're proposing, in plain language. What it is, what it does, and how it specifically addresses the problem above.
How it works
3–5 steps or phases. Enough detail to be credible, not so much that it becomes a spec document.
| Phase | What happens | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| [1] | [description] | [e.g. Week 1–2] |
Investment
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| [component] | $[X] |
| Total | $[Y] |
Include what's in scope and — critically — what's out of scope.
Why us / why now
One short paragraph. What makes you the right choice, and why acting now matters.
Next steps
Three concrete steps with owners and dates. Make the first step easy to say yes to.
Tone: confident, not salesy. Proposals that sound like brochures don't get signed.
