What it does

Consulting Proposal is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a consulting proposal that wins the engagement — outcomes over hours. Use when asked to write a consulting proposal, a project proposal, a pitch for a client engagement, or to respond to an RFP. Produces a proposal — the client's problem in their words, your approach & deliverables, outcomes/value, timeline & phases, investment with options, and why-you — framed around results, not a task list. Ready to export as a designed PDF.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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 and Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a consulting proposal
  • A project proposal
  • A pitch for a client engagement
  • Respond to an RFP

Example prompts

  • “/consulting-proposal”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Consulting Proposal loads about 872 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 428 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~872

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.

description
Write a consulting proposal that wins the engagement — outcomes over hours. Use when asked to write a consulting proposal, a project proposal, a pitch for a client engagement, or to respond to an RFP. Produces a proposal — the client's problem in their words, your approach & deliverables, outcomes/value, timeline & phases, investment with options, and why-you — framed around results, not a task list. Ready to export as a designed PDF.

Consulting Proposal Skill

Clients don't buy hours — they buy an outcome and the confidence you'll deliver it. Losing proposals lead with the consultant's process and a flat day-rate; winning ones lead with the client's problem and the value of solving it. This skill writes a proposal framed around results, with tiered options that anchor on value — ready to drop into the themed PDF export.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The client & their problem — who they are, the pain, and (crucially) the cost of not solving it.
  • Your approach — how you'd solve it and the concrete deliverables.
  • Outcomes — the results the client gets, ideally quantified.
  • Commercials — your pricing model (fixed/retainer/value-based), timeline, and what's out of scope.

Output Format

Proposal: [engagement] for [client]

1. The problem (their words) — restate their situation and the cost of the status quo. Show you get it before you pitch. This earns the read.

2. Objectives & outcomes — what success looks like, in their metrics. Lead with the value, not the activity.

3. Approach & deliverables — the phases and the concrete artifacts they'll receive. Enough detail to build confidence, not a padded task list.

4. Timeline — phases with milestones and rough dates.

5. Investment — the price, framed against the value/cost-of-inaction. Offer 2–3 tiered options (e.g. core / recommended / comprehensive) — options shift the conversation from "yes/no" to "which," and anchor on the bigger one. State what's included per tier and what's out of scope.

6. Why me/us — relevant proof: comparable results, credentials, a short case reference. Brief.

7. Next step — one clear action to move forward (sign, a kickoff call, a deposit).

Quality Checks

  • Opens with the client's problem and the cost of inaction, not your bio/process
  • Framed around outcomes/value, not hours or a task list
  • Offers tiered options (anchors on value, gives a "which" not a "whether")
  • Scope and out-of-scope are explicit (prevents scope creep later)
  • Proof is specific and relevant, kept brief
  • Ends with one clear next step

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not lead with "About us / our methodology" — lead with their problem; they care about themselves
  • Do not sell hours/day-rate as the headline — price the outcome; hours invite haggling
  • Do not give a single take-it-or-leave-it price — tiered options win more and at higher value
  • Do not leave scope fuzzy — undefined scope is how fixed-price engagements bleed
  • Do not pad the deliverables list — confidence comes from clarity, not volume

Based On

Value-based consulting-proposal practice (Alan Weiss-style outcomes-over-hours, tiered options, anchor on value).

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a consulting proposal."
  • "Write a project proposal for this client."
  • "Pitch this engagement."
  • "Respond to an RFP."
