What it does

Use when asked to write a proposal, sales proposal, commercial proposal, statement of work, or quote document.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a proposal
  • Commercial proposal
  • Statement of work

Example prompts

  • “/proposal-writer”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. [Sign / reply / schedule] by [date]
  2. We will send contract and confirm kickoff
  3. [Any immediate action]

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

Proposal Writer loads about 897 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~897

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 Skill

Writes commercial proposals that win business — structured around the prospect problem, not the product.

Required Inputs

  • Prospect company and contact
  • Their problem or goal (from discovery — be specific)
  • Your proposed solution
  • Commercial terms (pricing, payment terms, contract length)
  • Timeline
  • Key stakeholders who will read this
  • Tone (formal / conversational / technical)

Output Structure


Proposal: [Brief description of what you are solving]

Prepared for: [Contact, Title] | [Company] Prepared by: [Name] | [Your Company] Date: [Date] | Valid until: [Date]


Understanding Your Situation

[2-3 paragraphs. Demonstrate you listened. Describe their situation, problem, and impact of not solving it in their words. This section should make them think "yes, exactly." Generic boilerplate here = proposal goes in the bin.]

The key challenge: [One sentence — the core problem] The impact: [What this costs them] What you have tried: [Acknowledge prior attempts]


Our Proposed Approach

What we will do (3-5 deliverables or phases)

Phase 1: [Name] (Timeline: [Weeks 1-2]) [What happens, what is delivered, what customer input is needed]

Phase 2: [Name] (Timeline: [Weeks 3-6])

What you will get (outcomes, not features)

  • [Outcome 1]
  • [Outcome 2]

What success looks like [How both parties know this worked]


Why [Your Company]

[3-4 sentences. Specific to their situation. Reference similar customers. Generic "why us" sections are skipped.]


Investment
ItemDescriptionInvestment
[Component 1][Description]£[amount]
Total£[total]

Payment terms: [Terms] Included: [What is in] Not included: [What is out — prevents scope disputes]

Quality Checks

  • "Understanding Your Situation" reflects what was learned in discovery (not generic)
  • Outcomes are listed (not just deliverables or features)
  • "Not included" section is explicit to prevent scope disputes later
  • Next steps include a specific date and named action
  • "Valid until" date is included to create urgency

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not lead with the solution before establishing that the problem is understood — the proposal must demonstrate problem comprehension first
  • Do not use vague investment language like "competitive pricing" — every proposal must state a specific price or range
  • Do not omit a "not included" section — undefined scope leads to disputes after the proposal is accepted
  • Do not forget a "valid until" date — proposals without expiry create awkward situations and stale pricing
  • Do not list next steps without naming who is responsible for each and what the expected timeline is

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a proposal for [prospect] to [solve their problem]"
  • "Draft a statement of work for [project]"
  • "Turn my discovery notes into a proposal"
