Write a clear Request for Proposal that gets comparable, high-quality vendor bids.

  • Asked to write an RFP
  • SKILL.md covers Working from a brief, Required Inputs, Output Format and Quality Checks, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • A request for proposal/quote/tender

What it does

Rfp Writer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a clear Request for Proposal that gets comparable, high-quality vendor bids. Use when asked to write an RFP, a request for proposal/quote/tender, or to solicit and compare vendor proposals. Produces a complete RFP — background, scope of work, requirements, evaluation criteria with weights, submission instructions, and timeline — structured so responses are easy to compare apples-to-apples.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 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 an RFP
  • A request for proposal/quote/tender
  • Solicit and compare vendor proposals

Example prompts

  • “/rfp-writer”

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

Rfp Writer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 clear Request for Proposal that gets comparable, high-quality vendor bids. Use when asked to write an RFP, a request for proposal/quote/tender, or to solicit and compare vendor proposals. Produces a complete RFP — background, scope of work, requirements, evaluation criteria with weights, submission instructions, and timeline — structured so responses are easy to compare apples-to-apples.

RFP Writer Skill

A good RFP gets you proposals you can actually compare; a vague one gets a pile of incomparable sales decks. The trick is to specify the problem and the evaluation criteria clearly enough that vendors answer the same questions the same way. This skill writes that RFP — scoped, requirement-driven, and weighted — so selection is a defensible comparison, not a gut call.

Working from a brief

Given "we need an RFP for a new CRM", produce the full RFP anyway — infer a sensible scope, requirements, and evaluation weights for that category, label assumptions, and bracket org-specifics (budget, dates, contacts) to fill in. Never withhold for missing detail.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label):

  • What you're buying — the product/service/project and the problem it solves.
  • Scope — what's in and explicitly out, deliverables, and any integration/constraints.
  • Requirements — must-haves vs. nice-to-haves (functional, technical, security, compliance).
  • Evaluation priorities — what matters most (price, capability, support, security, timeline) for weighting.
  • Logistics — budget range (if shared), timeline, submission format, and contact.

Output Format

Request for Proposal: [project]
  • 1. Introduction & background — who you are, the problem, and the goal of this RFP.
  • 2. Scope of work — deliverables, what's in/out of scope, and success criteria.
  • 3. Requirements — organised, and split into mandatory and desirable (so non-compliant bids screen out fast).
  • 4. Vendor questions — the specific questions every vendor must answer (capability, approach, team, security, references, pricing model) — phrased so answers are comparable.
  • 5. Evaluation criteria — the weighted scoring model:
CriterionWeightWhat we're assessing
Capability / fit35%meets mandatory + desirable requirements
Price / TCO25%total cost over the term, not just licence
Support & SLAs15%onboarding, support, uptime
Security & compliance15%data handling, certifications
References / track record10%proven delivery for similar orgs
  • 6. Submission instructions — format, page/section limits, what to include, and how/where to submit.
  • 7. Timeline — issue date, questions deadline, submission deadline, evaluation, decision, and start.
  • 8. Terms — confidentiality, that the RFP isn't a commitment, and how questions are handled.
Show full SKILL.md (170 more words)Show less

Quality Checks

  • Requirements are split into mandatory vs. desirable so bids can be screened and scored
  • Evaluation criteria are explicit and weighted before responses arrive (not reverse-engineered to a favourite)
  • Vendor questions are phrased to produce comparable, apples-to-apples answers
  • Scope states what's explicitly out, not just what's in
  • Submission format and limits are specified so responses are easy to evaluate
  • A clear timeline with a questions window and deadlines is included

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not leave evaluation criteria unstated — undefined scoring invites bias and disputes
  • Do not write open-ended questions that produce incomparable marketing answers
  • Do not blur must-haves and nice-to-haves — vendors (and evaluators) can't prioritise
  • Do not omit out-of-scope — scope creep starts in a vague RFP
  • Do not set the weights after seeing the bids — decide what matters up front

Based On

Procurement practice — requirement-driven scoping, weighted evaluation criteria set in advance, and structured questions for comparable bids.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an RFP."
  • "Write a request for quotes."
  • "Write a tender for this project."
  • "Solicit and compare vendor proposals."
