What it does

The Procurement Gauntlet is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Simulate enterprise procurement and security review of your product before your first big deal meets it for real — the questionnaire, the gaps, the deal-slowing findings. Use when asked to prep for enterprise procurement, simulate a security review, why do enterprise deals stall, or get ready for vendor assessment. Produces the reviewer's findings memo (security, legal, compliance, vendor-risk), the stall-risk ranking, and a debrief with the artifacts to prepare before the real gauntlet.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Vendor and procurement management and Security review. 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 prep for enterprise procurement
  • Simulate a security review
  • Why do enterprise deals stall
  • Get ready for vendor assessment

Example prompts

  • “/the-procurement-gauntlet”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Security desk: SSO/SAML (its absence is the #1 mid-market deal-stall), encryption at rest/in transit, access controls and audit logs…
  2. Legal desk: liability caps vs their paper, data-processing terms, breach-notification windows (they'll want faster than yours says)…
  3. Compliance desk: data residency, retention/deletion on request, regulated-data handling if applicable — answered by the buyer's industry…
  4. Vendor-risk desk: the mortality questions — company viability, escrow/continuity, "what happens to our data if you shut down," insurance…

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

The Procurement Gauntlet loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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
Simulate enterprise procurement and security review of your product before your first big deal meets it for real — the questionnaire, the gaps, the deal-slowing findings. Use when asked to prep for enterprise procurement, simulate a security review, why do enterprise deals stall, or get ready for vendor assessment. Produces the reviewer's findings memo (security, legal, compliance, vendor-risk), the stall-risk ranking, and a debrief with the artifacts to prepare before the real gauntlet.

The Procurement Gauntlet Skill

The first enterprise deal doesn't die in the demo — it dies eleven weeks later in a vendor-risk spreadsheet. This skill runs the gauntlet early: security questionnaire, legal redlines, compliance checks, and procurement's favorite question ("what happens to our data when you die?") — producing the findings memo their team would write, so yours can prepare the artifacts before the clock is running on a real deal.

What This Skill Produces

  • The findings memo — security / legal / compliance / vendor-viability, graded as an enterprise reviewer grades
  • The stall-risk ranking — which findings add weeks, which add clauses, which kill
  • The debrief — the artifact checklist to build now, ordered by deals-unblocked-per-effort

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The product's honest posture: hosting/architecture, auth (SSO?), data handled (PII? whose?), certifications held or in progress, backup/DR reality, team size
  • The paper on hand — security page, DPA template, terms, subprocessor list, insurance
  • The target buyer — regulated industry? company size? geography (data-residency expectations)?
  • The skeletons — the honest gaps; the simulation is only as useful as this disclosure

Framework: The Four Desks

  1. Security desk: SSO/SAML (its absence is the #1 mid-market deal-stall), encryption at rest/in transit, access controls and audit logs, pen-test recency, incident-response plan, subprocessor inventory. Certifications are graded as they actually work: attestation reports open doors; "in progress" opens conversations with a date attached.
  2. Legal desk: liability caps vs their paper, data-processing terms, breach-notification windows (they'll want faster than yours says), IP/indemnity, and the audit-rights clause your template doesn't have.
  3. Compliance desk: data residency, retention/deletion on request, regulated-data handling if applicable — answered by the buyer's industry, not in the abstract.
  4. Vendor-risk desk: the mortality questions — company viability, escrow/continuity, "what happens to our data if you shut down," insurance certificates, references at similar scale. Grading: ✅ pass · 🟡 pass-with-clause (adds negotiation) · 🟠 stall (adds weeks + an artifact) · 🔴 gate (deal waits until fixed).

Output Format

Vendor Assessment: [product] — simulated for [buyer type]

Simulation — a plausible enterprise review, not a prediction or legal advice.

Findings

#DeskFindingGradeWhat it does to the deal

The Stall Forecast

[Realistic procurement timeline for this posture: n–n weeks, driven by findings #…]

Debrief — out of character

Artifact to buildUnblocksEffortOrder
[Typically: SSO, the security one-pager, subprocessor list, DPA template, IR plan summary, continuity statement]
The honest positioning line for sales: [how to state current posture without overclaiming — overclaiming discovered in review kills deals harder than gaps do]

Quality Checks

  • Every finding traces to the disclosed posture — gaps disclosed get graded, gaps invented don't exist
  • Grades carry deal consequences, not abstract severity
  • The artifact list is ordered by deals-unblocked-per-effort
  • Certifications-in-progress are treated as dated conversations, not passes or failures
  • The positioning line lets sales tell the truth survivably

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not grade against a Fortune-50 bar for an SMB product — calibrate to the stated buyer
  • Do not treat certification as binary salvation — many deals close on posture + roadmap + honesty
  • Do not let the simulation recommend overclaiming — review teams verify, and discovered overclaims are 🔴
  • Do not omit the mortality questions — vendor-viability stalls surprise founders most
  • Do not stay in character in the debrief

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Prep for enterprise procurement."
  • "Simulate a security review."
  • "Why do enterprise deals stall?"
  • "Get ready for vendor assessment."
