Proposal Library Indexer

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Indexing a proposal library from case studies and past proposals
• Re-indexing the inbox after adding or changing source documents
• Validating the library for orphaned or unindexed files

Example prompts

• “Index the proposal library from the new documents in the inbox.”
• “Force a re-index of all case studies and report anything unindexed.”
• “Validate the library and list orphans and stale manifest entries.”

Requirements

• Python
• A library/inbox folder of source documents

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Load config from {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml and config.user.yaml — resolve library_inbox_folder and memory root…
2. 2Read {memory-root}/index.md for orientation.
3. 3If library/inbox/ is missing, create it and print guidance on what to drop in.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 547a6df. 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

  Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • pawbytes.io

  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 Library Indexer loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 650 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~59

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.9k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Ingests case studies, past proposals, and boilerplate from library/inbox into structured indexes. Use when the user requests to 'index proposal library', 're-index case studies', 'ingest inbox docs', or 'validate library'.
