What it does

Find Matching Tenders is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Find open AU/NZ government tenders matching what a company does, ranked by fit with why and gap analysis. Use when the user asks to find tenders, bid opportunities, government contracts, or RFPs for their business (or a client's).

Its SKILL.md is about 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: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to find tenders
  • Bid opportunities
  • Government contracts
  • RFPs for their business (or a clients)

Example prompts

  • “/find-matching-tenders”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get the company profile. Ask for the company's website URL. If the user provides a description instead, skip resolution and use their…
  2. Resolve the company (optional but improves matching)
  3. Search open tenders (free, no key)
  4. Rank against the company (optional, uses free weekly allowance)
  5. Check data provenance if results seem thin (free)
  6. Report honestly. Match scores are fit signals, not win probabilities. Present gaps[] as "prepare evidence for this", not disqualification.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • stipple.sh

    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

Find Matching Tenders loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

Find Matching Tenders

Search live AU/NZ government tenders, rank them against what a company actually does (read from its website), and explain why each opportunity is relevant — including the capability gaps to prepare evidence for. Tender search is free forever on the Stipple API; no API key or signup needed.

When to use

  • Business development: "find tenders we could bid on"
  • Market research: "what government work is out there for cybersecurity firms in NSW?"
  • Bid pipeline maintenance: "check for new construction tenders this week"

Instructions

  1. Get the company profile. Ask for the company's website URL. If the user provides a description instead, skip resolution and use their description directly as capability context.

  2. Resolve the company (optional but improves matching):

    bash
    curl -X POST https://www.stipple.sh/v1/companies/resolve \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"query": "https://your-company.com"}'

    Returns the company's registered name, ABN, jurisdiction, and status.

  3. Search open tenders (free, no key):

    bash
    curl "https://www.stipple.sh/v1/tenders?q=construction&jurisdiction=AU&limit=10"

    Filters: q (keyword), jurisdiction (AU, AU-NSW, AU-VIC, NZ, ...), limit, offset.

  4. Rank against the company (optional, uses free weekly allowance):

    bash
    curl -X POST https://www.stipple.sh/v1/tenders/match \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"url": "https://your-company.com", "jurisdiction": "AU", "limit": 5}'

    Returns ranked matches with why[] (why it fits) and gaps[] (capability evidence to prepare).

  5. Check data provenance if results seem thin (free):

    bash
    curl "https://www.stipple.sh/v1/tenders/sources"

    Shows which government feeds are indexed and their freshness — explains why a search can be empty.

  6. Report honestly. Match scores are fit signals, not win probabilities. Present gaps[] as "prepare evidence for this", not disqualification.

Output format

    gap:    no evidence found for 'ICT security assessment'

Limitations and Safety

  • The hosted service receives the search terms and, for matching, the supplied company URL or description. Obtain approval before sending private capability or client information and do not include secrets or non-public bid strategy.
  • Feed coverage and freshness can be incomplete. Confirm eligibility, scope, amendments, deadlines, and submission instructions on the issuing authority's primary tender page before investing time or submitting a bid.
  • Match scores and gap analysis are triage signals, not procurement advice, an eligibility ruling, or a probability of winning.

Notes

  • Tender search and source listing are free forever — no key, no credits
  • Matching costs a small number of credits on the free weekly allowance
  • For ongoing monitoring, pair with a cron job that re-runs step 3 daily and diffs results
  • Data sources: NZ GETS, NSW eTendering, VendorPanel, and other government feeds
