What proposal-writer does

This skill provides a systematic approach to writing pitch documents using modular guidance stored in rules/. It outlines core sections ranging from executive summaries for leadership to project milestones and contractual conditions. Customer outcomes remain the primary narrative driver.

It relies on the CLOSE model to guide readers through current circumstances, financial drains, desired milestones, proposed fixes, and tangible proof. Pricing layouts rely on two or three packages presented beside an explicit return-on-investment anchor. Showing costs before outlining business returns risks stalling the negotiation.

The guidelines cover formats from single-page overviews to formal bids spanning up to fifteen pages, as well as post-agreement scope definitions.

What it helps with

  • outline a multi-tier pricing proposal tied to business returns
  • draft an executive summary for C-level executives
  • formulate a statement of work with deliverables and deadlines
  • organize a formal RFP response following compliance guidelines

Example prompts for the agent

  • Draft a one-page executive summary for our enterprise analytics proposal
  • Create a three-tier pricing table that anchors the ROI before listing costs
  • Generate an SOW structure with timeline milestones and risk assumptions
