govcon-growth-workflow

govcon-growth-workflow is a skill for Codex from 1102tools-dev/federal-contracting-skills. It costs 115 tokens per session (4,475 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for federal contracting, also called GovCon, where companies find and compete for government work. It covers opportunities, bids, competitors, incumbents, teaming partners, agencies, customers, markets, labor rates, and pricing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find and screen federal opportunities, study recompete pipelines and competitors, research agencies or partners, review government spending, and prepare a documented growth brief.
Why use it?
It organises public-sector research around traceable evidence and the relevant government data sources. It also makes clear that findings support decisions but do not replace legal, contracts, pricing, security, or leadership judgment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

govcon-growth-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/build_growth_brief.py, scripts/validate_growth_brief.py, scripts/validate_research_record.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GovCon Growth Workflow

Purpose

Help federal contractors discover, qualify, understand, and pursue public-sector business using traceable evidence. Quick results remain in chat. Complete runs may produce a validated, route-specific .docx growth product.

Full workflows use SAM.gov, USASpending, and optional GSA CALC+ MCP servers, approved web access, and Python 3. Web research may use the optional Tavily remote MCP, the host's native search capabilities, or both. Tavily is never the sole supported path. DOCX briefs require python-docx and LibreOffice or an equivalent renderer. SAM is required only for SAM-specific modes; CALC+ is required only for pricing context.

This skill informs company decisions. It does not replace company leadership, legal, contracts, pricing, security, or compliance judgment.

Startup data-access readiness

On every new invocation, first call the sam-gov server's get_access_status operation. This presence-only status call is the only MCP call permitted before the menu and must not make an upstream request or reveal a credential value.

For missing_required, show this block immediately before the menu:

Data access readiness
- SAM.gov: SAM_API_KEY is not configured. It is required for live opportunities, entities, registrations, exclusions, certifications, awards, hierarchy, and subaward work. Keyless USASpending and approved web routes remain available.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

If get_access_status is absent, show this block instead:

Data access readiness
- SAM.gov: Readiness could not be checked because get_access_status is missing. The SAM.gov MCP package or shared 1102tools host profile is outdated or incomplete. Update the installation, restart the client, and try again.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

For configured_unverified, do not claim that the key is valid and do not add a warning. Never display, request, or transmit the credential value.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
