Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00105 | $0.01447 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00724 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00289 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
outlining-proposals 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 11d ago.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Outlining Proposals
Turn the compliance matrix into a proposal structure: a Section L-compliant annotated outline and a storyboard for each section. This is the planning step that proposal teams most often skip and most often regret. Drafting straight from a requirements list produces a compliant document with no strategy. Outlining and storyboarding first means every section has a defined job — its requirements, its evaluation factors, its theme, its proof — before anyone writes a paragraph.
When to use this skill
Use this skill after shredding-solicitations has produced the compliance
matrix and before drafting-proposal-sections. The outline is what the Pink
Team reviews, so it must exist before any serious drafting.
It does not write narrative — that is drafting-proposal-sections. It produces
the plan that drafting executes.
Inputs
Required: 10-compliance-matrix.md — the outline is built from it.
Preferred upstream artifacts:
05-win-strategy.md: the win themes and proof points to assign to sections.- The solicitation Section L — the authoritative structure and page limits.
Without the win strategy, the outline is structurally complete but cannot
assign themes; flag every section's theme slot as "to be assigned" and recommend
running developing-win-strategy.
Read ../../shared/glossary.md and ../../shared/pursuit-workspace.md if not
already read this session.
Intake
Ask these as a numbered list. Skip what the matrix and solicitation answer.
- Volumes and structure. What volumes does Section L require, and does it prescribe the section order and headings within each? (The outline must match Section L exactly; Section L wins over any default structure.)
- Page limits. What is the page limit per volume, and what counts against it? This drives the page budget.
- Win themes. Is
05-win-strategy.mdavailable with themes and proof points to assign? - Authors. Are section authors known, so the outline can assign ownership?
- Graphics intent. Does the team have an action-caption and graphics convention, or should the outline simply propose graphic concepts per section?
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

outlining-proposals is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielkinneyspears/federal-proposal-skills (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,447 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
