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 | $0.00091 | $0.01666 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00833 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00333 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00167 |
Grade A, and why
planning-capture 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Planning Capture
Build and maintain the capture plan — the living document that drives pre-RFP work to raise probability of win. A capture plan is not a report. It is an action system: its real output is a set of assigned, dated actions that change the team's position before the RFP releases. A capture plan with no actions, or actions with no owners and no dates, is decoration.
When to use this skill
Use this skill after a pursuit decision (see qualifying-opportunities) when
the opportunity will be actively pursued and the team needs to organize capture
work: understanding the customer, shaping the requirement, closing intelligence
gaps, securing teaming partners, and tracking it all to gate reviews.
Re-run it throughout the capture phase to update the plan as intelligence arrives and actions close.
Related skills this one does not replace:
analyzing-competitors: the deep Black Hat competitive assessment. The capture plan summarizes and links to it.estimating-price-to-win: the price-to-win analysis.developing-win-strategy: the win themes and discriminators. The capture plan references the win strategy; it does not derive it.
This skill is the hub; those three are spokes. The capture plan integrates them.
Inputs
Preferred upstream artifacts:
00-opportunity-profile.mdand01-bid-decision.md— the opportunity facts and the pursuit rationale. Read them first; do not re-ask what they answer.03-competitive-assessment.md,04-price-to-win.md,05-win-strategy.md— if they exist, summarize and link them. If they do not, the capture plan records them as planned capture actions.
Without them, run the intake below to establish the opportunity facts, then build the plan, flagging the missing analyses as actions to commission.
Read ../../shared/glossary.md, ../../shared/proposal-lifecycle.md, and
../../shared/pursuit-workspace.md if not already read this session.
Intake
Ask these as a numbered list. Skip what upstream artifacts already answer.
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.

planning-capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielkinneyspears/federal-proposal-skills (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 1,666 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.
