shredding-solicitations is a skill for Claude Code from danielkinneyspears/federal-proposal-skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (1,757 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A document-analysis skill that breaks down a US federal solicitation—a government request for proposals, information, or quotes—into a requirements and compliance matrix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract required statements, map instructions and evaluation factors, and prepare the requirements inventory before outlining or writing a federal proposal.
Why use it?
It helps proposal teams find every requirement, including requested content and evaluation rules, so important items are less likely to be missed.

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

shredding-solicitations 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 — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shredding Solicitations

Take a federal solicitation apart, requirement by requirement, and build the compliance matrix — the table that maps every requirement to the proposal location that answers it. The compliance matrix is the spine of a compliant proposal. Every later proposal skill works against it. A requirement that is not in the matrix is a requirement the proposal will miss, and a missed material requirement is a deficiency.

When to use this skill

Use this skill as the first proposal-development step after the RFP releases (or on a draft RFP, to get a head start). It precedes outlining, drafting, and every volume-specific skill.

It does not build the proposal outline — that is outlining-proposals, which consumes this matrix. This skill produces the requirements inventory; the outline turns it into a document structure.

Inputs

Required: the solicitation itself — at minimum Sections L, M, and C (or the SOW/PWS/SOO and the instructions/evaluation equivalents). Place the document in the pursuit workspace source/ directory. Include all amendments and the Q&A.

Preferred upstream artifacts:

  • 00-opportunity-profile.md: orienting context.
  • 05-win-strategy.md: lets the matrix flag where themes will be threaded.

Without the win strategy, the matrix is still complete; it simply omits the theme-placement column.

Read ../../shared/federal-solicitation-primer.md, ../../shared/glossary.md, and ../../shared/pursuit-workspace.md if not already read this session. The primer's "proposal triad" guidance governs this skill.

Intake

Ask these as a numbered list. Skip what the solicitation itself answers.

  1. The document set. Is the full solicitation available — Sections L and M, the SOW/PWS/SOO, Section H, attachments, all amendments, and the Q&A? What is missing?
  2. Document structure. Does the solicitation use the standard Uniform Contract Format, or a compressed task-order/commercial format? Where are the instructions, the evaluation factors, and the requirement located?
  3. Volumes. Does Section L define the proposal volumes and their separation (e.g., Technical, Management, Past Performance, Cost)? What are they?
  4. Amendments. Have all amendments been incorporated? Did any amendment change Section L, Section M, the requirement, or the due date?
  5. Win strategy. Is there a 05-win-strategy.md to cross-reference for theme placement?

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.
