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 | $0.00108 | $0.01757 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00054 | $0.00879 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00351 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00176 |
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.
- 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?
- 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?
- Volumes. Does Section L define the proposal volumes and their separation (e.g., Technical, Management, Past Performance, Cost)? What are they?
- Amendments. Have all amendments been incorporated? Did any amendment change Section L, Section M, the requirement, or the due date?
- Win strategy. Is there a
05-win-strategy.mdto cross-reference for theme placement?
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.

shredding-solicitations is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielkinneyspears/federal-proposal-skills (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 1,757 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.
