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

proposal-writer 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 6d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 376 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proposal Writer

Formal proposal for high-ticket engagements ($1K+ typical). Different from a cold email or a one-pager: a proposal is the document the prospect reads when they're deciding to invest. Wrong proposal format = stalled deals at the Proposal Sent stage.

The skill produces a branded markdown or HTML proposal that pulls the user's pricing rules (locked in CLAUDE.md), the engagement scope (from the discovery call), and the user's voice. It outputs in two formats: editable markdown (for review) and PDF-ready HTML (for sending).

This is NOT a generic SaaS proposal template. It's shaped for solo coaching, consulting, services, and other high-trust offers. For SaaS pricing pages, use copywriting skill instead.

When this skill triggers

  • "Write a proposal for [prospect]"
  • "Draft proposal for [name]"
  • "Send [prospect] a proposal"
  • "Proposal for flagship engagement with [name]"
  • "Build a SOW for [project]"
  • "Scope of work for [client]"
  • "Write up the engagement for [prospect]"
  • "I need a proposal by [day]"

NOT for: ongoing client deliverables (use a different skill), marketing copy (use copywriting), email pitches (use outreach-drafter), one-pagers (use copywriting).

Pre-flight (run before drafting)

Check 1: Discovery call already happened

The proposal is built on the discovery. If no discovery call has happened, refuse to draft and route to:

  • discovery-call-prep to prep the discovery
  • outreach-drafter to schedule the discovery

A proposal without discovery = generic pitch document. Will not close.

Check 2: Pricing rules loaded

Read pricing from CLAUDE.md. Critical: NEVER deviate from the locked offer pricing without explicit user confirmation. If user asks to draft proposal at a different price than the locked rate, flag:

"Locked Foundation price is $X,XXX. You're asking me to draft at $1,800. Confirm this is intentional, AND explain the scope adjustment so the proposal reads coherently."

Check 3: Scope is specific

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.
