SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Responding to RFPs, RFIs, tenders, and vendor questionnaires often leads to unsupported claims, lost traceability, and accidental over-commitment. This Skill converts supplied questions and approved source artifacts into a traceable internal-review draft where every claim cites registered evidence and gaps stay visible.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-stage workflow: Analyze questions into normalized records, contribute business or product evidence within ownership domains, then draft responses from reviewed claims.
  • Evidence traceability: Every claim links to a registered approved source with stable IDs, coverage metrics, and structural readiness checks persisted in a YAML evidence artifact.
  • Authority boundaries: Output is always an internal-review draft; the Skill refuses to mark anything approved, submitted, or released, and flags legal or commercial items for human decision.
  • Use Case: A sales engineer receives a 50-question security questionnaire. The Skill normalizes each question, maps answers to an approved PRD, drafts qualified responses, and lists unresolved items needing legal review.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to analyze the attached RFP question set using the approved product requirements document at docs/planning/prd.md and draft an internal-review response.

Frequently Asked Questions about proposal-response

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft an RFP response from an approved requirements document?▼

Supply the RFP question set and name the approved artifact path, such as a BRD or PRD. The Skill reads and registers the source, normalizes questions, and drafts responses only from reviewed claims, keeping qualifications and unresolved items visible.

How do I answer a vendor questionnaire without inventing unsupported claims?▼

Run the analyze operation to normalize questions, then contribute evidence only from user-approved sources. Questions lacking approved evidence get an unsupported claim and an unresolved item instead of a fabricated answer.

Can this Skill approve or submit a proposal response externally?▼

No. Every output remains an internal_review_draft with external use denied and release_decision set to outside_skill_scope. Approval, authorization, submission, and release always require human owners outside the Skill.

What happens when a named source artifact path cannot be found?▼

The operation stops and returns a RESPONSE_EVIDENCE_ERROR_V1 payload naming the failed path, the validation error, and the smallest clearing action. It never registers, cites, or reconstructs an unreadable source from memory.

How are business and product contributions kept separate?▼

The contribute operation accepts a domain argument of business, product, or shared, and claims are only added or updated within that ownership domain. Drafting can render across domains but never edits claims outside the caller's domain.
