To evaluate grant funding opportunities, this Skill identifies live funding calls, deduplicates entries by funder and cycle, applies strict eligibility checks, and maps funder expectations to your offerings. It then produces a comprehensive opportunity brief with a go, watch, or discard recommendation.

Screening grant eligibility involves applying strict eligibility checks against live funding calls and profiling funder expectations against your offerings. The Skill generates a fit rationale and risk assessment, outputting a clear go, watch, or discard recommendation to decide whether to pursue the call.

To prepare kickoff notes and proposal artifacts, the Skill generates handoff artifacts and kickoff notes immediately after an organization approves a go recommendation. It also seeds a grant-opportunity record in GitHub when available, or persists results to your local workspace otherwise.

Yes, you can persist grant opportunity briefs directly to GitHub. When a GitHub connection is available, the Skill seeds a grant-opportunity record as a tracked issue, otherwise it saves the opportunity brief and kickoff notes to the conversation or local workspace.

Using an automated workflow for grant discovery prevents duplicate applications by deduplicating funding calls by funder, URL, and cycle. It applies strict eligibility screening across live opportunities and standardizes your evaluation process into a concise brief with clear next-step recommendations.

Without a GitHub repository, the limitation is that grant-opportunity records cannot be seeded as tracked issues. The Skill instead persists the opportunity brief, fit rationale, and kickoff notes directly to the conversation or local workspace, limiting external team handoff and tracking capabilities.
