carlvellotti Write Proposal
Write a project proposal based on the user's input (rough notes, a topic description, or a brief).
Process
- Read the proposal template at
.agents/skills/write-proposal/template.mdfor structure and required sections. - Check
.agents/skills/write-proposal/examples/for past proposals. Read any that are relevant to the current topic — similar domain, similar scope, or similar audience. Use them for tone and depth calibration, not as copy sources. - If the user's input is vague, ask 1-2 clarifying questions before drafting. When there are natural choices, present them as a lettered menu (A, B, C) so the user can answer with one letter. Don't ask if there's enough to work with.
- Draft the proposal following the template structure. Adapt section depth to the project scope — a small internal project doesn't need the same level of detail as a cross-team initiative.
Style
- Professional but not stiff. Write like a senior PM, not a consultant.
- Lead each section with the key point, then support it.
- Keep the executive summary under 4 sentences.
- Be specific about timelines, resources, and success metrics. Vague proposals don't get approved.
