New Proposal Drafting (Lightweight)

Overview

The new-proposal skill is now a streamlined playbook. It explains how to assemble a first-draft Sentient proposal using existing skills and source folders in this repository—no custom scripts or bundled assets required. Follow these instructions to move quickly from discovery to a shareable document while keeping messaging aligned with Sentient's positioning.

Quick Start

Run the latest customer-brief skill to capture discovery findings for the account.
Open the relevant product narrative in product-white-paper/ and flag the sections that map to the customer's needs.
Reference the tone and messaging guidance in sentient-brand-guideline to keep language on-brand.
Combine the above into a proposal outline using your preferred editor (Docs, Notion, Markdown). The sample outline in presentation-outline/ is a good starting point when you need structure.

Recommended Workflow

Validate inputs: Confirm you have the newest intake form, customer brief, and stakeholder list from the account team.
Draft the executive summary: Highlight customer objectives, Sentient's solution fit, and expected outcomes in 2–3 paragraphs.
Detail the solution: Use content from product-white-paper/ to explain architecture, differentiators, and implementation plan.
Showcase proof: Pull relevant success metrics from smartchat-service-costs/ or other collateral to reinforce value.
Outline next steps: Define timeline, owners, and required follow-up actions. Link to the work-day skill if the deliverable should live in the shared Workday folder.

Success Criteria

Proposal mirrors Sentient's structure (executive summary → solution overview → roadmap → next steps).
Messaging stays aligned with the brand guidelines and references approved differentiators.
Source documents are cited or linked so reviewers can verify claims quickly.
Output is saved using the <YYYYMMDD>-<CustomerName>-Proposal-R<Revision> naming convention.

Limitations & Notes

This lightweight skill intentionally omits automation scripts, bundled samples, and tests. It is documentation-only.
Teams that need repeatable generation or validation should add back scripts in a dedicated branch and update this guide.
Keep sensitive customer data out of the repository; store working drafts in approved collaboration tools.

Related Skills & Artifacts

customer-brief – Use to gather and refresh account discovery notes before drafting.
product-white-paper – Provides canonical product positioning and technical capabilities.
sentient-brand-guideline – Supplies tone, terminology, and styling cues for all outbound materials.
work-day – Automates saving final drafts to the shared Workday folder once ready for review.

Extending Later

If you decide to reintroduce automation:

Stand up generator scripts in scripts/ or a new automation/ folder.
Document new usage patterns here so others know how to run them.
Add tests under tests/ to cover the automated workflow.
