What this skill does
Cowork RFP Response Respond to an RFP the way a seasoned proposal manager does: decompose every requirement first, decide bid/no-bid honestly, reuse the best prior language, and never claim a capability the source documents do not support. Inputs: the RFP document and a folder of company material (past proposals, case studies, bios, certifications, pricing sheets). Workflow 1. Shred the RFP. Extract every numbered and implied requirement into a matrix: ID, requirement text (verbatim), type (mandatory/scored/informational), section owner, and any disqualifier ("must have X certification", "minimum N years"). Extract the logistics separately: due date, format, page limits, submission method, Q&A deadline, evaluation criteria and weights. 2. Bid/no-bid check. Before drafting anything, report disqualifiers you cannot document from the company folder and requirements with weak evidence. Ask whether to proceed. This is the most valuable five minutes of the skill. 3. Mine the folder. For each requirement, find the strongest supporting material: prior proposal sections, case studies with named results, team bios, certifications. Record source file and section in the matrix. Mark each requirement STRONG (direct evidence), PARTIAL (adjacent evidence, needs framing), or GAP (nothing found). 4. Draft. Write the response following the RFP's mandated structure exactly. For STRONG items, adapt the best prior language to this client's context. For PARTIAL, draft honest framing and flag it for review. For GAP, insert a clearly marked [GAP: needs input -- suggested approach] block rather than fiction. 5. Compliance pass. Verify every mandatory requirement is addressed where the RFP says it must be, page/format limits hold, and required attachments are listed. Output compliance-matrix.md (the full matrix with response locations) and rfp-response-draft.md. 6. Executive summary last. …
