Agency RFP Evidence & Addendum Skills

What goes wrong quietly

• A requirement reworded in the matrix, so it no longer matches what evaluators score against
• A “complies” with no proof behind it
• An insurance certificate that expired last spring
• “ISO 27001 certified” backed by a policy PDF and no certificate
• Addendum 2 changes “should” to “must” and nobody re-reads the matrix

The workflow

1. Extract: one matrix row per shall/must/should/may sentence, with section, page and obligation level; a person adds anything missed.
2. Bid/no-bid: score the template; a failed hard gate means no-bid, a blank score means incomplete.
3. Evidence: register proof files with an excerpt copied word for word, then link them in the matrix.
4. Lint: exits 1 while any error remains.
5. Addendum: flags affected rows and adds new requirements; lint stays red until a person clears each flag.

Lint codes

13 errors and 6 warnings, including: requirement paraphrased instead of quoted (E001), “complies” with no evidence (E003), excerpt not in its file (E005), evidence expired (E006), certification claimed with no certificate (E008), changed by an addendum and not re-reviewed (E010), absolute claims like “guarantee” or “100%” (W104), certificate with no expiry (W105).

Worked examples (all fictional)

• City website redesign: the draft matrix trips 8 errors and 7 warnings on purpose; the addendum moves the due date and adds requirements; the final matrix lints clean
• Nonprofit CRM automation: revised-document mode, should→must, a new data-retention section
• University chatbot pilot: the addendum makes SOC 2 Type II mandatory, so bid/no-bid flips from bid to no-bid

What it is not

UNSUPPORTED means no proof attached. It never means non-compliant. It does not write your proposal, judge whether you actually comply, or read scanned PDFs (no OCR). English RFPs only; extraction is a draft.

Requirements

Python 3.9+, standard library only, no network, no model calls. Skills are plain SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. For PDFs, convert with pdftotext first. 18 tests.

Format and license

Zip, 42 KB, v1.0. Use in your own and client projects (one buyer: a person, or one company and its employees); no resale or giving the files away. Full terms in LICENSE.md.

FAQ

Does it write my proposal?

No. It checks traceability and tells your agent what's missing.

PDF RFPs?

Convert with pdftotext first (free). The tool reads its page breaks. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.

Does it use AI or send my RFP anywhere?

The CLI is offline and makes no model calls. The skills run in your own agent.

Will it help us win?

Nobody can promise that. It stops avoidable mistakes.

How do I get the files?

Right after payment, Stripe’s confirmation page shows your download link.

Refunds?

Email hello@youraitools.co within 14 days if it doesn’t work and we can’t fix it.

Can I pay with crypto?

Yes. Pay the same price in USDC or USDT on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon or Solana from the "Pay with crypto" button, with no account or KYC. We check the payment on-chain and show your download links as soon as it confirms.
