Writing a client proposal from scratch every time is slow, and the result rarely looks consistent. This sales proposal generator is a single SKILL.md file you drop into your own AI assistant: tell it who the proposal is for and what you are pitching, and it drafts a complete business proposal in a professional proposal format, then exports it as a clean PDF ready to send. It recognises the type of deal (a one-off project or a recurring service), pulls in the client's real challenge, selects the right deliverables, and lays everything out on brand. Whether you need a service proposal, a retainer offer, or a full project scope, you get a persuasive, well-structured document without wrestling with templates or design tools.

What you gain
  • Go from a one-line brief to a finished, send-ready proposal in minutes instead of hours
  • Keep every proposal consistent and on brand with your own colours, logo, and voice
  • Cover seven proposal types (onboarding project, monthly retainer, paid ads, organic, CRM, consultancy, website) from one skill
  • Lead with the client's real challenge and the value you deliver, not generic filler
  • Export a polished PDF you can send as-is, plus an editable source you can tweak later
  • Set your own price, terms, and scope; the skill never invents numbers
How it works, step by step
  • 1
    Drop the skill into your assistant

    Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Nothing to install, no account to create, no API key to paste.

  • 2
    Give it the brief

    Tell it who the proposal is for and what you are pitching in plain language, for example a website project or a monthly retainer. Point it at any notes you have on the client's situation.

  • 3
    It picks the proposal type

    The skill reads your request and routes to the right format among the seven types. If the intent is genuinely unclear, it asks you which one before writing anything.

  • 4
    It drafts the full document

    It builds the current-situation section from the client's real pain points, selects the matching deliverables, lays out the timeline or work rhythm, and structures the investment section.

  • 5
    It asks before it needs anything from you

    Price, payment terms, and scope come from you, never guessed. If a detail is missing, it prompts you rather than filling in a number on its own.

  • 6
    You get the on-brand PDF

    It renders a premium PDF in your brand colours and logo (or a clean default), and keeps an editable source file so you can adjust wording, swap an image, or reorder pages later.

What it generates
  • A complete business proposal document with a challenge section, deliverables, timeline, and investment
  • A polished, branded PDF in a professional proposal format, ready to send to the client
  • An editable source file so you can revise text, images, or page order without starting over
  • Proposal variants for one-off projects (website, onboarding) or recurring services (retainer, ads, organic, CRM, consultancy)
  • A clean plain-text version of the proposal for email or notes
Variations

Project proposal (one-off)

For website builds, landing pages, or full onboarding: a phased scope with clear deliverables, a project timeline, and a single-project investment.

Recurring service proposal

For monthly retainers, paid ads, organic, CRM, or consultancy: a per-month offer laid out as work rhythm and ongoing deliverables rather than a fixed end date.

Service proposal for a specific offer

Focus a single service (for example paid ads or CRM) with its own scope box and a clear note on what is and is not included.

FAQ
What is the Proposals skill?

It is a SKILL.md file that teaches your AI assistant to write a complete, on-brand sales proposal from a short brief and export it as a ready-to-send PDF. It covers seven proposal types, from one-off projects to recurring service retainers.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?

Yes. It works with any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You use it inside the tool you already have.

Do I need to install anything or pay for an API key?

No. There is no separate app, no subscription, and no API key. You add the skill file to your assistant and start giving it briefs.

Does it set the price for me?

No. You provide the price, payment terms, and scope, and the skill builds the argument and layout around them. It never invents numbers, so nothing goes out that you did not approve.

Can I match my own brand?

Yes. The output uses your brand colours and logo when you provide them, and falls back to a clean professional default when you do not, so every proposal looks consistent.

Do I need design or coding skills to use it?

No. You write the brief in plain language and the skill handles the structure, layout, and PDF. If you want to fine-tune wording or swap an image afterward, the editable source makes it simple.

New to AI skills?

An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Proposals is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.

It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, proposals asks you for it first instead of inventing.

Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.

How to install and run it
  1. Download the file after checkout you get the SKILL.md plus a short README and your license.
  2. Add it to your AI drop SKILL.md into your skills folder (for example .claude/skills/) or paste its contents as a custom instruction.
  3. Run it ask your AI to use Proposals, give it what it asks for, and it does the work.
