Your system · your proposals, mined
An add-on that mines the proposals you have already written into your own patterns: your structure, your phrasing, what you always include, how you present price. Then, when a call happens, the notes go in and the draft comes out following the way you have written proposals for years, from the 5 you already wrote. The seams stay visible so you always know which lines need you. You bring the price, you finish, you send. Your evening is for finishing rather than starting.
Add it to your systemIt reads the system you already built and slots in. No full system yet? It brings a small starter and runs on its own.
See the difference
The evening you know, and the evening where the draft was waiting. Flip between them.
You know exactly what goes in this proposal. The same sections you have written 20 times: the recap, the approach, the timeline, the price, the close. You could recite them.
Somehow it is still 3 hours. Opening the last one to copy from, deciding it does not quite fit, rewriting lines you have already written well, twice, in other files you cannot find. Midnight, and most of what you typed existed before you started.
The call notes go in. The draft comes out in your structure and your phrasing: your opening move, your section order, the lines you always use, mined from the proposals you have already written and corrected by you, once.
The client's situation sits in it from your notes, in the words they used on the call. The price section is in your format, waiting for the number you name. Every line is marked: from your patterns, from the call, or needs you.
Your evening is the finishing: the two paragraphs only you can write, a read-through, send. The 3 hours are back.
The draft is built from your own past proposals, so what arrives is your structure and your phrasing, never a template with your logo on it.
The whole loop
Six moves that live inside your own system. The mining happens once; after that, every call feeds the next draft.
3 to 5 of them, in any format: PDF, doc, an email you sent. They are the corpus. Everything that follows is built from these, which is why it sounds like you.
How your proposals open, your section order, the phrases you always use, what you always include and never include, how you present price, your close. Your exact wording, quoted and marked as verbatim.
Every pattern is an observation until you confirm it. A phrase that was a one-off, a section you retired: you correct the file, your corrections win, and nothing else runs until you have.
You were on the call, so the client details come from your notes and nowhere else. A transcript, an email thread, or points from memory all work. Where the notes are silent, the draft leaves a gap instead of guessing.
Your structure, your phrasing, the client's situation in their own words from the call. The price sits in your format with the number you name. The seams are marked, so you can see which lines are already yours and which wait for you.
The two paragraphs only you can write, a read-through, done. The draft is complete when you say so, and sending stays yours. Later, the answer goes in the file too: yes, no, or silence.
There is a look-back inside: tell it each answer as it lands, and once several proposals have answers it reads across your whole record. What the yeses had in common, what preceded the silences, anchored to real proposals with dates, as observations you get to weigh. You cannot see it inside one proposal. You can across ten.
A fresh chat writes you a competent, generic proposal that could be anyone's. Your system holds the 5 you already wrote, the patterns you confirmed, and every outcome since, so the next draft starts from your best work instead of a blank page. It is a Mind practice, and it lives in a system that is yours.
The part that makes it yours
A template fits a consultant who exists on average. Your proposals have your structure, your phrasing, and your prices in them. The drafts are made of those.
The opening move, the section order, the lines you always use: all mined from proposals you actually sent, kept verbatim, and confirmed by you before a single draft runs. If it is in the draft, it came from you or from the call.
It asks for the number and places it in the format you use: fixed, a range, or options. It never proposes a price and never suggests a lower one. If the scope and the number seem mismatched, it asks one question and stops.
Every line in a draft is marked: from your patterns, from the call notes, or needs you. You always know which lines are already yours and which ones wait for you, so nothing invented can hide in the middle of page two.
It mines what you give it: two proposals teach it less than five, and when the corpus is thin it says so instead of padding the gaps. It cannot know the new client: you were on the call, it was not, so you bring the notes and where they are silent the draft says "needs you" instead of inventing. And it does not pretend to predict win rates: it records what came back and reads your own record back to you, because a draft that guesses at your client is a draft you cannot send.
A peek inside
Plain files that drop into your root system, in folders you own and can open in anything.
The promises
Built the same way as the rest of your system, because your name goes on what gets sent.
Every draft comes from your corpus and your call notes, never from a generic template. The mining shows its work, and you correct it before anything runs.
It asks for the number and never proposes one. It never suggests going lower. If scope and price seem mismatched, it names the mismatch as a question, once, and the answer is yours.
It is complete when you say so, and it never leaves your machine on its own. You finish it, you send it, and the lines that need you are marked so none of them slip through.
Your patterns, your drafts, and every outcome live in your own system as plain files, in a folder you own rather than on a platform you rent by the month.
How to use it
Install takes about 5 minutes. The mining pass takes about 20, once. After that, a draft takes minutes and your time goes to finishing.
Download and unzip into your root folder. The skills join your existing skills and the templates get a home. No full system yet? It brings a small starter so it runs on its own.
Run draft-a-proposal with 3 to 5 past proposals in any format: the first run is the mining pass. It shows you the patterns it found, in your verbatim phrases, and you fix what it got wrong. Your corrections win.
After each call, run draft-a-proposal with your notes. The draft arrives in your voice with the seams marked, you name the price, finish, and send. When the answer comes back, tell it, and the record keeps it.
# one line in your root CLAUDE.md, once
- Proposals: when I say "draft the proposal for..." or
"here are my past proposals", read the draft-a-proposal skill and run it.
Hand over the 5 you already wrote, correct the patterns once, and the next draft arrives in your structure and your phrasing, waiting for the lines only you can write. 20 minutes of mining now, and every proposal evening after that belongs to finishing.
