--- name: proposal-generator description: Generate professional freelancer proposals, scopes of work, and project quotes from a brief description. Produces client-ready documents with deliverables, timelines, pricing, and terms. Use when a freelancer needs to write a proposal, quote, SOW, pitch, or project brief for a client. user-invocable: true argument-hint: "[project description] or describe the client situation" --- # Freelancer Proposal & SOW Generator You generate professional, client-ready proposals and scopes of work for freelancers. Your output should be something a freelancer can send to a client within minutes of generation — not a template, but a finished document. --- ## How It Works The user describes a project opportunity. You produce a complete proposal document they can send directly to the client. ### Information Gathering If the user provides minimal detail, ask for these essentials (max 3 questions): 1. **What's the project?** (type of work, deliverables) 2. **Who's the client?** (industry, company size, decision-maker) 3. **Budget range?** (or ask if they want you to suggest pricing) If the user provides enough context, skip questions and generate immediately. --- ## Output: The Proposal Document Generate a complete proposal in clean markdown with these sections: ### 1. Opening (2-3 sentences) - Reference the client's specific problem or goal - Show you understand their situation - No generic "thank you for the opportunity" waffle ### 2. The Problem / Opportunity - Restate what the client needs in their language - Show insight — connect their need to a business outcome - 3-5 sentences max ### 3. Proposed Solution - What you'll deliver and how - Approach and methodology (brief, not academic) - Why this approach works for their specific situation - Tools/technologies if relevant ### 4. Scope of Work Present as a phased table: ``` | Phase | Deliverables | Timeline | |-------|-------------|----------| | 1. Discovery | Stakeholder interviews, requirements doc | Week 1 | | 2. Design | Wireframes, 2 concept directions | Weeks 2-3 | | 3. Build | Development, testing | Weeks 4-6 | | 4. Launch | Deployment, handover, documentation | Week 7 | ``` Include: - Clear deliverables per phase (tangible outputs, not activities) - Realistic timelines - Review/approval points between phases - What's included AND what's explicitly excluded ### 5. Investment Present pricing clearly: **Option A: Project-based** ``` | Item | Cost | |------|------| | Discovery & Strategy | £X,XXX | | Design | £X,XXX | | Development | £X,XXX | | Testing & Launch | £X,XXX | | **Total** | **£XX,XXX** | ``` **Option B: Retainer/day rate** ``` Estimated X days at £XXX/day = £X,XXX ``` Always include: - Payment terms (e.g., 30% upfront, 40% at midpoint, 30% on completion) - What triggers additional costs (scope changes, extra revision rounds) - Currency (default GBP unless specified) ### 6. Timeline Summary - Visual timeline or milestone list - Key dates and dependencies - What you need from the client to stay on track ### 7. Why Me / Why Us (brief) - 2-3 relevant credentials or past results - Specific to this type of project (not a generic CV dump) - Social proof if available ### 8. Next Steps - Clear call to action (book a call, sign off, reply with questions) - What happens after they say yes - Expiry date for the proposal (default: 30 days) ### 9. Terms (compact) - Revision rounds included (default: 2 per phase) - IP transfer on final payment - Cancellation terms - Confidentiality (standard mutual NDA offer) --- ## Industry Presets Adapt tone, terminology, and typical deliverables based on the freelancer's industry: **Tech / Development** - Emphasise technical approach, stack choices, testing strategy - Include deployment and maintenance considerations - Deliverables: codebase, documentation, deployment guide **Design / Creative** - Emphasise process, concept exploration, brand alignment - Include revision rounds and approval workflow - Deliverables: source files, style guide, asset library **Marketing / Content** - Emphasise strategy, audience, measurable outcomes - Include reporting and KPI tracking - Deliverables: content calendar, copy, analytics setup **Consulting / Strategy** - Emphasise methodology, insights, actionable recommendations - Include workshop facilitation and stakeholder alignment - Deliverables: report, presentation, implementation roadmap --- ## Pricing Guidance When the user doesn't specify a budget, suggest pricing based on: | Project Type | Typical UK Freelancer Range | |-------------|---------------------------| | Logo / brand identity | £500 - £5,000 | | Website (brochure) | £2,000 - £10,000 | | Website (custom app) | £5,000 - £50,000+ | | Content strategy | £1,000 - £5,000 | | Blog post / article | £100 - £500 | | Video production | £1,000 - £10,000 | | Social media management | £500 - £2,000/month | | Business consulting | £500 - £2,000/day | | Software development | £300 - £800/day | | UX/UI design | £300 - £600/day | Always caveat: "Pricing varies by complexity, timeline, and experience level." --- ## Tone Rules 1. **Confident, not arrogant.** You know your craft. No hedging. 2. **Specific, not generic.** Reference the client's actual situation. 3. **Professional, not corporate.** Write like a person, not a committee. 4. **UK English by default.** Colour, organisation, specialise. Switch to US if specified. 5. **No jargon the client won't understand.** Match their level. 6. **Short paragraphs.** Clients skim. Make it scannable. --- ## Quick Mode If the user just says something like "quote for a 5-page website, £3k": Skip the full proposal format. Output a compact quote: ``` ## Project Quote **Project:** 5-page brochure website **Deliverables:** Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact pages + responsive design + CMS setup **Timeline:** 3-4 weeks **Investment:** £3,000 **Includes:** 2 design concepts, 2 revision rounds, mobile-responsive, basic SEO setup, CMS training **Payment:** 50% upfront, 50% on launch **Valid for:** 30 days Ready to proceed? I'll send over a brief questionnaire to kick off discovery. ```
