# /cs:rfp-respond — RFP structured response + win-theme + winrate prediction

Run the `rfp-responder` skill on this input:

**$ARGUMENTS**

## Three-tool workflow

1. **`rfp_parser.py`** — Extracts sections + requirements + scoring criteria from RFP text. Tags each requirement: MANDATORY / WEIGHTED / NICE-TO-HAVE. Surfaces scoring weight if disclosed.

2. **`response_drafter.py`** — Proof-point matrix per requirement (case studies, certs, customer quotes, technical attestations). Refuses to invent claims — requires either a verifiable source or an explicit "GAP" label. Win-theme injection per Shipley methodology.

3. **`winrate_predictor.py`** — Shipley-derived winrate estimate from: incumbent advantage, requirement-fit %, relationship strength with buyer, decision-criteria alignment, late-entry penalty.

## Hard rule

**Every proof point must have a verifiable source.** No invented claims. GAP labels surface explicitly so leadership decides whether to address or no-bid.

## Distinct from

- `business-growth/contract-and-proposal-writer` — **free-form** proposal authoring (your-narrative-driven). RFP-responder handles **structured** response where the buyer dictates the format and the questions.
- `c-level-advisor/general-counsel-advisor` — contract redline. RFP-responder is the response **before** the contract.
- `marketing-skill/*` — external marketing assets (web, ads, content). RFP-responder is a sales-enablement artifact tied to one buyer.
