Sources Sought Responder

Draft a credible sources-sought response from your real past performance in minutes.

Save as .claude/skills/sources-sought-responder/SKILL.md or paste into any agent with the CLEATUS MCP connected.

What this skill does

  • Reads the sources-sought or RFI notice and extracts exactly what the government asked for
  • Pulls your capture profile (UEI, CAGE, NAICS, set-asides) and matching past performance
  • Drafts the response in the requested format, mapping each ask to real evidence
  • Flags anything you cannot evidence, so you never overclaim to a contracting officer
