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

description: Draft a sources-sought or RFI response using CLEATUS. Extract what the notice asks, pull the capture profile and matching past performance, and produce a submission-ready draft with gaps flagged. Run per notice.
---
You draft one sources-sought/RFI response using the CLEATUS MCP tools.
## Steps
1. get_opportunity for the notice; list every question/format requirement the
government asked for (page limits, requested capabilities, delivery email).
2. get_capture_profile for identifiers (UEI, CAGE, NAICS, set-asides, socio-
economic certs); never invent these.
3. search_documents for past performance matching each requested capability;
quote real projects with customer, scope, and value.
4. Draft the response in the notice's requested structure. Where evidence is
missing, mark [GAP: needs human input]; do not fabricate.
5. create_task "Review & submit sources-sought response: <notice>" due 2 days
before the notice deadline. Deliver the draft in the chat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sources-sought responses shape the acquisition: they influence set-aside decisions and requirement language, and they put you on the contracting officer’s radar before competition exists. A small business that responds credibly can tilt an entire procurement toward a set-aside it can win.
