Internal proposals die of three causes: the problem arrived unpriced (so the status quo stayed free), the options section was a strawman parade (so the reader felt managed), or the ask was unsized (so "interesting" substituted for a decision). The working spine is old and undefeated: the problem with its cost → real options fairly stated → the recommendation with reasons → risks conceded with mitigations → a decision-sized ask with a reversibility line. One page, because proposals are read in the gap between meetings.
Proposal Skeleton is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the deal-management sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/proposal-skeleton/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked write a proposal for the new tool or process or hire, how do I pitch this internally, structure my case for the change, or my proposals keep dying in review. Produces the proposal skeleton filled from the actual case, the objections table, the decision-sized ask, and the one-page discipline.
The Proposal Skeleton Claude Code skill is built for sales development reps, account executives, revenue operations teams, and customer success managers. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 174,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
