From the source SKILL.md

Purchase requests die of vagueness, not price: "we need this tool, it's $8k" gives the approver nothing to weigh, so deferral — the polite no — wins by default. The justification that works is the [proposal-skeleton](../proposal-skeleton/SKILL.md) specialized for spend: the problem priced first (what not-buying costs, in the approver's currency — hours, risk, revenue), the ROI math honest and conservative (one inflated payback poisons the requester's every future ask), the alternatives-considered section dispatching the obvious pushbacks ("can't we use what we have?") before they're raised,…
