The first enterprise deal doesn't die in the demo — it dies eleven weeks later in a vendor-risk spreadsheet. This skill runs the gauntlet early: security questionnaire, legal redlines, compliance checks, and procurement's favorite question ("what happens to our data when you die?") — producing the findings memo their team would write, so yours can prepare the artifacts before the clock is running on a real deal.
The Procurement Gauntlet is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/the-procurement-gauntlet/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to prep for enterprise procurement, simulate a security review, why do enterprise deals stall, or get ready for vendor assessment. Produces the reviewer's findings memo (security, legal, compliance, vendor-risk), the stall-risk ranking, and a debrief with the artifacts to prepare before the real gauntlet.
The The Procurement Gauntlet Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 158,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
