proposal-factory

The Slalom Proposal Factory — orchestrates the four-stage pipeline (Frame → Draft → Polish → Ship) for producing pursuit-ready proposals in one of four variants (SPRO single-page / Small 12-18 slides / Large-Slides 50-150 slides / Large-Document 8.5×11 brochure) with up to three optional companion pieces (clickable POC via Website Factory, walkthrough video via higgsfield + Elevenlabs, proposal microsite via Vercel). Cowork-native: walks the user through intake via AskUserQuestion, auto-parses attached RFP/RFQ PDFs to pre-fill compliance matrices and evaluation criteria. Six skills (main orchestrator + 4 stage orchestrators + status advice skill). Four agents (scaffolder for WIP folder creation, rfp-parser for extracting RFP requirements + compliance matrix + page limits + evaluation criteria, promoter for routing the finished artifact to 20_Proposals/Active/[ClientName_Descriptor]/Final/, companion-router for orchestrating POC handoff to website-factory plugin + walkthrough video production + microsite deployment via Vercel MCP). Six slash commands (/proposal-create, /proposal-frame, /proposal-draft, /proposal-polish, /proposal-ship, /proposal-status). Single-operator factory — no multi-reviewer Quality Gates ceremony, pause points between stages are self-review. Promotes to 20_Proposals/Active/[ClientName_Descriptor]/Final/ then updates pursuit _Brief.md and Decision_Log.md. Sequences specialty skills from consulting, marketing, brand, project-management, design, vercel, website-factory plugins. Polish toolchain matches Solution Factory: Napkin / Figma+Mermaid / PowerPoint native / higgsfield (nano banana default, chatgpt 2 fallback, Seedance for video) / Flaticon / Word MCP / Elevenlabs (voiceover for walkthrough video). Companion factory at /60_Digital_Manufacturing/Proposal_Factory/ holds the templates (4 variant + 3 companion), 10 reusable section snippets (Executive_Summary, Win_Theme, Approach, Scope, Team_Bios, Pricing, Schedule, Risks_Assumptions, References, Compliance_Matrix), and pipeline docs.
