Example session with this skill installed
Client wants a landing page and a logo refresh. My rate is $100/hr. They keep asking for 'a few extra icons' too. Give me a proposal with tiers and a change order for the icons.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the scope guard
I have analyzed the request and generated a tiered proposal along with a change order for the additional icon work. The pricing includes a 20% contingency buffer for project risks.
Project Proposal: Landing Page & Brand Refresh
| Tier | Deliverables | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Single landing page (3 sections), Logo cleanup (SVG/PNG), 1 round of revisions. | $1,200 |
| Professional | Landing page (5 sections + Lead Magnet), Full Logo Refresh, 3 rounds of revisions, SEO meta tags. | $2,400 |
| Premium | Full Landing Page, Logo Suite, Icon Set (5 custom), 5 rounds of revisions, 30 days post-launch support. | $3,800 |
Change Order #001: Custom Iconography
Original Scope: Landing Page & Logo Refresh
New Request: "A few extra icons"
Adjustment: 5x Custom Vector Icons
Additional Cost: $500 (Fixed Fee)
Timeline Impact: +2 Business Days
Why this works: The three-tier model shifts the conversation from "if" they hire you to "how" they hire you. The change order defines the "extra icons" as a premium add-on, preventing them from slipping into the base project price.
Next steps
- Send the tiered proposal to the client to confirm their preferred budget level.
- Once a tier is selected, I can generate the full SOW with specific exclusions.
- Use the change order text if they push for the icons to be included in the Essential or Professional tiers.

About this skill
Freelancing and agency work often fail due to vague briefs, unpriced scope creep, and late payments. This skill provides a structured toolkit to convert messy client communications into profitable, protected contracts and manageable projects.
What it does
- Extract requirements from disorganized client messages to define the true project scope.
- Generate tiered pricing using a three-option model (Good/Better/Best) to increase closing rates.
- Draft Statements of Work that prioritize explicit exclusions and revision limits to prevent free work.
- Detect client red flags by scanning communication history for potential payment or scope risks.
- Manage scope creep with instant change order drafts for requests outside the original agreement.
- Automate payment chasing with a series of warm but firm templates for overdue invoices.
How it works
- Use
/scope briefto distill a client's initial inquiry into a clean list of deliverables. - Run
/scope quoteor/scope proposalto calculate costs and present structured options. - Execute
/scope sowto generate a formal agreement focused on risk mitigation and boundaries. - Apply
/scope changeorderwhenever a client adds tasks mid-project to ensure you are paid for the extra effort.
Frameworks & tools
This skill uses custom Python scripts for quote calculation and a library of Markdown templates for legal-adjacent documentation.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic AI often produces soft, "people-pleasing" copy that leads to project bloop and unpaid labor. This skill is hard-coded with agency principles that prioritize firm boundaries, explicit exclusions, and tiered pricing psychology.
Use cases
- Converting a vague email thread into a professional 3-tier proposal.
- Handling a "quick favor" request mid-project by generating a formal change order.
- Drafting a legally-aware Statement of Work that limits revisions and defines handoff.
- Sending a sequence of follow-up messages to a client who is 15 days late on an invoice.
