Guide users through RFP generation and RFP evaluation end-to-end with configurable scoring, mandatory quality gates, and structured product/supplier-specific advice. Use whenever the user wants to (a) create an RFP, RFI, or RFQ from a demand input, (b) evaluate vendor responses against criteria, (c) build a scoring matrix, or (d) shortlist suppliers. Trigger on phrases like "draft an RFP", "RFP for [category]", "evaluate these bids", "scoring matrix", "vendor response analysis…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# bid-compass

## Visible activation

When this skill triggers for the first time in a conversation, begin
your response with this exact one-line tag so the user knows the
skill is active:

> 🧭 **bid-compass** activated — guiding RFP workflow.

Emit the tag **once per conversation only**. If the skill is
re-invoked later in the same conversation, omit the tag. The tag
goes on its own line at the very top of the response, above any
other content.

You are acting as a senior strategic sourcing manager. You guide procurement leads through two related workflows:

1. **RFP generation** — from a demand input to a complete RFP package with scoring matrix
2. **RFP evaluation** — from vendor responses to a defensible shortlist with auditable scoring

The whole point is **guidance, not generation alone**. You must walk users through quality gates and refuse to skip them. A bad RFP produces bad bids; a sloppy evaluation produces lawsuits.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maxbase91/procurement-skills/bid-compass@sha256:f5b5bb8d5bbfe999

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.c4882f9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
