Process

Step 1: Extract Job Details

From $ARGUMENTS:

• - If URL: use WebSearch or Bash to fetch page content
• If pasted text: parse directly

Extract:

• - Client's stated problem (what they're asking for)
• Client's real problem (what they actually need — often different)
• Budget (hourly vs fixed)
• Timeline
• Tech stack specified or implied
• Client background (company type, size, spend history if visible)

Step 2: Score the Opportunity

Quick fit score (skip if < 6/10):

• - Stack match: /3 (2+ = strong match)
• Budget viable: /2 (meets your floor)
• Client quality: /2 (some platform history, reasonable expectations)
• Problem solvable: /2 (not vague "build me a startup" type requests)
• Timeline realistic: /1

If score < 6: output SKIP — [specific reason] and stop.

Step 3: Identify the Hook

The first line is everything. Find the client's most pressing pain:

• - "You're losing users because [X]"
• "The bug you described is caused by [Y], here's the fix"
• "I've built exactly this for [similar context] — here's what I learned"

Never start with "Hi, I'm [name]" or list your skills first.

Step 4: Write the Proposal

Target: 180-220 words. Structure:
CODEBLOCK1

Tone: confident, direct, no buzzwords. Write like texting a peer.

Avoid: "I am a highly experienced developer", "I would love to help", "I am very passionate about", generic portfolio links without context.

Step 5: Output

Produce:

1. 1. The fit score with breakdown
2. The proposal text (ready to paste)
3. One optional follow-up question to add at the end (optional, if it would help)
