govcon-ontology

by BdM-15
star 1

Authoritative, agent-readable specification of Project Theseus's 32-entity / 26-relationship federal-contracting ontology. USE WHEN extracting entities or relationships from any federal solicitation text — RFP, SOW, PWS, proposal instructions / evaluation criteria / attachments (UCF Section L/M/J or equivalent), FAR 16 task orders, FOPRs, BPA calls, OTAs, agency-specific formats; validating extraction output; extending the ontology with a new entity type or relationship; debugging "why didn't it tag this as a CLIN?"; or when any agent (Copilot, sub-agent, Theseus runtime) needs to produce or consume Theseus-graph-compatible structured output. The ontology is intentionally format-agnostic — entity types map to purpose, not UCF position. DO NOT USE FOR generic NER, non-federal contracting (state/local/commercial), or open-domain knowledge graphs. Acts as living documentation and a guardrail so agents extend the ontology consistently.

ot-prototype-strategist

by BdM-15
star 1

Federal Other Transaction (OT) prototype bid strategist for 10 USC 4021 research and 10 USC 4022 prototype/4022(f) production-follow-on agreements. USE WHEN the user asks to "build an OT bid", "respond to this OT solicitation", "estimate should-cost for an OT prototype", "is this milestone price reasonable", "compare 4022(d) cost-share paths", "team with an NDC to avoid 1/3 cost share", "OT price-to-win", or "TRL milestone phasing" — any milestone-based prototype scoping, OT cost stack, or 4022(d) cost-share strategy question. Reconstructs the AO's TRL phasing from the active workspace KG, picks the 4022(d) path that minimizes our exposure, builds a per-milestone cost stack from BLS OEWS + GSA CALC+ + GSA Per Diem, and emits a JSON envelope handed to `proposal-generator`. DO NOT USE FOR FAR-based contracts (`price-to-win`/`proposal-generator`), incumbent research (`competitive-intel`), FAR clause audit (`compliance-auditor`), or prime-to-sub SOW drafting (`subcontractor-sow-builder`).

compliance-auditor

by BdM-15
star 1

Federal acquisition compliance auditor for the active Theseus workspace, backed by live FAR/DFARS text via the vendored `ecfr` MCP. USE WHEN the user asks to audit FAR/DFARS clause coverage, validate that cited clauses actually exist in eCFR (catch fabricated or typo'd numbers), check whether a cited clause has been amended since the solicitation issued, validate regulatory references (NIST SP, DAFI, MIL-STD), check that every "shall" requirement has a deliverable, find missing compliance artifacts, audit proposal_instruction ↔ evaluation_factor coverage (UCF Section L↔M or non-UCF equivalent — FAR 16 task orders, FOPRs, BPA calls, OTAs), or "are we compliant with the proposal instructions?". Cross-references the workspace's clause / regulatory_reference / requirement / deliverable / compliance_artifact entities against live eCFR and flags gaps with severity. Format-agnostic. DO NOT USE FOR drafting compliant prose (use proposal-generator) or extracting clauses (Theseus pipeline does that automatically).

price-to-win

by BdM-15
star 1

Federal price-to-win (PTW) and competitor cost-stack estimator backed by live BLS OEWS wages, GSA CALC+ ceiling rates, and GSA Per Diem via the vendored `bls_oews`, `gsa_calc`, `gsa_perdiem` MCPs. USE WHEN the user asks "what's the price to win?", "build a competitor cost stack", "estimate the incumbent's bid", "back into a wrap rate", "what should we price this at?", or any variant of PTW, should-cost, target price, or cost-stack reverse-engineering for a federal opportunity. Picks a contract-type cost model (FFP wrap-rate, LH/T&M burden multiplier, or CR CPFF/CPAF/CPIF pools — or hybrid) via decision tree, pulls SOC+metro wages from BLS, anchors against CALC+, computes per diem, and emits a competitor cost stack with low/mid/high scenarios + FAR 15.404-4/16.x citations. DO NOT USE FOR proposal prose (use `proposal-generator`), FAR clause audit (use `compliance-auditor`), award-history research (use `competitive-intel`), or rendering workbooks (use `renderers`).

workload-analyzer

by BdM-15
star 1

Analyzes federal contract workload attachments (Section J spreadsheets, PWS data tables, site lists, demand history) to identify pricing risks, demand trends, geographic concentration, and hidden modeling assumptions — then produces a structured handoff to price-to-win. USE WHEN the user uploads or references a workload spreadsheet, sites list, demand history table, staffing table, CLIN volume estimate, or any Section J attachment with quantitative data. Also triggers on 'analyze this workload', 'what does this data tell us about staffing', 'help me understand site scope', 'workload trend', 'CM volume', 'site count', or 'what should I price for option years'. Builds on data-analyzer's statistical foundation — do not use data-analyzer directly for govcon workload data; use this skill.

pdf-export

by BdM-15
star 0

Convert any Ariadne-rendered Office artifact (.pptx gate-review deck, .xlsx compliance matrix, .docx proposal volume draft) into a frozen sibling .pdf via headless LibreOffice. Use this skill whenever the user wants to build, edit, or debug Python code that turns an existing .pptx / .docx / .xlsx into PDF for emailing - including writing core/pdf_export.py, adding "Render .pdf" / "Download .pdf" controls to the Pursuit Detail Compliance Matrix tab, the Pursuit Detail Volume Drafts tab, or the Gate Reviews milestone deck section, debugging LibreOffice profile lock-up, or handling cross-platform soffice discovery. Trigger whenever the user mentions "pdf export", "render pdf", "to pdf", "freeze the artifact", "email-ready pdf", "soffice", "libreoffice headless", "docx2pdf alternative", or references .pdf alongside .pptx / .xlsx / .docx in the Streamlit UI. This is the authoritative recipe - follow it instead of reaching for python-docx2pdf (Windows-Word-only), pypandoc, or hand-rolled subprocess invocations.

SEO KNOWLEDGE HUB & TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.

Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.

The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File

A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:

  • Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
  • Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
  • System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
  • Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
  • Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.

Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs

Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.

Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles

What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.

SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure. Join our community of developers to standardize your AI agent instructions and optimize your LLM prompting workflows today.
