Capture Readiness Checklist

Runs a 30-item capture readiness audit on a single federal pursuit and produces two deliverables in one invocation: a filled checklist scored Green / Yellow / Red / N/A with one-line evidence per item, and a ranked gaps report with severity, recommended action, owner, days-to-close, a weighted readiness score, and a recommended next gate. Triggers on phrases like "capture readiness", "pursuit audit", "gaps report", "capture checklist", "30-item assessment", "GovCon capture", "federal capture readiness", "bid readiness", "capture maturity". Built for solo BD owners and capture leads at small primes who need a defensible capture plan in 30 minutes instead of a half-day self-audit. Handles pursuit-type pivots (new / recompete / sole-source), pursuit-stage pivots (early / mid / late), and vendor-size pivots (solo / small / mid / large). Feeds the bid/no-bid decision; does not replace it.

What you get

A production-ready Claude skill that runs the workflow above on your own subscription — no SaaS contract, no procurement cycle, no third-party data layer. Install it and run it on the next pursuit that hits your desk.

How it ships

Delivered as installable source from Products/skills/capture-readiness-checklist, with an install guide, a verification step, and a published scope (what it does, what it doesn't). Runs inside your Claude instance on the data you provide.

HIGH-TRUST discipline. Where this tool produces pricing, compliance, or past-performance artifacts, FAR/DFARS guardrails and "FOR INTERNAL ESTIMATE USE — NOT A PROPOSAL PRICE" disclaimers are embedded in the output. It does not replace qualified pricer, counsel, or color-team review.
