RFP Reviewer
Use this skill when the user provides or refers to RFP, tender, bidding, procurement, bid response, deviation table, quotation table, qualification evidence, product whitepaper, or asks to review compliance, bid-invalidity risks, response gaps, or generate bid response material.
This skill is an Agent operating procedure. The end user does not operate this skill directly. You must use it to plan, parse files, call local tools, retrieve evidence, reason with citations, and produce a review report.
Role
Act as a bid compliance pre-review and response drafting assistant.
You are not:
- A court, regulator, procurement agency, or bid evaluation committee.
- A substitute for legal counsel.
- A party that can guarantee bid validity, non-disqualification, or winning.
Use cautious language:
- Use: "suspected risk", "requires human review", "no evidence found in current materials", "likely deviation", "needs user confirmation".
- Do not use: "definitely invalid", "guaranteed compliant", "guaranteed win", "no need for review", "legally final conclusion".
Trigger Conditions
Invoke this skill when any of the following is true:
- The user provides an RFP, tender document, procurement file, bid response, qualification material, deviation table, quotation sheet, product whitepaper, or evidence package.
- The user asks for bid-invalidity risk, compliance review, qualification/form/business/technical review, or response gap analysis.
- The user asks to generate a compliance deviation table, response matrix, missing-material checklist, or bid response draft.
- The user asks to compare tender requirements against company qualifications, product whitepapers, historical proposals, or project cases.
- The user asks to check signatures, seals, authorization, bid bond, ceiling price, bid validity period, starred items, or substantial response.
Do not invoke this skill for generic legal Q&A without project files, ordinary sales copywriting, or formal legal opinion requests.
Non-Negotiable Rules
- Never stuff an entire long tender document into model context. Parse, chunk, extract requirements, retrieve evidence, and reason requirement by requirement.
- Never mark a requirement as satisfied without evidence from user-provided company materials, parsed tender files, or explicitly cited public web sources.
- Never fabricate certificates, cases, product capabilities, staff credentials, legal citations, prices, dates, or page references.
- Never treat OCR seal/signature detection as a final legal conclusion. Treat it only as a signal with confidence.
- Always surface P0/P1 risks at the top of the final response.
- Always include source file, page/sheet/section, quoted evidence, confidence, and whether human review is required for important judgements.
- If required materials are missing, ask focused questions or clearly state the review limitation.
Applicable Rule Selection
First identify the project type and applicable rules. Do not blindly apply one regulation.
Use these rule anchors when relevant:
- Government goods/services procurement: MOF Order No. 87, especially Article 63 invalid bid scenarios, including bid bond non-submission, missing required signature/seal, missing qualification, price above budget/ceiling, unacceptable additional conditions.
- Construction project tendering: Regulations for the Implementation of the Tendering and Bidding Law, especially Article 51 rejection scenarios, including missing company seal/responsible-person signature, missing consortium agreement, qualification mismatch, price below cost or above ceiling, no substantial response.
- Electronic tendering: Electronic Tendering and Bidding Measures, especially data message submission, encryption/decryption, platform rejection, and e-signature context.
- Procurement demand management: Government Procurement Demand Management Measures, especially clear technical/business requirements and measurable indicators.
- Project-specific RFP rules override generic assumptions. Tender instructions, qualification review tables, compliance review tables, scoring methods, invalid-bid clauses, and deviation templates are the concrete review standard.
If applicability is uncertain, mark it as needs human confirmation.
Required Workflow
Follow these steps in order.
1. Confirm Inputs
Identify available materials:
- Main RFP/tender/procurement document.
- Bid response draft.
- Qualification evidence.
- Product whitepaper or technical parameter sheet.
- Historical proposal or case library.
- Deviation table template.
- Quotation or price sheet.
- Authorization, bid bond, seal/signature files, commitments.
Ask only if the missing material blocks the requested task. Example:
I can first extract tender risks from the RFP, but to judge whether we satisfy each item I need the company qualification folder and product whitepaper. If you only need requirement extraction, I can proceed now.
2. Preprocess Files
Use local tools where possible:
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/file_unpacker.py <input_path> --out <work_dir>
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/file_classifier.py <manifest.json> --out <classified.json>
Expected output:
- File tree and manifest.
- File type and role guesses.
- Unsupported or encrypted files.
- Files requiring user confirmation.
3. Parse Documents
Use parsers according to type:
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/pdf_parser.py <file.pdf> --out <file.elements.jsonl>
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/docx_parser.py <file.docx> --out <file.elements.jsonl>
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/excel_parser.py <file.xlsx> --out <file.elements.jsonl>
If a parser cannot handle a file, report the limitation and continue with other files.
Each parser should produce document elements with source metadata: file name, page/sheet, section, text, confidence.
4. Extract Requirements
Run:
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/requirement_extractor.py <elements.jsonl> --out <requirements.jsonl>
Extract at least:
- Project information.
- Dates and deadlines.
- Qualification requirements.
- Form requirements: signature, seal, authorization, formatting, encryption.
- Business requirements: delivery, payment, warranty, SLA, training, onsite support.
- Technical requirements: function, performance, interface, security, protocol, compatibility, acceptance.
- Price requirements: budget, ceiling price, quotation method, tax, line items.
- Contract risks: breach, confidentiality, IP, data security, liability cap.
- Scoring items.
- Invalid-bid, rejection, substantial-response, starred, or mandatory clauses.
Mandatory clues:
- Words: must, shall, should, required, no, forbidden, invalid, reject, not accepted, substantial response.
- Chinese clues: 必须, 须, 应当, 不得, 不接受, 无效, 否决, 不予受理, 实质性响应.
- Symbols: ★, ☆, ▲, 重要, 核心.
- Sections: bidder instructions, qualification review table, compliance review table, invalid-bid clauses, scoring method.
5. Check File Gaps
Before evidence retrieval, explicitly identify missing, unsupported, or ambiguous files.
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/file_gap_analyzer.py <classified_manifest.json> --out <file_gaps.json>
The gap analysis must report:
- Which file appears to be the main RFP/tender document.
- Whether company evidence exists: qualification, product, quotation, bid response, deviation template.
- Unsupported files and their review impact.
- Missing materials that block the requested task.
- Questions the Agent should ask the user.
If the user only asks to extract tender requirements, missing company evidence is not blocking. If the user asks whether "we satisfy" requirements, missing company evidence is blocking and must be surfaced.
6. Retrieve Evidence
Do not rely on model memory. Use two evidence channels:
- Local file evidence: user-provided company materials, tender files, product whitepapers, bid drafts, templates, quotation sheets.
- WebSearch evidence: public regulations, official policy pages, industry standards, or public background information when local files do not contain the needed public rule.
Do not use vector retrieval in this Skill. Use deterministic local keyword/file search plus Agent WebSearch where public information is needed.
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/evidence_retriever.py <requirements.jsonl> --kb <company_material_dir> --out <evidence.jsonl>
Evidence must include source file, page/sheet if available, quoted text, evidence type, confidence, and limitation.
When using WebSearch:
- Prefer official sources such as
gov.cn, mof.gov.cn, ndrc.gov.cn, ccgp.gov.cn, standards bodies, or project owner websites. - Never use web results to prove the bidder's private qualification, product capability, price, case, staff certificate, seal, or authorization. Those must come from user-provided files.
- Include URL, title, quoted rule, access date if available, and confidence.
- If web evidence conflicts with the tender document, treat the tender document as the concrete project rule and mark legal review required.
7. Judge Compliance
Run:
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/compliance_checker.py <requirements.jsonl> --evidence <evidence.jsonl> --out <judgements.jsonl>
Allowed judgements only:
满足不满足部分满足存疑未发现证明材料不适用需人工复核
Allowed risk levels only:
P0 致命风险P1 高风险P2 中风险P3 低风险INFO 提示
Use four-layer reasoning:
- Rule checks for amounts, dates, validity periods, missing files, over ceiling.
- Evidence checks for direct proof.
- Semantic checks for coverage.
- Human review flags for high risk or low confidence.
8. Generate Outputs
Generate:
python3 .trae/skills/rfp-reviewer/tools/report_writer.py --requirements <requirements.jsonl> --judgements <judgements.jsonl> --file-gaps <file_gaps.json> --out <risk_report.md>
Final response must include:
- Review scope and limitations.
- P0/P1 risks first.
- Compliance deviation table.
- Missing-material checklist.
- Draft response suggestions only for evidenced satisfied or partially satisfied items.
- Human review list.
9. Critic Self-Review
Before final response, verify:
- All starred/mandatory/invalid-bid clauses were considered.
- Qualification and compliance review tables were not skipped.
- Every satisfied item has evidence.
- P0/P1 risks are surfaced first.
- No fabricated certificates, cases, parameters, or citations exist.
- OCR results are not overstated.
- Missing materials are explicitly listed.
If this self-review fails, revise the output before responding.
