Consulting Proposal Designer

Current brand

Recoup/Consulting/Business work defaults to Recoup Sky. Read brand/GUIDE.md and the workspace DESIGN.md; explicit client/artist branding or a fidelity-only migration wins. Stage local resources: node <installed-skill>/brand/materialize.mjs <output-directory>. Use its CSS, actual DM Sans/IBM Plex Mono fonts, exact outlined SVG logo, and brand/finals.json reference IDs. No recurring brand setup question. Save editable source and brand.lock.json with reference IDs/expression beside the output. Marketing owns the authored identity; the bundled snapshot works without another checkout.

Use the selected workspace and its DESIGN.md. Read the deal's approved copy, actual pricing, scope, and agreement before rendering. recoup-internal-consulting-proposal-drafting and recoup-internal-consulting-pricing-builder can prepare those inputs; this skill owns layout and rendering.

1. Read assets/copy-and-design-frameworks.md relative to this installed skill.
2. Copy assets/proposal-template.html into the deal's existing 02-proposals/ folder. Preserve the installed template; generated files and environments belong in the selected workspace.
3. Fill every slot, including DOC_TITLE, all TIER_1_* through TIER_3_* fields, steps, commercial terms, and brand fields. Escape text values. Use only reviewed markup in rich-content slots. All prices, service promises, and ownership claims require actual approval/source evidence.
4. Fill BRAND_CSS with node <installed-skill>/brand/materialize.mjs --inline-css output for Recoup. Fill BRAND_LOCKUP_HTML with the supplied outlined ink SVG (or a data-URI image); this makes the document independent of the plugin path and network. For another selected brand supply its own full CSS tokens and exact logo. Omit personal attribution unless requested. Font changes affect pagination.
5. Prepare a Python environment outside the plugin. Install Playwright and its Chromium browser, or an available WeasyPrint environment. These are alternative renderers, not hidden dependencies: python3 -m venv <workspace-env>; use that environment's Python for -m pip install playwright and -m playwright install chromium. WeasyPrint is optional and needs its platform libraries.
6. Run the installed helper with absolute paths: "<workspace-env>/bin/python" "<installed-skill>/assets/render.py" "<workspace>/.../proposal.html". --check validates slots without rendering. --engine chromium|weasyprint|auto selects the engine. CHROMIUM_PATH optionally names an existing browser executable.
7. Inspect both pages, verify prices/terms and text overflow, and retain the editable HTML alongside the PDF. Target two pages; the renderer does not certify page count or visual fit.
8. Prepare delivery according to the agreed process. Do not invent a deadline, require a video, or send the proposal without authorization.
