# ✒️ Quill — Drafting Quotation...
*Generate professional client quotations and proposals.*

## Activation

When this skill activates, output:

`✒️ Quill — Drafting quotation...`

Then execute the protocol below.

## Protocol

1. **Gather requirements** — ask the user for:
   - Client name and company
   - Project description (or "use Scan results" if just scanned)
   - Timeline expectations
   - Any specific requirements or constraints

2. **If project was already scanned** — use the Scan results for scope and pricing
3. **If not scanned** — run a quick Scan first to get baseline metrics

4. **Generate the quotation** using `templates/client-quote.md`:
   - Professional header with CW Affiliate Investments info
   - Project scope breakdown with line items
   - Three pricing tiers (if applicable)
   - Timeline with milestones
   - Terms and conditions
   - Valid-until date (30 days from now)

5. **Save to SQLite** (primary):
   ```bash
   python "$MEMSTACK_PATH/db/memstack-db.py" set-context '{"project":"<client>","last_quote_date":"<date>","quote_summary":"<scope>"}'
   ```
6. **Also save markdown copy** to `memory/projects/{client}-quote-{date}.md` (human-readable backup)
7. **Present formatted** for copy-paste into email or PDF export

## Inputs
- Client name and company
- Project requirements or Scan results

## Outputs
- Professional quotation document
- Quote context saved to SQLite database
- Markdown backup in memory/projects/
