A Quote the Buyer Can Configure

What it is for

An interactive quote only pays off if every version the buyer can build is one you could actually deliver. This produces the rows with defaults already filled in, flags options that only work in pairs, and runs the combinations: the cheapest one the controls allow, the two most likely to be chosen, and whether any of them lands under your floor. It ends with the case people forget — if the quote goes out static, the defaults are the whole offer.

The skill Copy

Design the option set for a quote the buyer will re-total themselves. I want
the rows, the defaults and the combinations checked — not the sales prose.

What we sell: [...]
Base scope, not removable: [...]
Genuine options, each with a price: [...]
Quantity-driven items (seats, locations, months): [...]
Floor price I will not go under: [...]

Produce:
1. Every row the buyer can switch on or off, with a plain label and one line
   saying what they lose by leaving it off. A control with no consequence
   attached gets switched off.
2. Every quantity row with a sensible default already filled in. A quote that
   opens at zero seats makes the buyer do arithmetic before they are sold.
3. The state I want them to land on, marked as recommended, with its total.
4. Recurring and one-off rows kept apart and labelled with their period. In a
   single moving total the two get added together, and nobody notices until
   month two.

Then run the combinations before I send it:
- The cheapest configuration the controls allow. Give me its total, and say
  whether we could deliver it. If it lands under my floor, tell me what to
  fold into the base scope so that it cannot.
- Any two options that only make sense together. If switching one off breaks
  the other, they are one row, not two.
- Any option whose price stops making sense at a high quantity — per-seat
  extras are where this bites.
- The two configurations most likely to be chosen, and whether both are
  profitable.

Do not make the core deliverable removable. A buyer optimising downwards will
find the cheapest configuration that cannot succeed, and the outcome will be
read as our failure, not their configuration.

If the quote ends up static after all, the defaults are the quote. Set them as
if nobody will ever touch a control.

How to install it Copy

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
