Choose a skill
Choose the right GovTribe AI skill or GovCon workflow for a conversation, automation, document review, or capture task.
Skills are the guided workflow menu in GovTribe AI. Choosing one helps GovTribe AI use the right guidance for work such as reviewing a target in depth, qualifying a pursuit, finding market signals, building pricing evidence, using source evidence, marking up documents, creating interactive visuals, or preparing proposal controls.
Use this page when you need to decide which skill to select before sending a prompt. For detailed prompt examples and workflow-specific guidance, open GovCon workflows with GovTribe AI.
How skills work
Open Use a skill from the GovTribe AI composer to search the available skills and choose the one that best matches the work. The skill menu stays at the main workflow level, such as Capture Workflows, Market Intelligence, Pricing Data, or Proposal Workflows.
When you select a skill, GovTribe AI adds that guidance to your next prompt. The selected skill guides the answer, but GovTribe AI can still use other relevant context when needed. For example, a capture workflow can still use pricing data, source files, or record relationships when those are needed to answer the request well.
You can steer the selected skill toward a focused workflow or market context in the prompt. Name the workflow, industry, buyer or agency, geography, asset or system type, compliance context, or contract type when those details matter. GovTribe AI uses that context to tailor the selected workflow and focus the response on the decision you need to make.
Market context helps GovTribe AI ask more useful questions, but it is not a substitute for source review. The solicitation, files, buyer context, and records still control which requirements actually apply.
Skills can also be selected in Automations. Use the same approach there: choose the skill that matches the work the automation should repeat, such as reviewing a pipeline, watching for recompetes, or building recurring pricing context.
The visible skill list can vary by account access. The GovCon workflows below are the high-value workflow skills GovCon users are most likely to choose intentionally.
Which workflow should I choose?
| Choose | When you need | Detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Dive | A thorough, source-backed dossier for one resolved opportunity, award, vendor, agency, vehicle, or related GovTribe record. | Deep Dive |
| Capture Workflows | A pursue, no-bid, watch, partner, ranking, pipeline, incumbent, competitor, or account-expansion recommendation. | Capture Workflows |
| Market Intelligence | Buyer behavior, market demand, recurring capture monitors, saved-search reports, early signals, acquisition targets, recompete exposure, spend timing, certification timing, or budget-backed context. | Market Intelligence |
| Pricing Data | Price-to-win ranges, wage baselines, labor-rate benchmarks, awarded line-item evidence, or a pricing model. | Pricing Data |
| Proposal Workflows | Proposal controls, compliance workbooks, source registers, submission trackers, writer-facing outlines, response packages, or buyer-template completion from a resolved source package. | Proposal Workflows |
| Visual Analysis and Document Review | KPI cards, charts, leaderboards, maps, selectable views, or annotatable document previews inside the conversation. | Visual Analysis and Document Review |
Prompt more clearly
Strong skill prompts usually include:
- The target record, buyer, market, saved search, pipeline, document, or artifact.
- Your business context, such as company fit, customer focus, certification, geography, vehicle access, or teaming posture.
- Your market context, such as industry, buyer or agency, geography, asset or system type, compliance context, and contract type.
- The output you want, such as a ranked list, bid/no-bid call, evidence-backed brief, pricing posture, chart, map, workbook, response draft, filled template, or marked-up document.
- The decision or next action the answer should support.
Example prompt:
Use Capture Workflows to conduct a bid/no-bid review for this opportunity: [GovTribe opportunity link].
Assume we are an SDVOSB facilities operations contractor with healthcare facility experience and building automation system partners. Recommend pursue, no-bid, watch, or partner, and show the evidence behind the call.Use skills in automations
Automations can run GovTribe AI with a selected skill. Choose the skill based on the repeatable work you want the automation to perform.
Use Market Intelligence for recurring market monitors, saved-search delta reports, pipeline reports, recompete watches, buying-pattern checks, acquisition-target scans, or early-signal monitoring. Use Capture Workflows when the recurring run should qualify one opportunity, review one pipeline, or recommend a pursuit-specific action. Use Pricing Data for recurring pricing context or price-to-win evidence. Use Proposal Workflows when a resolved solicitation needs repeated proposal support, response drafting, or template completion. Use Visual Analysis and Document Review when the run should produce KPI cards, trend charts, comparison charts, leaderboards, or document previews that make the results easier to review later.
Connected AI clients can also configure skill-guided automations through GovTribe MCP. Use Create_Automation for a new automation, Search_Automations to find an existing automation, and Update_Automation when the selected skill, prompt, trigger, or cadence needs to change.
