About this skill
About Quote builder
Quotes with tiers, discounts and taxes built by hand produce mistakes that cost margin or embarrass you in front of a buyer. This skill itemises every line, applies discounts in the order you specify, adds GST or VAT and computes the total, showing each calculation and rounding only at the end. It checks the discount against any approval limit you state and asks whether tax applies before or after the discount when that's unclear. The result is a quote table you can paste into a proposal or send for approval.
Quote builder — example input and the first lines it returns. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
