> Ready-made GovTribe playbooks for AI agents: research who wins federal and state/local work, scan federal opportunities with GovTribe AI, regulatory and policy watch for GovTribe. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use GovTribe well and safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/govtribe/skills/essentials.md): Sets the working rules for the GovTribe connector: confirm the account and credit state, pick the right search for federal, state and local, opportunity, award or forecast work, and ask before changing anything in the workspace.
- [Research who wins federal and state/local work](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/govtribe/skills/award-history-research.md): Looks back at completed awards, IDVs, vehicles and sub-awards to show incumbents, vehicle gatekeeping and subcontracting patterns for a market. It asks before changing anything in your GovTribe workspace.
- [Scan federal opportunities with GovTribe AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/govtribe/skills/federal-opportunity-scan.md): Builds a ranked shortlist of open and upcoming federal contract and grant opportunities for your capabilities, combining solicitations and forecasts and ranking them by fit and deadline. It asks for your target profile first and never changes your saved pipeline.
- [Regulatory and policy watch for GovTribe](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/govtribe/skills/regulatory-and-policy-watch.md): Builds a dated digest of government files, defense program updates and procurement news for a sector or NAICS/PSC category, ranked by business impact. It asks before saving any alert or changing the account.
- [Build a vendor or contact profile in GovTribe](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/govtribe/skills/vendor-and-contact-profile.md): Builds a briefing on a government company or buyer from GovTribe records, covering capabilities, recent awards, relevant people and recent press. It confirms the right entity first and will not change your saved records without asking.

### What is a GovTribe agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each GovTribe skill describes one job, which GovTribe tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the GovTribe skills change anything on their own?

5 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in GovTribe.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect GovTribe; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the GovTribe MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the GovTribe MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The GovTribe MCP setup guide covers every client.
