Sow Create

SOW Generator — Claude Code Skill

A Claude Code skill that turns a short project description into a complete Scope of Work (SOW) and Level of Effort (LOE) summary for professional services engagements.

Overview

Writing a SOW by hand is slow, inconsistent, and easy to get wrong — hours missed, resource types mis-assigned, formatting that doesn't line up with the downstream quoting system. This skill produces two deliverables from a single prompt:

• A Word (.docx) document containing Project Summary, Assumptions, Exclusions, Customer Responsibilities, and a fully numbered task list with time estimates
• An Excel (.xlsx) LOE summary that groups hours by resource type (Project Engineer 1, Project Engineer 2, Network Engineer), with subtotals and a grand total

The contents of the SOW Word docx file is copy/pasted into a quote using CPQ.

Key features

**Structured output built around the real workflow.** The Assumptions, Exclusions, and Customer Responsibilities sections use plain line breaks — no bullets, no numbering — so content pastes cleanly into the downstream quoting system without reformatting.

**Resource-type-aware LOE breakdown.** Hours are split by the kind of engineer who actually does the work: remote and configuration work to a Server Level engineer, on-site deployment to a Desktop Level engineer, infrastructure work to a Network Engineer. Project management is intentionally excluded because PM hours are tracked separately.

**Clarifying questions before generation.** The skill asks for missing context up front and flags known compatibility issues or product limitations *before* producing the SOW — rather than guessing and producing a document that gets thrown out.

**Microsoft Learn MCP integration.** When the project touches Microsoft products (Intune, Azure, Windows, M365, etc.), steps are validated against official Microsoft documentation, avoiding outdated or invented procedures.

**Consistent, contract-ready formatting.** Arial 1
