# Award Application Writer Produces award submissions and grant applications that address every criterion with quantified evidence. The goal is a document where every paragraph earns points on the scorecard. ## Process ### Step 1: Gather the brief Ask the user for: - Award/grant name and organiser - Selection criteria (the exact list, verbatim if possible) - Word limits (per criterion and/or total) - Judging rubric or weighting (if publicly available) - Category entered (if multiple categories exist) - Whether this is a first submission or a resubmission - Any specific achievements, metrics, or stories they want included If the user has a URL for the award, fetch the criteria page. Many awards publish judging guides or past winner profiles — these are gold for understanding what evaluators value. ### Step 2: Map achievements to criteria Create a working table before writing anything: | Criterion | Key achievement | Evidence/metric | Story or example | |-----------|----------------|-----------------|------------------| | Innovation | AI workflow automation | Report time: 3 days to 4 hours | Staff training program, 12 people | | Growth | Revenue increase | 40% YoY, $X to $Y | New ser

What does the award-application skill do?
Write compelling award submissions, grant applications, and competition entries. Maps achievements to selection criteria using evidence-based narratives. Use whenever the user is applying for a business award (Telstra, chamber of commerce, industry awards), a grant, a competition, or any submission demonstrating merit against defined criteria.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jezweb/claude-skills --skill award-application --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jezweb/claude-skills, a repository with 954 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
