Build Proposal Generation Agent manually.

No PAC CLI, YAML import, or plugin architect. Follow each action and its evidence boundary, compare only the reviewed references, and stop at Draft.

Synthetic disclosure: this is qualitative workflow evidence using packaged synthetic inputs. It is not a customer KPI or a live-system result.

Troubleshooting

A screenshot or browserfilm frame is missing

Do not invent, recreate, or substitute an image. Keep the step open until its actual evidence is captured and reviewed. Remove --allow-pending only after all workshop evidence gates are met.

A knowledge file is still processing

Wait for ingestion to finish before Preview. A partial answer is not evidence.

A skill upload fails

Use the linked raw SKILL.md. Fix the reviewed source deliberately; do not silently skip the action.

The model differs from Easy mode

Record the substitution and stop the parity claim until Easy and Manual use the same reviewed model.

The Preview answer misses an identifier

Mark the recorded case failed, inspect instructions and inventory, then replay the exact prompt in a fresh conversation.

Should I publish?

No. Keep the same owned manual agent in Draft. Do not choose Publish as part of this tutorial.
