README (SKILL.md)
Freelancer Bidder
Automatically scan Freelancer.com for matching projects and draft personalized bid proposals.
Capabilities
- Search active projects by keywords/skills
- Filter by budget, project type (fixed/hourly), and recency
- Draft personalized, professional bid proposals
- Track bid history and win rates
- Suggest optimal bid price based on project budget
How to Use
Tell the agent:
- Your skills (e.g., "Python, data scraping, translation")
- Budget range preference
- Tone of proposals (professional / friendly / concise)
Search Projects
Find Freelancer projects for: [your skills]
Budget: $[min]-$[max]
Posted within: last [N] hours
The agent will:
- Fetch matching active projects via Freelancer API / web search
- Rank by relevance and budget
- Present top 5–10 opportunities
Draft a Bid
Draft a bid for project: [project title / URL]
My background: [brief intro]
Tone: professional
The agent will generate a winning proposal including:
- Personalized opening (addresses client's specific need)
- Your relevant experience
- Clear delivery timeline
- Call to action
Track History
Maintain a bids.md log in your workspace:
| Date | Project | Budget | Status |
|------|---------|--------|--------|
Tips for Winning Bids
- Respond fast — first 5 bidders get 60% more views
- Be specific — reference the client's exact problem
- Keep it short — under 150 words for fixed-price jobs
- Show, don't tell — link to similar past work
- Ask one question — shows genuine interest
Workflow Example
User: Find Python scraping jobs under $200 posted today
Agent: [returns 8 matching projects with details]
User: Draft bid for project #3
Agent: [generates personalized 120-word proposal]
User: Submit and log it
Agent: [updates bids.md with entry]
Usage Guidance
Before installing, ask the skill author to clarify: (1) Will the agent actually submit bids on Freelancer on your behalf? If so, what credentials are required and where/how are they stored? (2) If the Freelancer API is used, which endpoints and what auth scope are needed — the skill should declare required env vars explicitly. (3) If scraping is used, confirm compliance with Freelancer's terms and any rate limits. Also note the package metadata inconsistencies (ownerId/version/homepage differ) — request source code or a reputable homepage and prefer only granting credentials with minimal scope (or use a throwaway/test account). If you proceed, monitor what the agent writes to bids.md and avoid providing full account credentials until you verify behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: freelancer-bidder-clawd
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and markdown instructions for a freelancer bidding assistant. It lacks executable code, and the instructions in SKILL.md are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of searching for projects and drafting proposals. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to scan Freelancer.com, draft proposals, and 'submit and log' bids. It reasonably needs only read/search access plus local file writes for a bids.md log. However, the SKILL.md explicitly mentions using the Freelancer API and (in an example) submitting bids, yet the skill declares no required credentials or config for account access. Submitting bids programmatically normally requires authentication; that mismatch is incoherent and should be clarified.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to fetch matching projects via 'Freelancer API / web search', rank results, generate proposals, and maintain a local bids.md. The instructions do not tell the agent to read any unrelated files or secrets, which is good, but they are vague about whether the agent will actually perform automated submissions to Freelancer (which would require account credentials and clearer steps). 'Web search' / scraping is also unspecified (rate limits, user account use, or consent).
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec, no code files to run), so there is no installer or downloaded code to evaluate — lowest install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or primary credential. That is reasonable for read-only web scraping and local logging, but inconsistent with its mentions of using the Freelancer API and submitting bids. If the skill needs to post bids or use authenticated API endpoints, it should explicitly declare which credentials it needs and why. Otherwise there is ambiguity about how submissions would occur and where credentials (if any) would be used or stored.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true and is user-invocable only. It writes a local bids.md as part of its workflow, which is expected and limited in scope. It does not request system-wide or cross-skill config changes.
