README (SKILL.md)

Platform Selection

Goal	Best Platform	Why
Long-term contracts	Upwork	Escrow, hourly tracking
Quick productized gigs	Fiverr	SEO-driven discovery
Budget projects	Freelancer.com	Lower fees, contests
Premium talent	Toptal	Vetted top 3%

Winning Proposals (Upwork/Freelancer)

Structure: Hook → Plan → Proof → CTA (150-250 words)

Two things stood out: [specific_1] and [specific_2].

My approach:
• [Step 1 with acceptance criteria]
• [Step 2 with deliverable]  
• [Step 3 with timeline]

Recently, I [achievement] for [client type], resulting in [metric]. Sample: [link]

Phase 1: [deliverables] by [date] — [price]. Quick call to align?

Never: generic intros, vague timelines, no samples, underbidding drastically.

Client Red Flags

Reject immediately:

Unverified payment + no hire history
"Work for exposure/equity only"
Requests to move off-platform before contract
Asks for free test work upfront
Unrealistic pay claims

Pricing Strategy

New (0-3 months): 15-20% below market, focus on reviews
Established (3-12 months): Market rate, raise 10% every 3-5 projects
Expert (12+ months): Premium pricing, selective projects

Formula: (Target Annual ÷ 1500 billable hours) × 1.25 = minimum hourly

AI Disclosure Requirements

EU (AI Act): Mandatory disclosure of AI-generated content to clients. US: No federal mandate, but FTC prohibits deceptive AI claims. All platforms: ToS prohibit full automation — human must review/approve all proposals and deliverables.

For platform-specific details, see platforms.md. For legal deep-dive, see legal.md.

Usage Guidance

This skill is an offline advisory guide (no code, no installs, no credentials) and appears coherent with its stated purpose. Before relying on it: (1) treat the legal sections as general guidance and consult a lawyer for binding advice, (2) do not use the guidance to automate proposal submission or circumvent platform ToS—manually review and submit as recommended, and (3) if you enable autonomous agent behavior elsewhere, ensure it cannot post to freelance platforms or move funds without explicit human approval.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: freelance Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle consists solely of informational markdown files and metadata. There are no executable scripts, no attempts at prompt injection to subvert the AI agent's intended purpose, and no indicators of malicious activity such as data exfiltration, remote code execution, or persistence mechanisms. The content provides guidance on freelancing, including legal and platform-specific compliance, and even warns against fraudulent activities, aligning with a benign educational purpose.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The name/description (freelance platform navigation, proposals, pricing, vetting, legal) match the SKILL.md, platforms.md, and legal.md content. The skill requests no binaries, env vars, or config paths—there is no mismatch between claimed capabilities and required resources.

✓ Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are purely advisory (how to craft proposals, pricing guidance, platform-specific rules, and disclosure/legal notes). They reference only the included markdown files (platforms.md, legal.md) and do not instruct reading unrelated system files, accessing credentials, or contacting external endpoints.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is present. This is instruction-only, so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk during install—low install risk.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no requests for secrets or unrelated service tokens; the scope of access is proportional to an advisory guide.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no install-time persistence. Model invocation is allowed (disable-model-invocation is false), which is the platform default; that alone is not concerning and is not combined with other red flags here.

How to Use
