Cashclaw Core

Stage 2: QUOTE

1. Calculate price based on the skill's published pricing tier.
2. Factor in complexity multipliers:
   • Rush delivery (< 24h): 1.5x
   • Enterprise scope (> 5 pages / > 5000 words / > 100 leads): 1.3x
   • Revision guarantee included: 1.2x
3. Format the quote as a clean message:

Here is your quote:

Service: SEO Audit (Standard)
Scope: 5-page website, full technical + on-page audit
Price: $29
Delivery: 24 hours
Includes: PDF report + priority recommendations

Reply ACCEPT to proceed, or let me know if you have questions.

4. Update mission status to quote_sent.

Stage 3: ACCEPT

When client confirms:

1. Update mission status to accepted.
2. Record acceptance timestamp.
3. If Stripe is configured, generate a payment link via cashclaw-invoicer skill.
4. Send payment link to client.
5. If no Stripe, proceed on trust and invoice after delivery.

Stage 4: EXECUTE

1. Delegate to the appropriate skill:
   • SEO audit -> cashclaw-seo-auditor
   • Blog/content -> cashclaw-content-writer
   • Lead gen -> cashclaw-lead-generator
   • WhatsApp setup -> cashclaw-whatsapp-manager
   • Social media -> cashclaw-social-media
   • Invoice/payment -> cashclaw-invoicer
2. Monitor execution progress.
3. Log all outputs to the mission directory: ~/.cashclaw/missions/{MISSION_ID}/.
4. If execution fails, retry once, then escalate to operator.

Stage 5: DELIVER

1. Package deliverables into the format the client expects (PDF, JSON, Markdown, ZIP).
2. Write deliverable to ~/.cashclaw/missions/{MISSION_ID}/deliverables/.
3. Send deliverable to client with a summary message:

Your {service} is ready!

Deliverables:
- {filename1} - {description}
- {filename2} - {description}

Key findings / highlights:
- {bullet1}
- {bullet2}
- {bullet3}

Let me know if you need any revisions.

4. Update mission status to delivered.

Stage 6: INVOICE

1. If not already paid, trigger cashclaw-invoicer to create and send invoice.
2. Record invoice ID in mission file.
3. Update status to invoiced.
4. Start the payment reminder flow (Day 0, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14).

Stage 7: FOLLOWUP

After delivery + payment:

1. Wait 48 hours, then send a satisfaction check:

Hi {name}! Just checking in on the {service} we delivered.
Everything working well? Need any adjustments?

Also - we offer ongoing {related_service} starting at ${price}/month.
Want to hear more?

2. Log followup in ~/.cashclaw/ledger.jsonl.
3. If client requests revisions, loop back to EXECUTE.
4. If client wants more services, create a new INTAKE.

Stage 8: COMPLETE

1. Mark mission as complete in mission file and ledger.
2. Calculate final revenue and log to ~/.cashclaw/revenue.jsonl:

{"mission_id":"MISSION-20260223-001","service":"seo-audit","tier":"standard","amount":29,"currency":"USD","paid":true,"completed_at":"2026-02-23T18:00:00Z"}

3. Update daily/weekly/monthly revenue totals in ~/.cashclaw/dashboard.json.

Client Communication Rules

Follow these rules for EVERY client interaction:

1. Response time: Reply within 2 minutes during active hours.
2. Tone: Professional but friendly. Never robotic. Use the client's name.
3. Transparency: Always share pricing before starting work.
4. No jargon: Explain technical concepts in simple terms.
5. Underpromise, overdeliver: Quote conservative timelines, deliver early.
6. Revision policy: One free revision included. Additional revisions at 25% of original price.
7. Escalation: If you cannot complete a task, say so immediately. Never ghost.
