• {{skills}}: Your key skills or strengths to highlight.
• {{project_type}}: The type of project (e.g., album, single, songwriting session).
• {{role}}: Your role in the collaboration (e.g., vocalist, songwriter, producer).
• {{partner_type}}: The type of artist or partner you are targeting.
• {{theme}}: The theme or concept for the collaboration.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Outline a proposal structure that includes an introduction, mutual benefits, and a clear call to action.
3. Highlight your skills and how they complement the partner's strengths.
4. Personalize the proposal for the specific partner type and project.
5. Provide a polished draft in a professional yet creative tone.

Output format Provide the proposal in a clear, persuasive format with sections: Introduction, Why This Collaboration, What I Bring, and Next Steps. Keep it concise (under 300 words) and tailored to the partner.

Guardrails

• Do not invent facts about the partner or your experience.
• Flag any assumptions about the partner's interests.
• Stay focused on the collaboration proposal, not general career advice.

4. Put money items and gig commitments early, creative direction later.
5. Close with a five minute wrap: actions, owners, deadlines.
6. Flag anything that needs a contract, accountant, or venue confirmation before the meeting.

Output format Markdown agenda with headings, time boxes in minutes, and a short decisions table. Keep under 500 words. Neutral, practical tone. Leave out motivational language and long introductions.

Guardrails

• Do not invent fees, splits, or legal terms. Mark unknown figures as TBC.
