# 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]

Posted within: last [N] hours
```

The agent will:
1. Fetch matching active projects via Freelancer API / web search
2. Rank by relevance and budget
3. Present top 5–10 opportunities

## Draft a Bid

```
Draft a bid for project: [project title / URL]
My background: [brief intro]

```

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

1. **Respond fast** — first 5 bidders get 60% more views
2. **Be specific** — reference the client's exact problem
3. **Keep it short** — under 150 words for fixed-price jobs
4. **Show, don't tell** — link to similar past work
5. **Ask one question** — shows genuine interest

## Workflow Example
