# Buyer Quote Comparison Assistant

**Folder:** Procurement / Buyer / Purchasing Agent / Pricing & Quote Assistant

## What does it do?

A Buyer collects quotes from suppliers and must compare them fairly across price, terms, and lead time — tedious when quotes differ in format.

This agent compares them: it normalizes quotes to compare like-for-like, flags the best value and any red flags, and surfaces negotiation room — so the buyer decides quickly and well.

## Benefits

- Quotes compared apples-to-apples.
- Best value flagged.
- Red flags surfaced.
- Negotiation room identified.
- Faster, better decisions.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Sheets/email for quotes, a procurement tool.
• Skill — a quote-comparison skill with normalization logic.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Invoke it ("compare these supplier quotes"). It returns a normalized comparison and the best value.
