# Writing Past Performance Build the past performance write-ups: the evidence that the offeror has done work like this before and done it well. Federal evaluators assess past performance for three things (recency, relevancy, and quality) and they assess relevancy strictly, against the current requirement. A past performance volume that lists impressive contracts without proving they resemble *this* work earns far less than the contracts deserve. This skill writes to the three tests. ## When to use this skill Use this skill to develop the past performance volume or past performance citations for a federal proposal. It works from a library of the offeror's (and teaming partners') prior contracts. It does not write key-personnel experience — that is `developing-key-personnel`. Past performance is about *organizational* performance on prior contracts. ## Inputs **Required:** - The solicitation's past performance instructions (Section L) and evaluation criteria (Section M) — they define recency, relevancy, the reference count and format, and how quality is judged. - A past performance library in `source/` — the prior contracts available to cite, with their facts (customer, value, period, scope) and any performance records (CPARS ratings, PPQs, award fees, metrics). **Preferred upstream artifacts:** - `10-compliance-matrix.md`: the past performance requirement rows. - `05-win-strategy.md`: past performance is often a major proof source for win themes; coordinate.
