Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

openclaw-thumbtack-draft
A reusable openclaw skill that drafts replies to inbound Thumbtack leads for solo home service pros — designed to win the conversation in the first 60 seconds.
This is the methodology layer behind Novanest Pro, my AI system that runs a real US home services business solo from Barcelona. The production system has live API credentials, real prices, and customer-specific tuning that aren't in this repo. What's in this repo is the structural pattern: how to think about a Thumbtack reply, what wins, and what kills the deal.
If you're a solo service pro, an AI builder working on lead-conversion tools, or just curious how a multi-agent system handles real customer messages — this is the skill spec.
What's in this repo
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
SKILL.md | The full skill specification: orchestrator pattern, pricing framework structure, the proven reply formula, hard rules, mid-conversation rules |
example_replies.md | Worked examples of the formula applied to common lead types (sanitized — no real customers) |

What's NOT in this repo
- Actual prices. The production system uses task-based pricing tuned to Hovo's specific business and California market. The structure of the framework is in
SKILL.md, but the numbers are placeholders. Plug in your own. - Internal API endpoints / tokens. Removed.
- Customer data or specific lead history. Removed.
- The Python backend (FastAPI, SQLite, webhook intake, dispatch pipeline). That's a separate, private codebase. See novanest-pro for the architecture overview.
Why publish this
I built Novanest Pro by analyzing 100+ real Thumbtack lead conversations and reverse-engineering what made some win and others lose. The pattern isn't proprietary — it's verifiable craft. Any pro who reads this skill spec can apply it manually or wire it into their own system.
The thing that's hard to copy is doing it consistently in under 60 seconds for every lead, automatically, while you're on the ladder doing the actual work. That's what the production system handles. The methodology in this skill is what the production system encodes.
Use it as an openclaw skill
If you're running openclaw:
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/
git clone https://github.com/nova-novanest/openclaw-thumbtack-draft.git thumbtack-draft
The SKILL.md frontmatter will be auto-detected. Tune the prices in the pricing table to match your own market, plug in your base location for the travel-surcharge step, and you're ready to draft.
Use it as a standalone reference
SKILL.md is just markdown. You can read it, copy it into your own playbook, or adapt the principles to a totally different lead source (Yelp, Angi, Google Local Services). The orchestrator pattern, the "match the description length" rule, the "answer the literal question first" rule, the "never offer free on-site estimate" rule — none of those depend on Thumbtack specifically. They're generic conversion patterns.
