grant-discover

grant-discover is a skill for Claude Code from ddanntheman/GrantForge. It costs 63 tokens per session (723 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for finding open grants that fit an organization’s profile, such as its legal type, location, programs, and budget. Grants are funding opportunities that organizations apply for.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for current funding for a specific organization, program, or project, provided the organization profile in .grantforge/ has been set up.
Why use it?
Searching federal, state, local, private, and corporate funders can produce many irrelevant results. This workflow ranks opportunities by how well they match the organization.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

grant-discover scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Grant Discovery

Search systematically for open opportunities the organization can plausibly win, and rank them by fit, not by volume.

Requires the .grantforge/ profile; if missing, run grant-setup first. Read profile/organization.md before searching — entity type, service area, program areas, and budget size drive everything.

Search strategy

Run web searches across these source categories, adapted to the org's entity type and geography:

  1. Federal: Grants.gov (search by keyword and eligibility category), agency forecast pages for the 2-3 agencies most aligned with the org's work (e.g., ED, HHS, NSF, NEA, DOJ, USDA, EPA).
  2. State and local: the state's grants portal, relevant state agency pages, county/city community development and health department pages for the service area.
  3. Private foundations: community foundations serving the org's geography, national foundations whose published priorities match the org's programs, and funders of peer organizations (search "[peer org] received grant" and funder annual reports).
  4. Corporate: corporate giving programs of major employers in the service area, plus national corporate foundations aligned with the program area.

Verify every candidate on the funder's own site: deadline still open, eligibility confirmed, award range stated. Discard anything that cannot be verified as currently open — stale listings are endemic in grant databases.

Filtering and ranking

Apply hard filters first (entity type eligible, geography eligible, deadline realistically achievable given application complexity). Then score remaining candidates 1-5 on:

  • Program fit: does the funder pay for what the org already does?
  • Size fit: award range appropriate to org budget (an org with a $500k budget rarely wins a $5M award, and a $2,500 grant may not repay the effort of a 20-page federal application).
  • Winnability: number of awards, geographic preference, whether the funder has funded similar orgs, incumbency patterns.
  • Strategic value: general operating > program > project restricted; multi-year > one-time; funders who renew.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
