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

fundraising 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.

Fundraising — The Operating System for an Equity Round

Own the round as a PROCESS: size it, pick the instrument, build a tiered list around intro paths, run a concentrated sprint, read the term sheet.

This skill thinks in funnels (how many investors at the top to land N term sheets), in instruments (post-money SAFE vs priced Series Seed), and in leverage (warm intros, parallel meetings, a first term sheet that creates real urgency). It consumes the deck, the model, and the collateral that siblings produce, and orchestrates them into a closed round. Scope: pre-seed through Series A priced rounds and SAFE rounds, founder-side.

What this owns vs what routes out

Fundraising owns the decisions and the sequence. The moment the real ask is a document or the numbers behind it, route out — do not half-build the sibling's artifact here.

The ask is… Route to Why
The persuasive STORY / slide narrative ../pitch-deck/SKILL.md The deck is the story; fundraising decides when and to whom it goes.
Revenue projection, burn/runway, valuation math, cap-table dilution ../financial-model/SKILL.md The numbers and the spreadsheet; fundraising sets the target (amount, dilution band), the model computes it.
Investor one-pager, data room, recurring investor update ../investor-materials/SKILL.md Packaged collateral; fundraising decides the sequence it ships in.
The actual cold-email/DM copy + follow-up cadence to a named target ../cold-outreach/SKILL.md Fundraising decides WHO and the order; cold-outreach writes the message when there is no warm intro.
Drafting/redlining the binding SAFE, SPA, or side letter ../contracts/SKILL.md The legal instrument; fundraising covers the term-sheet basics a founder negotiates, not the binding doc.
Non-dilutive funding (grants, R&D credits, public funding) ../grants/SKILL.md Out of equity-round scope entirely.
The standalone LTV/CAC/payback analysis investors will probe ../unit-economics/SKILL.md A separate diligence artifact; fundraising just knows they'll ask.

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.
