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

deal-sourcing 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 9d 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.

Deal Sourcing

Workflow

This skill follows a 3-step sourcing pipeline:

Step 1: Discover Companies

Research and identify potential target companies based on the user's criteria:

  • Sector/industry focus: Ask the user what space they're looking in (e.g., "B2B SaaS in healthcare", "industrial services in the Southeast")
  • Deal parameters: Revenue range, EBITDA range, growth profile, geography, ownership type (founder-owned, PE-backed, corporate carve-out)
  • Sources: Use web search to find companies matching criteria. Look at industry reports, conference attendee lists, trade publications, and competitor landscapes
  • Output: A shortlist of companies with: name, description, estimated revenue/size, location, founder/CEO name, website, and why they fit the thesis

Step 2: CRM Check

Before outreach, check if the company or founder already exists in the firm's CRM:

  • Search the user's email (Gmail) for prior correspondence with the company or founder
  • Search Slack for any internal mentions or prior discussions about the target
  • Ask the user: "Have you or your team had any prior contact with [Company]?"
  • Flag any existing relationships, prior passes, or known context
  • Output: For each company, note: "New" (no prior contact), "Existing" (prior correspondence found — summarize), or "Previously Passed" (if evidence of a prior pass)

Step 3: Draft Founder Outreach

Draft personalized cold emails to founders/CEOs:

  • Tone: Professional but warm. Not overly formal — founders respond better to genuine, concise outreach
  • Structure:
    1. Brief intro — who you are and your firm (ask user for their firm intro if not known)
    2. Why this company caught your attention — reference something specific (product, market position, growth)
    3. What you're looking for — partnership, not just a transaction
    4. Soft ask — "Would you be open to a brief conversation?"
  • Personalization: Reference the company's specific product, recent news, or market position. Never use generic templates
  • Length: 4-6 sentences max. Founders are busy
  • Voice matching: If the user has sent prior outreach emails, study them to match their tone and style. Search Gmail for "sent" emails with keywords like "reaching out", "introduction", "partnership" to find examples
