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 12d 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 — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fundraising

Scope

Covers

  • Deciding whether to raise venture funding (vs bootstrapping / delaying / alternatives) and articulating the trade-offs
  • Designing a round (amount, timeline, milestone, target investor profile) without pretending to give legal/tax advice
  • Building an investor-ready narrative and a pitch deck outline optimized for first impressions
  • Running the fundraising process as a pipeline (target list, outreach, follow-ups, rejection handling, momentum)
  • Preparing for diligence (data-room checklist + FAQs/objections) and reducing “unknown unknowns”

When to use

  • “Should I raise venture capital or bootstrap?”
  • “Help me build a pitch deck narrative and a strong first slide.”
  • “I need an investor outreach plan and a pipeline tracker.”
  • “I’m starting a pre-seed/seed raise; help me run the process end-to-end.”

When NOT to use

  • You need to build a founder-led sales motion or close your first customers — use founder-sales (this pack raises capital; that pack generates revenue)
  • You want to validate a startup idea before raising — use startup-ideation (validate the idea first, then raise)
  • You need help with presentation delivery, storytelling mechanics, or slide design — use giving-presentations (this pack builds the narrative and deck outline; that pack covers delivery and design)
  • You have a job offer to negotiate (not an investment round) — use negotiating-offers
  • You need legal, tax, or securities advice (term sheets, SAFE/notes, incorporation, compliance) — involve qualified professionals
  • You’re raising grants/donations or structured debt (use a fundraising/grants/debt-specific workflow instead)
  • You only want visual slide design polish with no strategy/process work
  • You’re in an immediate liquidity crisis where the only viable path is emergency financing within days (this skill can help structure messaging, but you should prioritize urgent financial triage with experts)

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Company snapshot: what you build, who it’s for, and why now
  • Stage + traction (or pre-traction proof), plus 1–3 key metrics (even proxies)
  • Team snapshot (founders, key strengths, gaps you’re hiring for)
  • Runway + constraints (cash, time, geography, intro network, fundraising window)
  • Fundraising intent: why raise, target amount (or range), and what milestone it buys

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.
