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 8d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deal Sourcing

Why this exists

Generic "sourcing" prompts produce a list of company names and end there. This skill closes the loop: discovery → durable mandate/candidates → contact graph → reviewable outreach copy → deal conversion. Persistence happens before contact capture, so a missing connector never loses the analyst's market map.

Pipeline

Thesis routing

Classify thesis intent before starting this one-off pipeline. Requests to create, list, update, deactivate, or review matches for a standing sourcing mandate must go directly to the corresponding thesis MCP operation; do not run discovery, create a watchlist, persist candidates, import contacts, or draft outreach first. A thesis is a long-lived sourcing mandate, not a SWOT or strategy framework.

1. Discovery

  • Use mcp__ololand__search_company_discovery with mode: "discover", company_scope: "private", and explicit filters (sector, geography, size, ownership type if PE-relevant).
  • Cap initial set to 25 per run. Quality > quantity. If user wants more, run again with refined criteria.

2. Durable mandate and candidates

  • Create or reuse a materially identical watchlist with mcp__ololand__create_watchlist.
  • Pass the selected company-discovery result objects unchanged to mcp__ololand__save_sourcing_candidates, with watchlist_id set to the created/reused watchlist ID and candidates set to the selected result objects.
  • This is the required persistence step. The tool is idempotent and preserves discovery snapshots, source systems, evidence references, score/rationale, workflow stage, and later deal-conversion lineage.

3. Contact capture

  • Inspect the company-discovery result for returned executives and actual identity evidence: email, phone number, or LinkedIn URL.
  • Pick at most one contact. Priority: founder > CEO > CFO > head of corp dev.
  • When supported evidence exists, import it through mcp__ololand__openclaw_import_contacts using source_system: "company_discovery". This is the tenant-scoped relationship graph and central suppression/dedupe boundary.
  • Link the returned contact to the candidate with mcp__ololand__update_sourcing_candidate, passing the same watchlist_id, the saved candidate match_id, and advancing it to enriched.
  • When no supported identity evidence exists, leave the candidate shortlisted and report that contact enrichment remains outstanding.
