vc-ai-infra-scout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SELAT-AI/selat-openclaw-skills. It costs 141 tokens per session (1,634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for finding early-stage companies building AI infrastructure, robotics, decentralized AI, or agent-based payments for investment review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a shortlist of potential pre-seed or seed investments, understand the investors leading recent rounds, enrich promising leads, and draft outreach notes. Its research steps make paid API calls using the user's USDC wallet.
Why use it?
It gathers leads and fundraising information from several public sources, then helps remove duplicates, rank signals, and identify companies that may not have raised money yet.

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

vc-ai-infra-scout 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

vc-ai-infra-scout

Source AI-infrastructure deals before the round. This skill runs a vetted multi-step pipeline that discovers emerging companies and founders from Hacker News, Product Hunt, the open web, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn, reads recent pre-seed/seed fundraising announcements, distills the live thesis of the funds leading those rounds, then enriches the top lead. You (the agent) do the judgment work around the paid data: dedupe across sources, rank by signal, flag teams that have not raised yet, and produce a shortlist with links plus a suggested outreach note.

The pipeline is a SELAT skill: a declarative, vetted recipe of paid API calls (no API keys, no signups) settled in USDC across multiple payment rails — direct Circle x402, routed MPP, and routed x402 on Base. The selat CLI resolves the vetted endpoints, auto-detects each step's rail, and prints a per-rail receipt summary.

Cost — read this first

  • Every step is a real paid API call in USDC from the user's own Circle Agent Wallet (MPC self-custody — SELAT never holds keys or funds).
  • Prices and spend limits live in the underlying SELAT skill, not here — the live HTTP 402 quote from selat skill verify/run is the price source of truth, so this wrapper doesn't restate dollar figures (they'd only drift).
  • Always dry-run first (Step 1 — free, no wallet), show the user the real quoted prices, and get their OK before any wallet setup or paid run.
  • Never ask for, paste, or handle a private key. Wallet auth is handled by the CLI's Circle integration.

Step 0 — get the CLI (free, no account)

If selat isn't on PATH yet, install it — one npm package, no signup, no credentials:

selat --version || npm install -g @selat-ai/selat-cli

(macOS Skills UI users can also install it from this skill's dependency prompt.) Installing the CLI creates nothing money-related — no wallet, no account, no keys.

Step 1 — dry run first, before any wallet setup

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.
