recent-funding-rounds

recent-funding-rounds is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SELAT-AI/selat-skills. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,572 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for finding recent news reports about companies that raised money, such as seed or Series A funding. It searches by industry or topic and returns article details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find recent funding rounds in a sector, such as artificial intelligence or fintech, and review the reporting source, publication date, and deal details.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search many news sites manually. Because the results are articles rather than a complete funding database, funding dates, round types, and amounts may need checking in the articles.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

recent-funding-rounds 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 22d 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.

When To Use

Use for recently published news coverage of startup funding rounds within a clear topic and relative time window. The skill makes one bounded news search and returns up to ten candidate articles for evidence-based deal-flow review.

This is not a structured funding database. It does not guarantee that every article describes a newly closed round, and it cannot prove a company, stage, amount, or announcement date beyond what the returned article supports. Use a dedicated structured-data capability when the user needs exhaustive coverage or database-grade fields.

Do not use this skill for investment execution, personalized financial advice, private-contact discovery, or outreach.

Workflow

  1. Collect both required inputs:

    • focus: a concrete funding-news topic such as artificial intelligence, fintech Series A, or rounds over $10M. The query appends startup funding round announced, so do not repeat "startup".
    • freshness: one of pd, pw, pm, or py, representing the past 24 hours, 7 days, 31 days, or 365 days respectively.

    Do not silently choose a sector or time window. If either is absent, ask the user. Treat these as rolling publication windows, not exact calendar periods.

  2. Install the vetted recipe:

    selat skill install recent-funding-rounds
    
  3. Run the free live verification before any wallet setup or paid call:

    SELAT_ROUTER_URL=https://router.selat.ai \
      selat skill verify ~/.config/selat/skills/recent-funding-rounds \
      --focus "artificial intelligence" \
      --freshness "pw" \
      --live-probe
    
  4. Show the user the live quote (about $0.03675 on 2026-10-04), the $0.050 step cap, and the one-call scope. The top-level maxAmount is only the per-step fallback cap, not a full-run cap; with one step they coincide. Explain that a paid application error may still charge. Wait for explicit approval of the expected cost and maximum session cap.

Changes

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.
