vc-ai-infra-scout

vc-ai-infra-scout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SELAT-AI/selat-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,440 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A venture-capital research tool for discovering early-stage companies, funding rounds, founders, and investor views in AI infrastructure and related areas. AI infrastructure includes systems for training, running, and supporting AI models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scout companies in areas such as GPU systems, decentralized computing, robotics, AI agents, and agent-based payments, then produce a funding and investor-intelligence memo.
Why use it?
It organizes scattered information across company discovery, fundraising, product launches, and investor research. This helps form a broader view of an emerging market than looking at individual companies 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

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.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants to discover early-stage companies, funding rounds, founders, and investor theses across the AI-infrastructure ecosystem. Covers four sub-theses:

  • AI Infrastructure — inference runtimes, GPU orchestration, training stacks, vector/data infra
  • Crypto-AI / Decentralized AI — on-chain AI agents, DePIN-for-compute, distributed GPU/ML
  • Robotics / Embodied AI — robotics foundation models, humanoid/embodied-AI, sim-to-real, actuation/sensor stacks
  • Agentic Payments — agent commerce, x402/stablecoin agent settlement, agentic-payment rails

Workflow

  1. Install: selat skill install vc-ai-infra-scout
  2. Run with thesis override: selat skill run vc-ai-infra-scout --thesis "robotics foundation model" --twitterQuery "robotics foundation model" --fundraisingQuery "robotics startup raised seed" --investorQuery "robotics VC partner" --domain "modal.com"
  3. The skill compiles each of 9 steps into selat-pay calls and returns a JSON response.
  4. Synthesize the 9 steps into a VC intelligence memo (tiered funding map, investor thesis extraction, geographic blindspots, strategic recommendations).

Pipeline Steps

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.
