vc-industry-research

vc-industry-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zebbern/claude-code-guide. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-reporting guide for analysing industries and investment markets in a venture-capital or private-equity style. It supports reports about technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors in formats such as PDF, DOCX, or PPTX.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for sector deep-dives, investment memos, market reports, financing-history reviews, and research documents based on uploaded reference material.
Why use it?
Industry research requires organising market information, company activity, funding, and investment history into a consistent report. This provides a structured way to produce that analysis.

About the project

Claude Code Guide is a reference collection for configuring and using Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. Developers use it to learn commands, skills, agents, MCP, automation, security, integrations, and troubleshooting. Its catalogue add-ons provide many of the documented skills and agents.

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-industry-research 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 yesterday.

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.

Primary Market Industry Research Report

Generate professional industry research reports in an institutional primary-market (PE/VC) research style.

Reference Source

  • Type: Uploaded artifact (PDF)
  • Reference File Type: PDF
  • Languages: Chinese or English (auto-detect from user query; default to user's language)

Supported Outputs

  • PDF (default)
  • DOCX
  • PPTX (if explicitly requested)

Default output: PDF. If user explicitly requests DOCX or PPTX, honor that request.

Workflow

  1. Understand the research scope from user query: target industry, sub-topics, depth, page count
  2. Determine report style based on user preference or task context:
    • Style A (Deep Discussion): Opinion-heavy, TMT/tech focus, numbered chapters (01, 02...), no TOC
    • Style B (Traditional Sector): Data-heavy, many charts and tables, TOC with multi-level numbering
  3. Plan content structure using the appropriate structure contract (see references)
  4. Research and gather data using web search and data source tools as needed
  5. Review investment & financing history for the sector: search for key funding rounds, deal sizes, lead investors, IPO/exit events, and capital flow trends in the target industry. Sources include Crunchbase, PitchBook, CB Insights, IT桔子, 烯牛数据, and public deal announcements
  6. Generate the report following the style and structure contracts precisely
  7. Review for completeness: ensure all exhibits are numbered, sources cited, and formatting consistent

Style Selection Guide

Choose the report style based on context:

Indicator Use Style A (Deep Discussion) Use Style B (Traditional)
Sector TMT, AI, Software, SaaS Consumer, Healthcare, Industrials, Materials
Tone Opinion-forward, thesis-driven Data-driven, objective
Charts Moderate (native charts, benchmark tables for AI research) Dense (pie charts, bar charts, line charts)
TOC No Yes, with 3-level hierarchy + dot-leaders + page numbers
Chapter numbers 01, 02, 03... in red/dark-red 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2.1... in black
Page count 15-25 pages typical 30-60 pages typical

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.
