What it does

Investor Update Generator is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Validate a monthly investor update against a rubric of strong-update sections (transparency, decision-relevance, specific asks). Use before sending a monthly investor update or setting a fundraise communication cadence.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/investor_update_template.md`, `references/what_makes_good_updates.md` and `scripts/investor_update_validator.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks and Quizzes and assessments. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks
  • Tasks that involve Quizzes and assessments

Example prompts

  • “/investor-update-generator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Draft your update as update.md
  2. Run: python scripts/investor_update_validator.py update.md
  3. Address any missing sections; aim for the rubric score > 80

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Investor Update Generator loads about 874 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~874
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Investor Update Generator

Validate a draft monthly investor update against a rubric of what makes them work — and provide a starting template if you don't have one yet.


Keywords

investor update, monthly update, founder update, investor communication, fundraise, lead investor, board, KPIs, asks


Clarify First

Before generating the update, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Stage & cadence — early-stage monthly vs later-stage quarterly changes which sections the rubric expects
  • This period's metrics — the same defined set every month; re-defining metrics signals dishonest reporting
  • Specific asks — what you need from investors (intros, hires, advice); the highest-leverage section
  • Bad news / risks — strong updates lead with these, so they must be surfaced, not buried

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.


Quick Start

  1. Draft your update as update.md
  2. Run: python scripts/investor_update_validator.py update.md
  3. Address any missing sections; aim for the rubric score > 80

OR start from scratch with assets/investor_update_template.md.


Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Monthly Update Production
  1. First of month: pull metrics dashboard, last update, current asks
  2. Draft against assets/investor_update_template.md
  3. Validate: python scripts/investor_update_validator.py update.md
  4. Send within 5 business days of month-end

Time Estimate: 1-2 hours/month.

Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less
Workflow 2: Update Cadence Establishment
  1. Read references/what_makes_good_updates.md
  2. Decide cadence: monthly is standard for early-stage; quarterly for later-stage
  3. Pick distribution: investors only, or extended (advisors, helpful operators)
  4. Commit publicly — once you start, don't skip months

Time Estimate: 1 week to set up; recurring monthly thereafter.


Tools

investor_update_validator.py

Scans an update markdown file for the structural sections of a strong update and scores it.

bash
python scripts/investor_update_validator.py update.md
python scripts/investor_update_validator.py update.md --json

Reference Guides

  • references/what_makes_good_updates.md — What separates good investor updates from bad

Templates

  • assets/investor_update_template.md — Monthly update template

Best Practices

  • Send the bad news first. Investors notice when they only hear the good.
  • Asks specific. "Help with sales" is too vague; "Intros to VPs of Engineering at SaaS companies 100-1000 employees in NA" is actionable.
  • Cadence > perfection. A consistent OK update beats a perfect annual one.
  • Same metrics every month. Defining and re-defining metrics signals dishonest reporting.
  • One page (or one screen). Past two screens, attention drops.
