What it does
Yc Apply is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Prepare, review, and package Y Combinator application answers and founder-video notes using the live form and verified founder facts. Use for a YC application, requested interview practice, or reapplication; not general fundraising or unrelated decks.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 24 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/form-spec-summer-2026.md`, `assets/research-competitive-landscape.md` and `assets/research-founder-footprint.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Video and podcast notes, Fundraising and pitch decks and Interview preparation. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.
When your agent uses it
- A YC application
- Requested interview practice
- Not general fundraising
- Unrelated decks
Example prompts
- “/yc-apply”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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/, which the agent can run.
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
Yc Apply loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 580 words (~1,267 tokens).
“Complete the requested application task using the founder's facts and the current YC form. Work can start with one answer, a review, video notes, a submission pack, or reapplication; it need not traverse every coaching phase.”
