What it does

Vc Curated Match is an agent skill from Varnan-Tech/opendirectory. Accepts a product description and URL to algorithmically identify relevant Venture Capital investors targeting exactly that stage, industry, and niche based on a curated static dataset.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `data/vc_funds.json` and `evals/ai-b2b-saas-seed.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Fundraising and pitch decks and Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent Skills built for Founders who hate Marketing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks
  • Tasks that involve Copywriting

Example prompts

  • “Use the vc-curated-match skill to accept a product description and URL to algorithmically identify relevant Venture Capital investors targeting…”
  • “/vc-curated-match”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm Input
  2. Fetch Matches & Generate Report
  3. Present Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62e437a. 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 4 files 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

Vc Curated Match loads about 378 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378

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.

VC Curated Match Skill

Identify targeted VC funds based on a product's description and URL.


When to Trigger This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Find investors for their startup or open-source project.
  • Get a list of relevant VC funds by stage, industry, or space.
  • Match their product built with specific technologies to investor theses.

Step 1: Confirm Input

Ask the user for the product description and the URL. Optional parameters:

  • Stage: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A (--stage)
  • Output: e.g., vc-matches.md (--output)

Step 2: Fetch Matches & Generate Report

Run the orchestrator script to handle context fetching, VC matching, and Markdown generation in one command.

bash
python scripts/run.py --description "A fast rust-based web framework" --url "https://example.com"

For custom requests, append overrides:

bash
python scripts/run.py \
  --description "..." \
  --url "..." \
  [--stage Seed] \
  [--output matched-investors.md]

Step 3: Present Results

Summarize the closest matches returned. Mention high-confidence matches explicitly. Provide the output path.


Dependencies

Standard Python 3.10+ library (no external packages required).
