About
Agent Skills from a VC is a pack of five playbooks by Paul Klay, a venture partner at Begin Capital, written from the workflows he uses to research companies, reach decision-makers and build relationships with customers, partners and investors. Each skill interviews you briefly, researches where it can, and hands back working documents rather than advice. What you can do with it - Investor Warm Intros: match your company to funds' current theses, get a ranked shortlist of 5–10 investors with sourced partners and portfolio companies, and a warm-intro plan with message drafts - VC Terms Review: check a term sheet, SAFE or financing documents against the NVCA, YC, Series Seed and UK model documents, with a verdict, ranked issues, a term table and the exit math on who gets paid - Decision-Maker Outreach: build an ideal customer profile, a customer interview kit, a scored table of communities and events where your buyers gather, and 1–3 draft messages - Bootstrap Growth: design founding-customer, influencer and ambassador partnerships when cash is short, with an economic check and a bounded pilot - High-Leverage Job Hunt: find companies where your experience solves a specific problem, reach the founder, and propose a small paid pilot How it works - Plain Agent Skills: install the pack or one skill with npx skills add paulklayvc/skills - Skills use web search when your agent has it, and label guesses separately from verified facts Good to know - The skills rule out scraping, de-anonymizing people, mass DMs and fake familiarity, and favour twenty researched approaches over hundreds of templated ones - VC Terms Review is not legal advice; it prepares you for the conversation with your lawyer - A community pack by Paul Klay, MIT licensed
