Simulates a realistic VC Investment Committee: three partner archetypes debate a startup's merits, concerns, and deal terms, scored across 28 dimensions. Use when the user asks to simulate an IC, or how partners would debate their startup, and gives a deck, a company description, or a specific fund. A full run takes about 15–20 minutes, so for a passing question such as 'would a VC fund us?' or 'are we fundable?', answer briefly in chat and offer the simulation instead of starting it. When it…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# IC Simulation Skill
Help startup founders prepare for the conversation that happens behind closed doors — the one where VC partners debate whether to invest. Produce a realistic IC simulation with three distinct partner perspectives, scored across 28 dimensions, with specific coaching on what to prepare.

## Skill Execution Model (READ FIRST)
> See `founder-skills/references/skill-execution-model.md` for the full inline-skill execution model (3 dispatch contexts, Mitigation 1+2, producer contract, Cowork quirks, per-symptom triage).
This skill runs **inline in the main thread**, not as a sub-agent — see the reference above ("Why Inline (Not Forked Sub-Agent)") for the rationale. Sub-agents are deliberately shell-free, so orchestration (producer scripts, artifact persistence) stays in the main thread.
**Two dispatch contexts for the sub-agent:**

How to install
mdr add lool-ventures/founder-skills/ic-sim@sha256:03f2eceb020f2be5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.b480555, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
