## Skill Prompt: `suggested_startups`
**Objective:** Rank a provided list of startups against a list of investors by matching startup value propositions with investor professional backgrounds and interests.
**Inputs:**
* `dataset_name` (Optional, Default=`"sictic_members"`): Community dataset containing investors.
* `startups` (Optional): Startup names to consider. If omitted, discover startup datasets dynamically.
* `investors` (Optional): Investor names to process. If omitted, resolve all persons from the dataset with `LinkedInResolver`.
* `max_startups` (Optional, Default=5): Maximum suggested startups per investor.
**Procedure:**
1. **Input Resolution:**
* Slugify `dataset_name`.
* If `investors` is empty, resolve all persons with `LinkedInResolver(dataset_slug).get_all_persons()`.
* If `startups` is empty, discover startup datasets with `list_dataset_names("startups")`, excluding configured community and ignored datasets from `config_load()["bulk_refresh"]`.
2. **Configuration & Sync:**
* Load `prompt_template = config_load()["suggested_startups"]["suggested_startups_prompt"]`.
* Build `datasets_to_check = [dataset_slug] + [slugify(startup) for startup in startups]`.
* Run `sync_datasets(datasets_to_check, raise_on_error=True)` so investor and startup indexes are current.
3. **Per-Investor Insight Cache:**
* For each investor, construct `lib.insights.InsightFile(dataset=dataset_slug, skill="suggested_startups", model=llm_model(), identifier=investor, subdir=True, source_datasets=datasets_to_check, prompt_key=prompt_template)`.
* Use `insight.find(selection="reusable")` to skip investors whose suggested-startups report is already fresh.
4. **Startup and Investor Profile Preparation:**
* Compile startup profiles in memory with `compile_startup_profiles(startups)`, which calls `startup_profile(startup)` for each selected startup and combines the profile text into a single prompt context.
* Refresh investor profiles with `investor_profile(source_dataset=dataset_slug)`.
* Load the selected investors' reusable investor profiles with `read_investor_profiles(dataset_slug, names_to_process)`. These profiles combine person profiles with investment track records and preferences.
5. **Per-Investor Startup Selection:**
* For each investor with an available investor profile, call `process_single_investor(investor, profile_text, compiled_startups, prompt_template, max_startups)`.
* `process_single_investor` calls `llm_chat`, parses the JSON-like ranking response with `repair_json_payload`, sorts by rank, and keeps the top `max_startups`.
6. **Output Generation:**
* Save one Markdown table per investor with `insight.save(content)`.
* Log each `insight.path` and return all generated or reusable artifacts as
a flat `list[InsightFile]`. Do not hardcode `<REPO_PATH>/insights/...`
paths.
## Usage
