What this skill does
Investor Update Generator Validate a draft monthly investor update against a rubric of what makes them work — and provide a starting template if you don't have one yet. --- Keywords investor update, monthly update, founder update, investor communication, fundraise, lead investor, board, KPIs, asks --- Clarify First Before generating the update, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume: [ ] Stage & cadence — early-stage monthly vs later-stage quarterly changes which sections the rubric expects [ ] This period's metrics — the same defined set every month; re-defining metrics signals dishonest reporting [ ] Specific asks — what you need from investors (intros, hires, advice); the highest-leverage section [ ] Bad news / risks — strong updates lead with these, so they must be surfaced, not buried Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact. --- Quick Start 1. Draft your update as update.md 2. Run: python scripts/investorupdatevalidator.py update.md 3. Address any missing sections; aim for the rubric score > 80 OR start from scratch with assets/investorupdatetemplate.md. --- Core Workflows Workflow 1: Monthly Update Production 1. First of month: pull metrics dashboard, last update, current asks 2. Draft against assets/investorupdatetemplate.md 3. Validate: python scripts/investorupdatevalidator.py update.md 4. Send within 5 business days of month-end Time Estimate: 1-2 hours/month. Workflow 2: Update Cadence Establishment 1. Read references/whatmakesgoodupdates.md 2. Decide cadence: monthly is standard for early-stage; quarterly for later-stage 3. Pick distribution: investors only, or extended (advisors, helpful operators) 4. Commit publicly — once you start, don't skip months Time Estimate: 1 week to set up; recurring monthly thereafter. …
