memopop-orchestrator/agent-skills/setup-new-firm/SKILL

End-to-end procedure for onboarding a new VC firm into the memopop investment-memo orchestrator. Five phases — (1) brand acquisition via Firecrawl with analyst-override on the primary-color heuristic, (2) firm-directory scaffolding under io/<firm>/ with the canonical configs/templates/assets/deals layout and the strict brand-config YAML schema, (3) investment-framework outline selection (typically forking an existing outline like alpha-partners-7-Cs and customizing — section reordering, preambles, preferred-source swaps, stage-aware fallbacks), (4) first deal setup with deck-input handling (DocSend capture via cli/capture_docsend.py, ImageMagick screenshot stitching for NDA-gated decks, deal-config JSON, codified Sources.md), and (5) optional private-repo split via gh CLI with submodule re-add for confidential firm data. Use whenever the user says "I have a new client/firm/VC," "set up <firm name>," "add <firm> to memopop," "we need brand configs for <firm>," or pastes a VC firm's URL with implicit intent to generate memos for them. Encodes lessons from the alpha-jwc onboarding on 2026-06-07 — don't trust Firecrawl's primary-color field blindly, verify against the logo palette; the deck analyst will extract DocSend watermarks as the company name if you feed it watermarked screenshots; agents leak firm-geography context into company-analysis prose (Alpha JWC = Indonesia VC → Portland-OR company memo gained Indonesia/rupiah risks); citation-enrichment fabricates example.com URLs even in codified-source mode — codified Sources.md only constrains the upstream researcher, not the downstream enricher. Cross-references [[crawl-fetch-ingest]] for portfolio/team data, [[sources-md-curation]] for the Sources.md file mechanics, and the open issues in context-v/issue-resolution/ ([[Limiting-or-Omitting-Investor-Judgement]], [[Competitive-Research-Generated-But-Not-In-Prose]], [[Including-Comparable-Exits-Valuations-IPOs]]) for known failure modes the new firm's first run will hit.
