crawl-fetch-ingest
The Lossless Group's workflow for filling in team and portfolio metadata for VC firms and the operating companies they back — crawl a firm's site, fetch structured data + brand assets for people and companies referenced in a deck/PDF, ingest as canonical .md files with YAML frontmatter. Supports two starting anchors — firm-anchored (one VC → its team → its portfolio → portco CEOs) and company-anchored (one operating company → its backer firms → each backer's team + portfolio, stopping there) — for credibility-card use. Use whenever you need to recreate VC team pages, advisor sections, or portfolio company sections in HTML/Tailwind/Reveal slideshows; whenever the input is "here's a PDF and/or a firm URL, fill in the people and companies"; whenever you need headshots, LinkedIn URLs, company logos (SVG preferred), CEO metadata; whenever you need to "ingest our backers" or "make these investors legible to readers"; whenever the user mentions "fill out the team", "find the headshots", "credibility ingest", "we need their portfolio companies", or names this skill directly. Encodes the four-checkpoint cascade (VC team → advisors → portfolio companies → portco CEOs), the cross-tool fallback pattern (Firecrawl → Tavily → OpenGraph.io), the global-cache-per-firm convention so the same firm's data is reused across multiple decks/memos, and the loose canonical schema that sites converge toward on refactor (not enforced on ingest).
