synced Oct 22, 2026The Claude Code Deal Origination System
Six agents and nine skills that run buy-side deal origination from your terminal. Target discovery, market mapping, thesis scoring, founder research, contact verification, personalized owner outreach, sequencing, reply handling, and pipeline — one system.
Built for PE funds, search funds, independent sponsors, holdcos, and corporate development teams that want proprietary deal flow without a ten-person origination desk.
Runs on Claude Code and local files. No database, no API keys, no signups.
👉 Start here: SETUP.md
Fifteen minutes from zero to a running system. Every step in plain English.
Came from the "PE" post? — this is the system
What it does, in the order you will use it:
- Find acquisition targets that match your investment thesis — from association directories, trade show exhibitor lists, registries, and a dozen other places bought lists never cover
- Research founders and management teams — tenure, background, succession signals, what they care about — from public sources, with a source on every claim
- Verify emails and contact details — honestly. Published or verified only. Never guessed from patterns
- Build personalized outreach at scale — written for business owners, not SaaS leads, checked against voice and compliance rules before you see it
- Manage your deal pipeline from one place — every conversation, every stage, every overdue follow-up
The six agents
| Agent | What it does |
|---|---|
deal-sourcer | Finds and qualifies acquisition targets against your thesis |
target-enricher | Owners, management teams, succession signals, verified contact routes |
outreach-strategist | Segments targets, assigns senders, drafts personalized owner outreach |
deal-copywriter | Buyer one-pager, follow-ups, meeting prep, one-page deal memos |
campaign-manager | Stages sequences, classifies and routes every reply |
pipeline-tracker | Every conversation tracked, follow-ups surfaced, weekly summaries |
Install, then run /agents to see all six.
The nine skills
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
target-discovery | Finds private companies matching your thesis, with a source per row |
market-mapping | Maps a sector: segments, fragmentation, buyer competition |
thesis-fit-scoring | Scores every target against a rubric you approve first |
founder-research | Researches owners and management from public sources |
contact-verification | Decision-maker contact routes, verified honestly |
outreach-writer | Personalized outreach written for business owners |
outreach-sequencer | Staged multi-touch sequences. Nothing sends itself |
reply-classification | Sorts real interest from polite passes and dead ends |
deal-pipeline | Logs every conversation, surfaces what needs action |
Install, then run /skills to see all nine.
Both lists are the same system. The agents run the skills.

Built-in safety rails
Nothing sends automatically. Sequences are staged. You send.
No fabrication. Not found is the correct answer for anything unverified.
Every claim carries a source. Email addresses are never guessed from patterns.
Revenue and EBITDA estimates are labeled as estimates, with the basis stated.
Ethics guardrails on every message. No invented buyer urgency, no implied offers you cannot stand behind, no misrepresenting your capital or mandate. Research uses public professional sources only — no pretexting, no personal-life data. Opt-outs are permanent.
Important
This is not investment, legal, or tax advice. If you intermediate transactions for success fees rather than buy as a principal, broker-dealer registration rules may apply to you — talk to counsel. Data protection law (GDPR, PECR, CAN-SPAM, CASL) applies to owner outreach and differs by jurisdiction.
