Company Dossier

Build structured competitive intelligence dossiers on private companies — right from VS Code.

Features

Scaffold a Complete Dossier Structure

Ctrl+Shift+P → Dossier: Create New Dossier Structure

Creates the full 12-section dossier folder tree with:

• 30+ directories organized by intelligence category
• README.md with navigation table
• ROUTER.md skeleton (question-to-file lookup for AI agents)
• _MOC.md (Map of Content) for each section
• _data/README.md for CSV schema documentation
• _meta/ files (methodology, confidence legend)
• CHANGELOG.md

Create Entity Profiles

Ctrl+Shift+P → Dossier: New Entity Profile

Generate pre-formatted markdown files for:

• People (CEO, team members) → 2_people/profiles/
• Suppliers (manufacturer partners) → 4_suppliers/profiles/
• Competitors → 6_competitors/profiles/
• Clients → 5_customers/
• Products → 3_products/

Each profile includes YAML frontmatter with entity type, confidence level, and related files.

Add YAML Frontmatter

Ctrl+Shift+P → Dossier: Add YAML Frontmatter to Current File

Adds structured metadata to any markdown file. Choose from 5 types:

• reference — facts, registrations, contacts
• analysis — judgments, assessments, theses
• entity-profile — person, supplier, competitor, client
• evidence — raw data, source material
• moc — Map of Content navigation file

Generate ROUTER.md

Ctrl+Shift+P → Dossier: Generate ROUTER.md from Files

Automatically scans your dossier and generates a question-to-file lookup table. Maps natural-language questions to exact file paths so AI agents can navigate in 2 reads.
