At a glance

Evaluates a proposed pricing change by modeling its effect on ARPU, conversion, churn risk, expansion and CAC payback, for a go or no-go decision.

  • Works in 6 steps: Gather Context → Identify Pricing Change Type → Assess Expected Impact → …
  • Deciding whether a proposed price increase should ship
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill assumes you already have a specific change in mind, such as a price increase, new tier, add-on or discount, and tests whether it makes financial sense. It examines revenue impact (the lift against losses from lower conversion or higher churn), conversion impact on trial-to-paid and sales, churn risk including grandfathering and segment differences, and expansion impact from premium tiers, usage-based pricing and add-ons, with supporting math and risk assessment.

It is explicitly not pricing strategy design: value-based pricing frameworks, willingness-to-pay research, competitive positioning, psychological pricing, packaging architecture and monetization model selection are out of scope. You provide the proposed change and current pricing, and it helps to add ARPU or ARPA, baselines for conversion and churn, NRR and who is pushing for the change.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding whether a proposed price increase should ship
  • Modeling the churn and conversion risk of a new tier or discount
  • Checking how a pricing move changes NRR and CAC payback

Example prompts

  • “Evaluate raising our Pro plan from $49 to $59/seat; ARPU $52, monthly logo churn 1.8%, NRR 108%.”
  • “What happens to payback if we add a discounted annual tier?”
  • “Should we grandfather existing customers when we raise prices?”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Context
  2. Identify Pricing Change Type
  3. Assess Expected Impact
  4. Evaluate Current State
  5. Deliver Recommendations
  6. Sensitivity Analysis (Optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Finance-Based Pricing Advisor loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,796 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,796 words (~5,932 tokens).
