Explains and calculates SaaS revenue, retention and growth metrics such as MRR, ARPU, GRR and NRR, to read momentum, churn and product-market-fit signals.

  • Works in 4 steps: Calculate Revenue Metrics → Calculate Retention & Expansion Metrics → Analyze Trends with Frameworks → …
  • Interpreting MRR, GRR and NRR to judge the quality of growth
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This is a framework for product managers to learn which metrics matter, how to compute them and what to do with the numbers, not a business intelligence tool. The revenue family covers revenue itself, ARPU as revenue per user and ARPA as MRR over active accounts, each with why PMs care, a formula and a benchmark note, such as B2C ARPU of roughly 5 to 50 dollars a month against 50 to 500 or more for B2B.

You bring a question, such as whether growth is healthy or churn is a problem, or numbers like MRR or ARR, growth rate, GRR, NRR, expansion and cohort data. Partial data is workable, and without input the skill acts as a reference to read by diagnosis. Included are a template and two example files, one showing a healthy SaaS and one showing warning signs.

When your agent uses it

  • Interpreting MRR, GRR and NRR to judge the quality of growth
  • Checking whether growth is masking a churn problem
  • Learning how to calculate revenue and retention metrics correctly

Example prompts

  • “Interpret these: $4M ARR, 8% MoM growth, GRR 88%, NRR 103% — is the growth masking a churn problem?”
  • “Calculate ARPA and expansion from our MRR and active account counts.”
  • “Which retention metric should I watch to judge product-market fit?”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Calculate Revenue Metrics
  2. Calculate Retention & Expansion Metrics
  3. Analyze Trends with Frameworks
  4. Quality Checks & Benchmarks

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

SaaS Revenue and Growth Metrics loads about 5.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.8k

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 2,702 words (~5,758 tokens).

“Master revenue and retention metrics to understand SaaS business momentum, evaluate product-market fit, and make data-driven decisions about growth investments. Use this to calculate key metrics, interpret trends, identify problems early, and communicate business health to stakeholders.”
