What it does
Pricing Strategy is an agent skill from emotixco/claude-skills-founder. Design pricing for a product. Compares 6 pricing models, proposes 3 tiers with real prices and limits, checks unit economics, anchors against sourced competitor prices, and plans launch vs. scale pricing. Use when a founder asks what to charge or how to structure plans.
Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Pricing strategy and Financial modeling. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for startup founders — product briefs, competitor analysis, pricing strategy, pitch decks, and GTM plans from your terminal. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A founder asks what to charge
- How to structure plans
Example prompts
- “/pricing-strategy”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit(founder/**), WebSearch, WebFetch
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0602cad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadEdit(founder/**)WebSearchWebFetch
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
Pricing Strategy loads about 774 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Input: $ARGUMENTS
Before you start
Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md and follow it.
- Reads:
founder/facts.md,founder/product-brief.md,founder/competitor-matrix.md,founder/persona-gen.md,founder/mvp-scope.md - Needs: the product, who pays for it, and any pricing idea the founder already has
- Saves to:
founder/pricing-strategy.md
If founder/competitor-matrix.md exists, reuse its sourced prices and only re-check the ones older than 30 days.
Instructions
1. Pricing model analysis
Score each model 1-5 for this specific product:
| Model | Fit score | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat subscription | |||
| Usage-based | |||
| Per-seat | |||
| Freemium | |||
| Credits | |||
| One-time purchase |
Recommend one model and say why.
2. Tier design
Design 3 tiers with names, prices, and features:
- Free or starter: what hooks users, and what makes them upgrade
- Pro or growth: what justifies the price jump, and which feature is gated here
- Business or scale: what this tier adds, and whether it is self-serve or sales-led
For each tier:
- Monthly and annual price, with the annual discount %
- 5-8 features with limits (not "advanced analytics")
- The upgrade trigger: what makes someone outgrow this tier
3. Competitive pricing context
3-5 competitors' current prices, each with a link to the pricing page and the date checked:
- Competitor name, price, what's included
- Where the founder's product should sit relative to each (above, below, between) and why
Show full SKILL.md (154 more words)Show less
4. Unit economics check
- Cost per user per month (hosting, API costs, support), with the arithmetic shown
- Gross margin at each tier
- Customers needed per tier to break even
- Target blended ARPU
Mark every cost you couldn't confirm as an estimate.
5. Pricing psychology
3 specific tactics:
- Anchoring: which tier is the anchor?
- Decoy: is there a tier designed to push people to the target tier?
- Annual framing: how to present the annual discount
6. Launch pricing vs. scale pricing
- Launch price: what to charge in the first 90 days, and why it differs from the scale price
- Grandfathering: how to treat early customers when prices go up
- Price increases: when and how to raise prices (specific triggers, not "when you have more features")
Rules
- Real numbers: "$29/mo", not "affordable pricing".
- Every recommendation has a "because".
- If the founder's pricing idea is wrong, say so and explain why.
- Keep total output under 1500 words.
