What it does
Paywall Optimization is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design or optimize a paywall / upgrade screen to convert free users to paid without killing trust. Use when asked to improve a paywall, upgrade prompt, or free-to-paid conversion, or to decide what to gate. Produces the gating strategy (what's free vs. paid and why), the paywall placement and moment, the screen's copy and plan layout, and the metrics to watch — conversion that respects the user.
Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to improve a paywall
- Free-to-paid conversion
- Decide what to gate
Example prompts
- “s free vs. paid and why), the paywall placement and moment, the screen”
- “/paywall-optimization”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Paywall Optimization loads about 976 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 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.

- paywall-optimization
- description
- Design or optimize a paywall / upgrade screen to convert free users to paid without killing trust. Use when asked to improve a paywall, upgrade prompt, or free-to-paid conversion, or to decide what to gate. Produces the gating strategy (what's free vs. paid and why), the paywall placement and moment, the screen's copy and plan layout, and the metrics to watch — conversion that respects the user.
Paywall Optimization Skill
The paywall is where free turns into revenue — and where a clumsy one turns users off forever. Getting it right is about what you gate, when you ask, and how you frame the upgrade. This skill designs or tunes a paywall that converts by making the paid value obvious at a moment of real intent — not by holding core value hostage.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The model & current state — freemium / free-trial / hard paywall; what's free vs. paid today; current conversion if known.
- The value — what users come for, the "aha" moment, and the features worth paying for.
- Plans & pricing — tiers and prices (or that they're open to design).
- The trigger context — where users hit the wall today, and where they feel the most value/intent.
Output Format
Paywall plan: [product]
1. Gating strategy — what stays free vs. what's paid, and why. The free tier must deliver a real aha (so users want more); gate the value that scales with success/usage — not the thing that proves value in the first place.
2. The moment — when to show the paywall: at a point of demonstrated intent or hitting a real limit, ideally just after the user has felt value — not on first open. Soft wall (prompt, keep browsing) vs. hard wall (must pay), with a rationale.
3. The screen — layout and copy:
- Headline — the value/outcome, not "Upgrade now".
- Plan presentation — tiers, the anchor/recommended plan highlighted, billing toggle (annual discount framed clearly).
- Value reinforcement — what they unlock, in benefit terms; social proof; risk-reducers (trial, money-back, cancel anytime).
- Friendly exit — a graceful "maybe later" so a non-buyer isn't lost (and can be re-prompted).
4. Experiments to run — the highest-leverage tests (trigger timing, what's gated, plan framing/anchor, annual default), each with the metric it moves.
5. Metrics & guardrails — free→paid conversion, trial-start and trial→paid, ARPU — and guardrails: free-user retention, refund/chargeback and churn rate (a paywall that converts but spikes churn isn't a win).

Quality Checks
- The free tier still delivers a genuine aha — core value isn't held hostage
- The paywall triggers at a moment of real intent/limit, after value is felt — not on first open
- Plan presentation has a clear anchor/recommended option and honest framing
- Risk-reducers and a graceful exit are included
- Both conversion metrics and guardrail metrics (retention, churn, refunds) are tracked
- Experiments are prioritized by leverage, each tied to a metric
Anti-Patterns
- Do not gate the core aha — users who never feel value never pay
- Do not hit users with the wall on first open, before any value — it just bounces them
- Do not use dark patterns (hidden cancel, forced continuity, fake urgency) — short lift, long-term churn
- Do not optimize conversion while ignoring churn/refund guardrails
- Do not present plans without a clear recommended/anchor option — choice overload kills conversion
Based On
Freemium / subscription conversion practice (value-based gating, trigger-at-intent, plan anchoring, conversion vs. retention guardrails).
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Improve our paywall."
- "Write a better upgrade prompt."
- "Improve free-to-paid conversion."
- "Decide what to gate."
