What it does
Pricing Your Services is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design a freelance/consulting pricing structure — hourly vs day-rate vs project vs retainer chosen per engagement type, anchored packages, and the rules for saying the number out loud without flinching. Use when asked how should I price my freelance services, hourly or fixed price, build my pricing packages, or a client asked my rate what do I say. Produces the pricing-model decision per engagement type, a three-tier package structure, the rate-conversation script, and the discount policy with its floor.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Sales & Support, covering Pricing strategy. 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 how should I price my freelance services
- Build my pricing packages
- A client asked my rate what do I say
Example prompts

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
Pricing Your Services loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 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.

- description
- Design a freelance/consulting pricing structure — hourly vs day-rate vs project vs retainer chosen per engagement type, anchored packages, and the rules for saying the number out loud without flinching. Use when asked how should I price my freelance services, hourly or fixed price, build my pricing packages, or a client asked my rate what do I say. Produces the pricing-model decision per engagement type, a three-tier package structure, the rate-conversation script, and the discount policy with its floor.
Pricing Your Services Skill
Freelancers treat pricing as one number when it's actually a structure: which model for which work, how it's packaged, and how it's said. Hourly punishes you for being fast; fixed-price punishes you for scoping badly; the right answer differs by engagement type within the same practice. This skill designs the structure — models matched to work, tiered packages that anchor, a script for the money moment — for someone who already knows their base rate (see freelance-rate to derive it).
What This Skill Produces
- The model map — hourly / day-rate / fixed-project / retainer / value-based, matched to each engagement type they actually sell
- The package structure — three tiers with the anchor built in, and what's deliberately excluded from each
- The rate-conversation script — saying the number, then the silence; deflections for "what's your best price" pre-answered
- The discount policy — what earns a discount (scope cut, longer commitment, prepayment), the floor, and the no-discount discount alternatives
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- Base day/hourly rate — derived, not guessed (route to freelance-rate if missing)
- The engagement types they actually sell — quick consults, defined projects, ongoing work — each may price differently
- Scoping confidence per type — fixed-price is only safe where they can scope within ±20%; be honest
- Client landscape — enterprise vs small business vs startups changes packaging and payment terms more than the rate
Framework: The Structure Rules
- Match model to uncertainty: well-scoped repeatable work → fixed price (you keep efficiency gains); discovery-heavy or ambiguous work → time-based (client keeps the scoping risk); ongoing availability → retainer with defined capacity, never "unlimited access."
- Three tiers, priced to anchor: the top tier makes the middle look reasonable (most buyers take the middle); the bottom tier is genuinely minimal — its job is to make skipping it feel like a real trade-off, not to be cheap.
- Exclusions do the work: each tier lists what's not included (revisions beyond N, rush turnaround, extra meetings) — that's where scope creep dies and upsells live.
- Say the number, then stop: state price plainly, no trailing justification, no "...but I'm flexible." The silence after is the client's turn. Discounting against silence is negotiating with yourself.
- Discounts buy something or don't exist: smaller scope, longer commitment, prepayment, a referenceable case study — a discount with no exchange just reprices every future engagement. Know the floor (from the rate math) below which work loses money, and decline below it.

Output Format
Pricing Structure: [practice]
Model Map
| Engagement type | Model | Why | Risk it assigns |
|---|
Packages
[Tier 1 name] — $X: [included] · Not included: […] [Tier 2 name] — $Y (most clients): … [Tier 3 name] — $Z (the anchor): …
The Money Moment
Saying it: "[script]" [then silence] "What's your best price?" → "[deflection that trades, not caves]" "That's more than we budgeted" → "[scope-cut offer, same rate]"
Discount Policy
Earns a discount: [list with exchange rates] · Floor: $[N] ([why]) · Below floor: decline script
Quality Checks
- Every engagement type has a model AND the reasoning for it
- Fixed-price only where scoping confidence is stated ±20%
- Each tier lists exclusions, not just inclusions
- The script ends at the number — no trailing hedge
- Every discount names what it buys; the floor is computed, not felt
Anti-Patterns
- Do not use one model for everything — the model is per-engagement-type
- Do not fixed-price ambiguity — that's donating the scoping risk for free
- Do not build a cheap bottom tier to "win volume" — it attracts the clients who cost the most per dollar
- Do not justify the rate after saying it — justification signals negotiability
- Do not discount without an exchange — reprice scope, terms, or timeline instead
Example Trigger Phrases
- "How should I price my freelance services?"
- "Build my pricing packages."
- "Hourly, day rate or retainer?"
- "Help me quote without flinching."
