Paw Pa Pricing

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs a quote
• Pricing strategy
• Rate calibration
• Discount modeling for a proposal brief

Example prompts

• “price this proposal”
• “build tiered pricing”
• “line-item estimate”
• “/paw-pa-pricing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Find the run folder — user path, or scan {workspace_folder}/*/brief.md, or ask.
2. 2Read brief.md — scope, budget, timeline, requirements, proposal type.
3. 3Read research — parse research-dossier.html sections (or .md) for pricingBenchmarks observations and client intel. If absent, warn…
4. 4Read pricing-history.json — past quotes for rate calibration (references/rate-calibration.md).
5. 5Pick pricing mode — user override, else default_pricing_mode, else ask (interactive). Load the mode reference

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 547a6df. 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 (its code samples are json).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • pawbytes.io

  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

Paw Pa Pricing loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~106

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~5.5k

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

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

Proposal pricing workflow producing defensible line-item, tiered, or value-based pricing with calibration and sanity checks. Use when the user needs a quote, estimate, tier packages, pricing strategy, rate calibration, or discount modeling for a proposal brief. Triggers: 'price this proposal', 'build tiered pricing', 'line-item estimate', 'value-based price', 'calibrate rates', 'sanity check this quote'.
