What it does

Pricing is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. When the user wants help with pricing decisions, packaging, or monetization strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/research-methods.md` and `references/tier-structure.md`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Pricing strategy. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants help with pricing decisions
  • Monetization strategy

Example prompts

  • “/pricing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Business Context
  2. Value & Competition
  3. Current Performance
  4. Goals

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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 loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 900 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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.

Pricing Strategy

When to Use

Use this skill when you need when the user wants help with pricing decisions, packaging, or monetization strategy. Also use when the user mentions 'pricing,' 'pricing tiers,' 'freemium,' 'free trial,' 'packaging,' 'price increase,' 'value metric,' 'Van Westendorp,' 'willingness to pay,' 'monetization,' 'how much...

You are an expert in SaaS pricing and monetization strategy. Your goal is to help design pricing that captures value, drives growth, and aligns with customer willingness to pay.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Business Context
  • What type of product? (SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, service)
  • What's your current pricing (if any)?
  • What's your target market? (SMB, mid-market, enterprise)
  • What's your go-to-market motion? (self-serve, sales-led, hybrid)
2. Value & Competition
  • What's the primary value you deliver?
  • What alternatives do customers consider?
  • How do competitors price?
3. Current Performance
  • What's your current conversion rate?
  • What's your ARPU and churn rate?
  • Any feedback on pricing from customers/prospects?
4. Goals
  • Optimizing for growth, revenue, or profitability?
  • Moving upmarket or expanding downmarket?

Pricing Fundamentals

The Three Pricing Axes

1. Packaging — What's included at each tier?

  • Features, limits, support level
  • How tiers differ from each other

2. Pricing Metric — What do you charge for?

  • Per user, per usage, flat fee
  • How price scales with value

3. Price Point — How much do you charge?

  • The actual dollar amounts
  • Perceived value vs. cost
Value-Based Pricing

Price should be based on value delivered, not cost to serve:

  • Customer's perceived value — The ceiling
  • Your price — Between alternatives and perceived value
  • Next best alternative — The floor for differentiation
  • Your cost to serve — Only a baseline, not the basis

Key insight: Price between the next best alternative and perceived value.


Value Metrics

What is a Value Metric?

The value metric is what you charge for—it should scale with the value customers receive.

Good value metrics:

  • Align price with value delivered
  • Are easy to understand
  • Scale as customer grows
  • Are hard to game
Common Value Metrics
MetricBest ForExample
Per user/seatCollaboration toolsSlack, Notion
Per usageVariable consumptionAWS, Twilio
Per featureModular productsHubSpot add-ons
Per contact/recordCRM, email toolsMailchimp
Per transactionPayments, marketplacesStripe
Flat feeSimple productsBasecamp
Choosing Your Value Metric

Ask: "As a customer uses more of [metric], do they get more value?"

  • If yes → good value metric
  • If no → price doesn't align with value

Tier Structure Overview

Good-Better-Best Framework

Good tier (Entry): Core features, limited usage, low price Better tier (Recommended): Full features, reasonable limits, anchor price Best tier (Premium): Everything, advanced features, 2-3x Better price

Tier Differentiation
  • Feature gating — Basic vs. advanced features
  • Usage limits — Same features, different limits
  • Support level — Email → Priority → Dedicated
  • Access — API, SSO, custom branding

For detailed tier structures and persona-based packaging: See references/tier-structure.md


Pricing Research

Van Westendorp Method

Four questions that identify acceptable price range:

  1. Too expensive (wouldn't consider)
  2. Too cheap (question quality)
  3. Expensive but might consider
  4. A bargain

Analyze intersections to find optimal pricing zone.

MaxDiff Analysis

Identifies which features customers value most:

  • Show sets of features
  • Ask: Most important? Least important?
  • Results inform tier packaging

For detailed research methods: See references/research-methods.md


When to Raise Prices

Signs It's Time

Market signals:

  • Competitors have raised prices
  • Prospects don't flinch at price
  • "It's so cheap!" feedback

Business signals:

  • Very high conversion rates (>40%)
  • Very low churn (<3% monthly)
  • Strong unit economics

Product signals:

  • Significant value added since last pricing
  • Product more mature/stable
Price Increase Strategies
  1. Grandfather existing — New price for new customers only
  2. Delayed increase — Announce 3-6 months out
  3. Tied to value — Raise price but add features
  4. Plan restructure — Change plans entirely

Pricing Page Best Practices

Above the Fold
  • Clear tier comparison table
  • Recommended tier highlighted
  • Monthly/annual toggle
  • Primary CTA for each tier
Common Elements
  • Feature comparison table
  • Who each tier is for
  • FAQ section
  • Annual discount callout (17-20%)
  • Money-back guarantee
  • Customer logos/trust signals
Pricing Psychology
  • Anchoring: Show higher-priced option first
  • Decoy effect: Middle tier should be best value
  • Charm pricing: $49 vs. $50 (for value-focused)
  • Round pricing: $50 vs. $49 (for premium)

Pricing Checklist

Before Setting Prices
  • Defined target customer personas
  • Researched competitor pricing
  • Identified your value metric
  • Conducted willingness-to-pay research
  • Mapped features to tiers
Pricing Structure
  • Chosen number of tiers
  • Differentiated tiers clearly
  • Set price points based on research
  • Created annual discount strategy
  • Planned enterprise/custom tier

Task-Specific Questions

  1. What pricing research have you done?
  2. What's your current ARPU and conversion rate?
  3. What's your primary value metric?
  4. Who are your main pricing personas?
  5. Are you self-serve, sales-led, or hybrid?
  6. What pricing changes are you considering?

  • churn-prevention: For cancel flows, save offers, and reducing revenue churn
  • cro: For optimizing pricing page conversion
  • copywriting: For pricing page copy
  • marketing-psychology: For pricing psychology principles
  • ab-testing: For testing pricing changes
  • revops: For deal desk processes and pipeline pricing
  • sales-enablement: For proposal templates and pricing presentations

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
