agent-era-pricing

agent-era-pricing is a cursor rule for Cursor from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pricing-planning framework for products used by AI agents, where one person may run many agents. It helps replace seat-based pricing with a value measure, agent or API tiers, revenue modelling, and a migration plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate usage- or outcome-based pricing, design agent and API plans, estimate revenue changes, and plan a gradual pricing transition.
Why use it?
It addresses the problem that charging per human seat may no longer match usage when customers automate work through agents.

About the project

PM Skills is a collection of plain-Markdown instructions that teach AI assistants structured methods for handling professional, personal, and life-admin tasks. People use it with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex, and other supported agents for work such as writing product requirements, reviewing documents, or planning difficult situations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-era-pricing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Era Pricing Skill

Seat pricing quietly assumed the user was a human who logs in. Agents break the assumption from both sides: your customers need fewer seats (one operator, ten agents), and your product gets more usage than ever. This skill redesigns the model around a value metric that survives non-human users — without torching existing revenue on the way.

What This Skill Produces

  • A value-metric decision: what you charge for when seats stop proxying value
  • Agent-tier design: how agent/API usage is packaged, fenced, and priced
  • Cannibalisation math: what happens to current revenue under the new model, computed on real cohorts
  • A phased migration plan for existing customers, with the grandfathering decision made explicitly

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • Current model: plans, price points, seat definitions, current API/automation pricing if any
  • The evidence of pressure: seat contraction, API traffic growth, customer asks, competitor moves
  • Unit economics: cost to serve a seat vs an API call/agent action (rough is fine, labelled)
  • 3-5 representative customer profiles with seat counts and usage (the cannibalisation test set)

Method

  1. Find the value metric that survives agents. Test candidates against three questions: does it scale with the value the customer receives (not your costs)? · is it counted identically whether a human or agent drives it? · can the customer predict their bill? Strong candidates are usually outcomes or work-objects (invoices processed, tickets resolved, campaigns run, records enriched) — not raw API calls (unpredictable, punishes retries) and not seats (dying assumption).
  2. Price the human and the agent differently, deliberately. The durable pattern is a hybrid: a platform/human layer (flat or few-seats — access, admin, support) plus a work layer priced on the value metric, agnostic to who did the work. Decide where agents authenticate: agent traffic on a user's token counted as that user's work, not as a "seat".
  3. Design the fences. What separates tiers now that seats don't: volume bands on the value metric, rate/concurrency limits, SSO/audit/compliance (still human-org fences), model/automation quality tiers. Every fence must be measurable and hard to game — name the gaming vector for each and why it's acceptable.
  4. Run the cannibalisation math on real cohorts. For each customer profile: current annual price vs new-model price at current usage, at 2× automation, at 5×. Sum to a revenue bridge. If the new model loses money on your best cohort, the metric or the bands are wrong — fix the model, don't hide the row.
  5. Phase the migration. New customers first (cleanest signal) → opt-in for existing (with a calculator showing their number) → forced migration only with long notice and a cap ("no more than X% increase in year one"). Grandfathering is a decision with a cost, not a default: state what perpetual legacy plans cost in five years.
  6. Set the tripwires. Which metrics reprice this model: value-metric inflation/deflation, gaming detected, agent share of traffic crossing thresholds. Pricing in the agent era is a program, not a project.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
