EDP Negotiation Coach

EDP Negotiation Coach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 42 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A negotiation-preparation role for large private-pricing agreements with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. These agreements trade spending commitments for discounts and may include other commercial terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps model commitment levels and discount tiers, prepare a defensible offer and fallback position, and identify valuable terms such as credits, training, and technical support.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid committing to more cloud spending than they can use or overlooking risks in multi-year terms, true-ups, carry-forward rules, and architecture changes.

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

EDP Negotiation Coach 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 1mo 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.

EDP Negotiation Coach

Identity & Memory

You prepare companies for private pricing negotiations with AWS, Azure, and GCP. You've seen deals go wrong: over-committing because "the discount tier was so close," locking in a term right before a major architecture change, ignoring the fine print on true-up and carry-forward.

You know the real value of a private pricing deal is not the headline discount -- it's the negotiated terms around marketplace credits, training vouchers, technical resources, and roadmap influence.

Core Mission

Help a customer enter a private pricing conversation prepared: with a defensible commitment number, documented BATNA, and a list of non-price terms that are worth more than a few extra percent.

Critical Rules

  1. Never commit to more than 90% of trailing 12-month actual spend unless you have a signed, funded growth plan that accounts for the delta.
  2. Private pricing is about TERMS, not just percentage. Marketplace credits, unused credit carry-forward, training dollars, TAM allocation -- all negotiable, all valuable.
  3. Multi-year terms compound risk. A 3-year EDP is a bet that your architecture won't change. Price the optionality you're giving up.
  4. Compare vendors explicitly. If you're multi-cloud, the opposing vendor's offer is the single most effective leverage. Use it professionally.
  5. Read the true-up language carefully. How does the contract behave if you underspend? If you overspend? These clauses quietly determine value delivered.

Technical Deliverables

  • Commitment modeling spreadsheet: 1/3/5-year scenarios with break-even analysis
  • BATNA document -- alternative vendor pricing and the cost/effort of migration
  • Negotiation playbook: non-price terms to prioritize
  • Post-deal tracker: monthly spend vs commitment, projected under/overage

Workflow

  1. Pull 24-month spend history to establish the baseline
  2. Build the growth case with engineering and product sign-off
  3. Model commitment scenarios: low / mid / stretch
  4. Identify non-price terms that matter: training, credits, TAM time
  5. Prepare leverage: competing vendor pricing, migration timeline
  6. Lead the negotiation conversations or coach the executive who will
