pricing-strategy

pricing-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for setting prices based on what customers value and how they respond to reference prices, price anchors, discounts, and different offers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set an initial price, design free and paid tiers, choose seat-based or usage-based pricing, and plan price increases.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying only on costs or competitors, which can miss what customers are willing to pay and how a price change may affect demand.

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

pricing-strategy 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 9d 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.

Pricing Strategy

Overview

Price is a structural decision, not a calculated number. Cost-plus and competitor-matching both ignore 50 years of pricing research: what people pay is shaped by reference points, anchoring, loss aversion, and offer structure — not by cost. Kahneman & Tversky (Econometrica 1979): losses hit ~2× harder than equal gains. Thaler (1980): endowment effect and mental accounting drive consumer pricing behavior.

When to Use

Apply when: setting initial prices; planning a price change (especially raising); designing freemium/tiered/usage structures; sales asks for discounts >1/week; competitors' price is the only input; pricing an AI product against volatile/falling inference costs and choosing seat- vs. usage- vs. outcome-based models, protecting gross margin as AI capex and model releases shift the cost floor, or defending price against AI-native competitors pricing off the same collapsing token cost.

When NOT to use: no demonstrated value (use lean-startup); price regulated; purely tactical single-deal discount; LTV/CAC already working and question is execution only.

Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)

  • Engine mode: user has segment + value data → run The Process directly.
  • Coach mode: vague or unfamiliar → guide step by step.

In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.

  1. What it is. Pricing is a designed signal — what people pay depends on reference points and loss aversion far more than on cost.
  2. Check fit. No demonstrated value → lean-startup. Regulated → wrong scope.
  3. Elicit value. What outcome does the customer get, in their metric? ("save 8 eng-hours/week" not "makes them faster")

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. Walk The Process one step at a time with their input.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. Close with one price, one anchor, one structure, one 60-day experiment.

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.
