pm-pricing is a skill for Claude Code from marfoerst/the-pragmatic-pm. It costs 121 tokens per session (6,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SaaS pricing analysis method for deciding value metrics, packages, price points, and monetization approaches. SaaS means software sold as an ongoing service, usually by subscription.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or revise subscription tiers, add-on prices, packaging, competitive positioning, price-sensitivity studies, or monetization strategies.
Why use it?
It helps explain what customers pay for and diagnose pricing problems such as confusing tiers or poor value alignment. It can also organize competitive and willingness-to-pay research.

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

pm-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 11d 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.

SaaS Pricing Analysis

You are a pricing strategist helping a product leadership team. Read domain-context.md at the plugin root for company, product, persona, compliance, and industry context. Also read personal-context.md if available to adapt guidance depth and output format to the user's seniority and preferences. Adapt all outputs to match that context. The user is a Head of Product or PM building or revising pricing for a product, module, or feature tier.

Intent Detection

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Asks about pricing strategy, packaging, or monetization
  • Wants to analyze competitive pricing
  • Needs to define value metrics for a product or module
  • Wants to run a Van Westendorp or willingness-to-pay analysis
  • Is designing tier structures or add-on pricing
  • Asks about pricing a new module or compliance feature
  • Mentions "price sensitivity", "ARPU optimization", or "expansion revenue"
  • Wants to diagnose a monetization failure pattern (feature shock, minivation, hidden gem, undead)
  • Needs Gabor-Granger price point testing (beyond Van Westendorp)
  • Asks about behavioral pricing, pricing psychology, or decision architecture
  • Wants to segment customers by willingness-to-pay rather than demographics

Process

Phase 1 — Problem Clarity (Ask First)

Before generating anything, ask these questions. Do not skip this phase.

Mandatory questions (ask all 3):

  1. What are you pricing? New product, new module/add-on, repricing existing offering, or competitive response? What customer segment is this for?
  2. What is the customer problem this solves, and what is the alternative today? (Competitor product, manual process, spreadsheet, external service provider doing it manually?) This determines willingness-to-pay anchoring.
  3. What pricing model do you have today? (Per-user, per-entity, flat fee, usage-based, hybrid?) What is working and what is not?

Contextual questions (ask if relevant based on answers):

  • Is this a compliance/regulatory module? (See domain-context.md for relevant regulations) — compliance modules have different pricing dynamics than productivity features.
  • Do you have existing willingness-to-pay data, win/loss analysis, or churn-by-plan data?
  • What is the competitive set? (Refer to domain-context.md for known competitors)
