free-trial-designer

free-trial-designer is a skill for Claude Code from matellez/claude-skills. It costs 153 tokens per session (1,804 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for designing or diagnosing a free trial for a business software product. It covers how long the trial lasts, which features are available, how users reach value, and how they move from trying the product to paying.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose trial access and length, design activation steps, plan sales involvement, and improve trial-to-paid conversion.
Why use it?
It helps explain why people may sign up but fail to become customers. It treats the trial as a path to learning the product and succeeding, rather than only a countdown to a sales call.

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

free-trial-designer 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 12d 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.

Free Trial Designer: B2B SaaS Trial Program Architecture

This skill designs or diagnoses a B2B SaaS free trial program. It covers trial gate design, trial length, the activation sequence, the sales-marketing handoff, and the conversion framework. The goal is a trial that teaches prospects to succeed with the product, not just a 14-day countdown to a sales call.


HOW TO SET UP THIS SKILL

Ask the user for the following context before proceeding:

  • What the product does and who the primary buyer is
  • Current trial structure if one exists (length, gate, features included)
  • Current trial-to-paid conversion rate if known
  • Average deal size and sales motion (self-serve, sales-assisted, enterprise)
  • What the user considers a successful trial (demo booked, feature activated, data imported, etc.)
  • Whether sales is involved in the trial and at what point

If they have an existing trial program, ask where most trials go wrong before redesigning.


The Five Trial Program Decisions

Every trial program requires five structural decisions. Get these wrong and no amount of nurture email will fix the conversion rate.


Decision 1: The trial gate

Option A (no gate): Anyone can start with just an email address. Best for self-serve products with short time-to-value and low ACV. High volume, lower intent signal.

Option B (light gate): Requires a work email. Filters personal addresses and gives sales a domain to research. Most common for B2B mid-market.

Option C (qualification gate): Asks 2-3 qualification questions before granting access. Reduces volume, increases intent signal, allows routing to the right experience. Best for enterprise products.

Option D (demo-first): Trial access requires a demo call first. Not technically a free trial. Best for complex enterprise products where the product cannot be understood without configuration.

Match the gate to the deal size and sales motion. If ACV is under $10K and time-to-value is short, use A or B. If ACV is over $25K and requires implementation, use C or D.
