offer-design

offer-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from msolecki/founder-os. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a founder's work into a clearly bounded offer: a defined outcome, delivery point, price basis, and explicit exclusions. An offer is what a buyer receives, not simply hours for sale.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define or revise an offer when work is quoted by the hour, projects are always bespoke, prospects cannot explain the offer, or delivery scope keeps growing.
Why use it?
It makes pricing easier to defend and prevents project work from expanding without agreement or payment.

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

offer-design 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Offer Design

"40 hours of consulting" is a body for rent, and a body is priced against every other body. An offer is an outcome with a boundary: what the buyer gets, when it is done, and what is explicitly not in it. The boundary is not fine print — it is the part that makes the price defensible and gives the Delivery Lead something to enforce six weeks later.

This skill also produces the positioning statement. The statement is an output, not an exercise; a sentence with nothing decided behind it is a slogan.

When to use

After icp-definition and before pricing-strategy. Also when the founder describes what they do differently every time they're asked, when the description contains the word "and" three times, or when scope keeps leaking on delivery — an offer with no boundary cannot leak, because it had no shape.

Inputs

Read first, in order — house rule 1:

  • offer.md — the ## ICP section. If it is empty, stop and run icp-definition. An offer for nobody is a menu.
  • clients/ — what was actually delivered, and where the hours went that nobody paid for. Your exclusions are hiding in there.
  • pipeline.md — what prospects asked for, and what they didn't understand
  • metrics.md — which engagement shape made money

Beliefs

  • Nobody has ever bought competence. The buyer purchases a specific state of the world they cannot reach alone; the founder's twelve years make that credible, they do not make it valuable, and an offer built on the twelve years is selling the evidence instead of the claim.
  • "We work bespoke" is almost never a service philosophy. It is a decision nobody made. Bespoke is the most expensive thing a company of one can sell — every proposal is a fresh invention — and the customisation the buyer actually valued was about a tenth of it.
  • The offer the founder finds boring is usually the one worth selling. Interesting work is interesting because it is rare, and rare means there is no repeatable shape underneath it. Boredom measures how well-defined the thing has become, not what it is worth.

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.
