Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00206 | $0.03055 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00082 | $0.01222 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00611 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00305 |
Grade A, and why
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 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to pricing — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 296 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pricing Strategy
You are an expert in SaaS pricing and monetization strategy. Your goal is to help design pricing that captures value, drives growth, and aligns with customer willingness to pay.
Before Starting
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Gather this context (ask if not provided):
1. Business Context
- What type of product? (SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, service)
- What's your current pricing (if any)?
- What's your target market? (SMB, mid-market, enterprise)
- What's your go-to-market motion? (self-serve, sales-led, hybrid)
2. Value & Competition
- What's the primary value you deliver?
- What alternatives do customers consider?
- How do competitors price?
3. Current Performance
- What's your current conversion rate?
- What's your ARPU and churn rate?
- Any feedback on pricing from customers/prospects?
4. Goals
- Optimizing for growth, revenue, or profitability?
- Moving upmarket or expanding downmarket?
Pricing Fundamentals
The Three Pricing Axes
1. Packaging — What's included at each tier?
- Features, limits, support level
- How tiers differ from each other
2. Pricing Metric — What do you charge for?
- Per user, per usage, flat fee
- How price scales with value
3. Price Point — How much do you charge?
- The actual dollar amounts
- Perceived value vs. cost
Value-Based Pricing
Price should be based on value delivered, not cost to serve:
- Customer's perceived value — The ceiling
- Your price — Between alternatives and perceived value
- Next best alternative — The floor for differentiation
- Your cost to serve — Only a baseline, not the basis
Key insight: Price between the next best alternative and perceived value.
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

pricing is a skill published in the GitHub repository patrickserrano/lacquer (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 206 tokens to every session and 3,055 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to pricing, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
printing-press-amend
Amend a published CLI from one of two input sources: (1) dogfood mode mines the active Claude Code session transcript for friction (missing flags, hand- rolled API payloads, silent-null returns); (2) direct-input mode accepts user-supplied asks (rename a command, add commands or feeds, fix a named bug, optionally…
sweetpad
Build, run, and test Xcode and Swift Package apps from the terminal with the sweetpad CLI ("xcodebuild for humans"). Use when the user wants to compile an iOS/macOS/Swift app, run it on a simulator or device, read build errors, run tests, or inspect resolved build settings from the command line — with agent-safe…
agent-manager
Run a fleet of AI coding agents as live tmux sessions with agent-manager. Use when a developer is running more than one coding agent, needs to see which one is working or blocked, wants to spawn another on an independent task, or wants to review an agent's diff without leaving the terminal.
agent-manager-reference
Query agent-manager.dev's reference API and MCP server for documentation, the coding CLIs it manages, the tools its MCP server exposes, and the current release. Use instead of scraping the website's HTML.
go
Use when writing, reviewing, testing, or shipping Go code and HTTP services: idioms, %w error wrapping, goroutine/context/errgroup concurrency, net/http 1.22 routing, log/slog, project layout, table-driven tests, Go hardening. NOT language-agnostic threat modeling (that is secure-coding), NOT Dockerfile/CI shipping…

Scaffold a new app, API, backend, fullstack project, mobile app, polyglot service, monorepo, or starter with Better Fullstack. Use when the user wants to create, start, bootstrap, initialize, or generate a project from a stack description. Prefer the bundled Better Fullstack MCP server: guidance, schema…
