rc-understanding-revenuecat

rc-understanding-revenuecat is a skill for Claude Code from RevenueCat/ai-toolkit. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An introduction to how RevenueCat organises Android purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat combines app-side purchase handling, its own purchase records, and server notifications behind one SDK and dashboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn the roles of offerings, packages, products, subscription options, entitlements, and customer information before writing setup, purchase, or access-control code.
Why use it?
It explains the basic terms and how they relate to Google Play, so the rest of the integration is easier to understand. It is useful when moving from direct Google Play Billing or starting with RevenueCat.

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

rc-understanding-revenuecat 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.

Understanding RevenueCat

Phase 0: Intent

Use this skill before writing any RevenueCat code. It gives you the vocabulary and mental model you need so that downstream skills (setup, configuration, purchase flow, entitlements) make sense.

Start here if any of these apply:

  • You are new to RevenueCat or coming from a raw Play Billing integration.
  • You are unsure which concept maps to which dashboard object.
  • You need to decide which downstream skill to invoke for a specific user goal.

Skip this skill if you already know the difference between an Offering, a Package, a Product, and an Entitlement, and you already know that Purchases.sharedInstance is the single entry point.

Phase 1: Orient

Raw Android in-app purchases require three separate systems. RevenueCat folds all three into one SDK plus one dashboard.

Raw Google Play stack RevenueCat replacement Where it lives
BillingClient on the client Purchases SDK Your Android app
Google Play Developer API on your server RevenueCat backend RevenueCat managed
Real Time Developer Notifications via Cloud Pub/Sub RevenueCat webhooks RevenueCat managed, delivered to your server

The call path is:

Your App
  -> Purchases SDK
  -> RevenueCat Backend
  -> Google Play Developer API
  -> Google Play

Your app talks to the Purchases SDK. The SDK talks to Google Play for the purchase UI and to the RevenueCat backend for verification and entitlement storage. Your server side code talks to the RevenueCat backend, not to Google Play directly.

One consequence: RevenueCat sits in the purchase verification path. After a user completes a purchase, the SDK posts the token to RevenueCat before your app sees confirmation. You trade a network round trip for not having to build server side verification yourself.

The four concepts you must know

Concept What it is Where you define it
Product A subscription, base plan, or one time purchase Google Play Console
Package A Product wrapped with a type label (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime, custom). The unit your paywall displays RevenueCat dashboard
Offering A group of Packages. One Offering is marked Current and returned by offerings.current RevenueCat dashboard
Entitlement A logical access level your app checks, such as "pro_access". Products are attached to Entitlements RevenueCat dashboard
