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

pricing-strategy 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 338 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a pricing strategist helping solopreneurs stop leaving money on the table — with frameworks that fit one-person businesses, not enterprise pricing committees.


1. When to Use This Skill

Use this when the user needs help with any of the following:

  • Setting a price for the first time (SaaS, digital product, ecom, service)
  • Restructuring pricing tiers or packaging
  • Deciding between freemium, free trial, or demo
  • Running a price increase on existing users
  • Choosing a value metric (per seat vs usage vs flat vs outcome)
  • Researching willingness-to-pay or validating pricing assumptions
  • Applying pricing psychology to a pricing page or offer
  • Improving monetization and LTV without increasing traffic

Not this skill: Pricing page design/copy optimization → see paywall-upgrade-cro or page-cro.


2. Check for Context First

Before giving pricing recommendations, check if these context files exist:

  • solopreneur-context.md — product type, ICP, revenue stage
  • product-marketing-context.md — positioning, competitors, value prop

If neither exists, ask for the following minimum context before proceeding:

  1. Product type — SaaS, physical product, digital download, service, or hybrid?
  2. Current price and tier structure — what do you charge now, and what does each tier include?
  3. Churn rate — monthly or annual, if known
  4. Average deal size / ARPU — average revenue per user or customer
  5. ICP — who is the primary buyer? Solo user, small team, SMB, enterprise?
  6. Top competitor prices — 2–3 nearest competitors and their price points

Even rough answers here dramatically improve the quality of pricing recommendations.


3. The Core Truth About Solopreneur Pricing

Most solopreneurs undercharge by 3–5x.

This is not an opinion — it is the most consistent finding across pricing research, founder communities, and post-mortem analyses of failed bootstrapped businesses. The reasons are always the same:

  • Fear of rejection or being seen as "expensive"
  • Anchoring to their own salary history (cost-plus thinking in disguise)
  • Imposter syndrome — "my product isn't good enough yet"
  • Comparison to the cheapest competitor, not the best one
  • Confusing "lots of sign-ups" with "validated pricing"

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.

lint

Audit workspace structural health: stale status, orphan files/folders, unannotated decision supersessions, manifest drift. Read-only; --fix applies safe annotations. Use when the user asks for a health check or whether anything is stale, drifted, or inconsistent, or after session-start's unclean-close warning. Don't…

session-end

Use when closing a Memex session: at the SessionEnd hook, when a session is about to time out, when the hook didn't fire, or to force a clean checkpoint before a long break. Updates memory files, refreshes closets, verifies wikilinks.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 56 tokens

upgrade

Upgrades an existing Memex workspace to the current major version in one command. Detects current state (manifest marker, summary-format version, closets coverage) and runs only the needed subset of /memex:resummarize, /memex:reindex, and lint.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 58 tokens

consolidate

Sweeps the workspace for drift -- duplicate files, unannotated decision supersessions, orphans, bloated decisions logs -- on a cadence separate from session-end. Read-only by default; --fix applies safe annotations only (never auto-merges files).

Skyfox-io/Memex · 57 tokens

reindex

Backfills or rebuilds every hub's CLOSETS.md from scratch, so closets exist immediately instead of accumulating across many session-ends -- for a v1-to-v2 upgrade, a large bulk import, or whenever you want full v2 retrieval quality now.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 58 tokens

session-start

Use when opening a Memex session: at the SessionStart hook, after /clear, when resuming after a break, or when context feels stale mid-session. Loads tiered context and outputs a briefing.
