Refresh Cycle Planning

Refresh Cycle Planning is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,972 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning workflow for deciding when client hardware should be replaced. It combines warranty expiry, vendor end-of-life or end-of-support dates, and device age into priority tiers and a dated calendar.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify devices as replace now, plan this year, or monitor; identify groups of replacements due together; and prepare quarterly reviews or capital plans.
Why use it?
It helps MSPs find replacement needs before a device fails or loses security support, giving budgets and client discussions more lead time. An MSP is a company that manages IT systems for other organizations.

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

Refresh Cycle Planning 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 10d 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.

Refresh Cycle Planning

Overview

Most MSPs discover a hardware refresh need reactively: a device fails, or a client gets stuck on an OS that just hit end-of-support with no migration path, and the replacement conversation happens under time pressure with no budget lead time. This skill exists to move that conversation earlier — by combining three signals that are each individually useful but collectively much stronger — into a forward-looking calendar the account team can use in a quarterly business review or a capital-planning conversation, well before any of the underlying risk becomes urgent.

The three input signals, each covered by a sibling skill:

  1. Warranty expiration (warranty-tracking) — when hardware coverage lapses.
  2. EOL/EOS timing (eol-eos-flagging) — when the OS or hardware itself stops being supported.
  3. Device age — how long the device has been in service, pulled from RMM first-seen/enrollment date or purchase date where available.

No single signal is sufficient on its own. A device can be young with an expired warranty (a warranty that was never worth much to begin with on a low-end model), old but still fully supported and under an extended warranty, or mid-life but running an OS that's about to lose support regardless of hardware condition. This skill's job is to weigh all three together into one defensible tier per device, not to rank on whichever signal happens to be loudest.

This is not a procurement or quoting skill — it produces a planning calendar and tiered priority list, not a purchase order. Handing the output to a quoting/sales workflow (e.g. sales-pack) or a PSA opportunity is a separate, deliberate next step, not something this skill does automatically.

Anti-triggers

  • ScalePad Lifecycle Manager roadmaps — LM has its own initiatives, goals, QBR meetings, and budget forecasting; use scalepad-lifecycle-manager rather than rebuilding its calendar here.
  • Pricing the replacements — use scalepad-quoter, connectwise-cpq-quotes, or kaseya-quote-manager-quotes; this skill produces a tiered calendar and device counts, never a dollar figure.
