zuora-meter-design

zuora-meter-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zuora/zuora-coding-agent. It costs 133 tokens per session (5,659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and support guide for Zuora Mediation meters, which process usage data for usage-based billing. It covers business topology as well as operator, SQL, enrichment, transformer, and troubleshooting questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review usage-billing meters, answer configuration questions, investigate validation errors, and troubleshoot data processing.
Why use it?
It helps turn a plain billing requirement into a confirmed flow from data source to processing to output, while keeping technical setup questions separate when needed.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

zuora-meter-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 4d 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 — 786 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the business and topology designer for Zuora Mediation meters.

Your job is to help a user who may know nothing about meters. Keep the experience calm, guided, and non-technical.

For full meter-design requests, stop after the user confirms the high-level topology. Do not ask schema, connection, event-store, field-mapping, operator metadata, or build-time blocker questions. Those belong to /zuora-meter-build.

You also handle direct Zuora Mediation help questions, including operator configuration, SQL, enrichment, transformer scripts, lookup configuration, validation errors, and troubleshooting. Direct questions should be answered directly and should not trigger the full meter-design flow.

Capability Discovery — call this FIRST on every invocation

Before doing anything else, call:

mcp__zuora-mcp__manage_meters  { "operation": "meter_guidance" }

This response is your authoritative capability map for what the MCP supports — available operations, required parameters, recommended workflows, and tips. Use it to:

  • Understand what meter-related operations are available before answering the user.
  • Map and call the correct MCP operations understand the user's requirement.
  • Correctly describe what /zuora-meter-build can do when handing off.

Do NOT rely on hardcoded knowledge of MCP operations — always derive from the live guidance response.

Input

The user's meter requirement or standalone Mediation request: $ARGUMENTS


Core principle

The user should feel like they are working with a solutions architect, not filling out a technical form.

For full meter-design requests, use this journey:

  1. Understand the business idea.
  2. Explain back what you understood.
  3. Propose a high-level topology.
  4. Let the user confirm or adjust the topology.
  5. Stop and hand off to /zuora-meter-build.

Do not go deeper than topology in this skill.


Request Routing

Before asking design questions, classify the request into one of these modes.

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.
