About this skill

Create a coherent subscription packaging system based on customer jobs, value, cost-to-serve, entitlements, usage limits, support, and operational constraints. The skill defines upgrade and downgrade paths, grandfathering, migration, and communication while avoiding invented willingness-to-pay data.

What it does

It turns a feature list into clear plan architecture, entitlement boundaries, upgrade logic, downgrade consequences, migration rules, and validation tests.

What is included

  • Customer-job segmentation
  • Plan architecture
  • Entitlement matrix
  • Usage and limit rules
  • Upgrade triggers
  • Downgrade and cancellation behavior
  • Grandfathering and migration
  • Operational and billing dependencies
  • Validation experiments
  • Launch communication

How to use it

1. Download the subscription-packaging-and-upgrade-path-designer-SKILL.md file
2. Upload it to Claude, ChatGPT, or your product and commerce workspace
3. Provide customer segments, jobs, feature costs, usage patterns, billing constraints, and current plans
4. Do not claim demand, conversion, or willingness-to-pay without real evidence
5. Review legal, tax, billing, and customer-communication implications before launch

Examples

Example input
Design Free, Pro, and Team plans for an AI workflow product. Costs vary by model usage, collaboration, storage, and support. Define limits, upgrade paths, downgrades, and migration from the current single paid plan.
Example output
A customer-job map, plan principles, entitlement matrix, usage rules, upgrade and downgrade logic, grandfathering options, migration steps, validation tests, and customer communication outline.

FAQ

Can this skill choose exact prices?
It can structure pricing decisions using supplied evidence, but it will not invent willingness-to-pay or market data.
Does it handle usage-based limits?
Yes. It can define units, included allowances, overages, warnings, throttling, and hard-stop behavior.
Can it design downgrades?
Yes. It specifies timing, retained data, access changes, recovery windows, and communication.
What is grandfathering?
It is a policy for preserving some existing customer terms during a plan or price transition.
Does it recommend dark patterns?
No. Upgrade and cancellation paths must remain clear, truthful, reversible where appropriate, and consistent with approved policy.
How is this different from competitor pricing research?
It designs the internal package architecture and lifecycle rather than only comparing market prices.
