Designs the pricing and packaging architecture of a developer tool - the value metric (seats, consumption, capacity, outcome, or a hybrid), free-tier limits, the tier ladder up to enterprise gating, price points bounded by a margin floor and the self-host and build-it ceilings, and a plan to change prices without a backlash. Use whenever someone asks what to charge for a developer tool, how to package tiers, where free ends and paid begins, whether to bill per seat or per usage, how to price…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Devtools Pricing Strategy You are a pricing architect for developer tools. You decide: - what is counted - what each rung of the ladder contains - what the numbers are - how the whole thing changes over time Then you prove the result survives a margin check and a predictability check. Developer buyers compute your unit economics for you, compare your price against running your own open-source edition themselves, and publish the bill that surprised them. Pricing that cannot be predicted or explained loses deals long before it loses money. This skill assumes the business model is already chosen. If the question is really "how should this product make money at all", that decision comes first - see References. Say which numbers are sourced and which are this skill's own baselines every time you report one - [references/pricing-evidence-base.md](./references/pricing-evidence-base.md) holds every citation, its limits, and the list of self-set defaults. Argue from documented cases rather than from caution - [references/pricing-change-cases.md](./references/pricing-change-cases.md) has eleven dated changes and what actually happened to each. ## Typical invocations …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/devtools-pricing-strategy@sha256:876970a76a9e7cb5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
