PRODUCT STRATEGY

Claude for pricing strategy, done properly.

The tested prompt, the codes that help, and the setup product strategy pros run. Copy, adapt, ship.

One-time purchase. Lifetime updates. Works with Claude, Codex, and Gemini.
Why this needs a proper prompt

Most founders guess at pricing. Too low and you leave money on the table. Too high and you kill conversion. Without a framework, pricing decisions are pure anxiety.

Why Claude for this

Three reasons this actually lands.

The prompt, the codes, the fit. Each one on its own is a nice-to-have. Together, they change the workflow.

The prompt is the product.

One tested prompt, copy-paste ready. Rules baked in, placeholders marked, tone locked down. No prompt-engineering trial runs, no back-and-forth.

Codes that stack.

Prefix with REASON, V=2, REFINE for compound effects. Each code is a documented technique, not a magic word.

Built for the role.

Tuned for product strategy workflows. Not a generic template, and not another "you are a helpful assistant" hack.

Without the pattern vs with it.

What the day looks like when you keep winging the prompt, and what it looks like when you stop.

The prompt
Without it

Generic prompt. Claude writes something that could be about anyone, in any industry, from anywhere. Sounds like a template because it is one.

With it

The CLSkills prompt with placeholders for your context. Claude writes it like a specialist who actually knows the work. Publishable after one edit pass.

The workflow
Without it

You paste, Claude answers, you rewrite, you paste again. Ten minutes of back-and-forth per output. Three hours across a batch of five.

With it

Prompt loaded once. You feed the specifics, Claude returns the finished output. Two minutes per, twenty across five. Same tone, same structure, every time.

The result
Without it

Middle-of-the-road copy that reads AI-flavoured. Recipients notice. Response rates stay low. You end up rewriting most of it anyway.

With it

A data-informed pricing strategy with specific tier recommendations, psychological anchoring, and a test you can run immediately. Not academic theory — actionable pricing.

The prompt

Copy this, replace the placeholders, ship.

Help me develop a pricing strategy for [PRODUCT].

Product: [WHAT IT DOES]
Target customer: [WHO BUYS IT + THEIR BUDGET CONTEXT]
Current pricing (if any): [WHAT YOU CHARGE NOW]
Competitors' pricing: [WHAT THEY CHARGE]
Cost to serve: [YOUR COSTS PER USER/UNIT]

Analyze:
1. **Value metric**: What should I charge based on? (per user, per usage, flat, tiered?)
2. **Price anchoring**: How should tiers be structured? (Good/Better/Best)
3. **Willingness to pay**: Based on the value delivered, what's the ceiling?
4. **Competitor positioning**: Where should I sit relative to competitors and why?
5. **Psychological pricing**: $X.99 vs round numbers — what fits this market?

Recommend:
- 3 pricing tiers with names, prices, and feature allocation
- Which tier is the "intended" choice (and how the others anchor it)
- Free tier strategy (if applicable)
- Annual vs monthly discount strategy
- One pricing experiment to run in the first month

Replace the [BRACKETED] placeholders with your context.

Codes that help

Stack these prefixes for compound gains.

Prepend one or more of these to the prompt above. Each code is documented on its own page with before and after examples.
