1# Agent Era Pricing Skill
2 
3Seat pricing quietly assumed the user was a human who logs in. Agents break the assumption from both sides: your customers need fewer seats (one operator, ten agents), and your product gets *more* usage than ever. This skill redesigns the model around a value metric that survives non-human users — without torching existing revenue on the way.

7## What This Skill Produces
8 
9- A **value-metric decision**: what you charge for when seats stop proxying value
10- **Agent-tier design**: how agent/API usage is packaged, fenced, and priced
11- **Cannibalisation math**: what happens to current revenue under the new model, computed on real cohorts
12- A **phased migration plan** for existing customers, with the grandfathering decision made explicitly

14## Required Inputs
15 
16Ask for (if not already provided):
17- **Current model**: plans, price points, seat definitions, current API/automation pricing if any
18- **The evidence of pressure**: seat contraction, API traffic growth, customer asks, competitor moves
19- **Unit economics**: cost to serve a seat vs an API call/agent action (rough is fine, labelled)
20- **3-5 representative customer profiles** with seat counts and usage (the cannibalisation test set)
