How the Pricing Sanity Check skill works

Run the pricing analysis. Ask the user for their cost and revenue data, build the margin table, and model three pricing scenarios — so the owner can see the numbers clearly before deciding what to charge.

Parse arguments:

PRODUCT_NAME (optional) — specific product or service to analyze; if omitted, analyze all active products

Step 1 — Current margin baseline

Using the margin-analyzer skill workflow:

Ask the user to upload or paste their revenue by product/service for the last 90 days (e.g., a QuickBooks CSV export).
Ask for COGS or direct costs per product (e.g., from the same QuickBooks export, if they track it per product).
If the user also provides a gross-sales export (e.g., from PayPal) for the same products, use it to cross-validate.
Calculate current gross margin per product: (revenue − COGS) ÷ revenue.

Build the margin table:

Product          | Revenue  | COGS     | Gross Margin | Margin %
{product}        | ${amt}   | ${amt}   | ${amt}       | {X}%

Flag any product with margin below 20% as a risk.

Step 2 — Three pricing scenarios

For each product (or the specified product), model three scenarios. Do NOT recommend a price — present data only.

Scenario A — Hold current price

Project revenue at current price × current volume
Project margin at current COGS

Scenario B — Price increase (+10% to +20%, owner to specify)

Project revenue assuming 0%, 5%, and 10% volume loss at new price
Show the break-even volume needed to maintain current profit

Scenario C — Price decrease (−10%, to drive volume)

Project revenue assuming 10%, 20%, and 30% volume increase
Show the volume needed to match current profit

Present each scenario as a data table, not a recommendation.

Step 3 — Customer messaging brief

Produce a plain-language brief (for price increase scenarios) the owner can use to communicate a change to customers:

One paragraph explaining the change
Three key message options (direct, value-focused, empathetic)
Suggested timing and channel (email, invoice note, in-person)

Missing data

If the user hasn't provided revenue and cost data, ask them to upload or paste it first — margin analysis requires it (e.g., a QuickBooks CSV export). If they don't provide a gross-sales export (e.g., from PayPal), run from the revenue/cost data alone and note "no PayPal export provided — cross-validation against PayPal sales skipped."

Approval gates

Never recommend a specific price. Provide data views only — pricing decisions belong to the owner.
Flag if COGS data is incomplete (many exports don't track per-product COGS) and note the gap.
Never suggest applying any price change automatically. This analysis is data-only; the owner updates prices in their own systems.

Output

Present the margin table, then the three scenario tables side-by-side. If a price increase scenario is being considered, append the customer messaging brief. End with: "Which scenario would you like to explore further?"

Zeplik output presentation

Present the final deliverable as a single polished artifact: clear headings, tables where the content is tabular, fenced code where it is code. Lead with the deliverable itself; keep process commentary to a single short line. If the skill produced multiple files or sections, end with a compact list of them with one-line purposes.
