saas-replacement-planner
Evaluates which SaaS tools can be replaced with AI agents. Takes a list of current SaaS subscriptions with costs, assesses replacement feasibility, estimates build vs buy economics, identifies Claude+MCP alternatives, and generates a comprehensive replacement plan with priority matrix, ROI analysis, implementation timeline, and risk assessment.
What this skill does
# SaaS Replacement Planner Evaluate a company's SaaS stack and produce a rigorous, actionable plan that quantifies the ROI of migrating from subscription software to AI-agent-powered alternatives. Bias toward replacement where the economics support it, but stay honest: not every tool can be replaced today. ## Contents - `references/analysis-framework.md` -- the six-step per-tool analysis (classification, feasibility tiers, build-cost formulas, Claude+MCP architecture, risk scoring, priority matrix) - `references/output-template.md` -- full `saas-replacement-plan.md` document structure - `references/patterns.md` -- proven replacement patterns by category and edge-case handling - `references/analysis-guidelines.md` -- estimation rigor, honesty rules, OneWave AI thesis, and output quality standards ## Workflow 1. **Gather input.** Collect the SaaS tool list. Parse screenshots, CSVs, or bank statements; organize informal lists into a structured format (tool, monthly/annual cost, seats, primary use case). Ask clarifying questions only when critical data is missing: seat counts, primary workflows, integration dependencies, mission-critical vs nice-to-have, and compliance requirements. 2. **Research current pricing.** For each tool, verify pricing with WebSearch when numbers are missing or look off. Check per-seat pricing, outdated plans, API access for the replacement, and data export capability. 3. **Analyze each tool.** Run the complete six-step framework in `references/analysis-framework.md` for every tool. Do not skip tools or give superficial analysis. Apply matching patterns from `references/patterns.md`. 4. **Build the priority matrix.** Plot all tools on the Impact vs Effort axes. Sequence replacements and group tools that share infrastructure (e.g., all needing Supabase) to reduce incremental build cost. 5. **Generate the timeline.** Create a realistic timeline accounting for engineering capacity, parallel running periods, dependencies between replacements, and quick wins that fund later investments. 6. **Write the plan.** Generate `saas-replacement-plan.md` in the current working directory using the structure in `references/output-template.md`. Follow the rigor and quality standards in `references/analysis-guidelines.md`. 7. **Present key findings.** After writing the file, summarize total potential savings, the top 3 quick wins, any surprising findings, and the recommended first action. ## Core Principle Every SaaS subscription is a recurring tax on the business; every agent replacement is an investment in owned infrastructure that compounds over time. Make the numbers speak clearly and let the ROI make the argument. See `references/analysis-guidelines.md` for the full OneWave AI thesis and how to frame the analysis.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
