## What it does

The skill covers the whole SaaS PAYG metering lifecycle. For setup it builds a serverless integration with SAM: ResolveCustomer, BatchMeterUsage and EventBridge. For existing traffic it helps find and inspect submitted records through CloudTrail Event History and Seller Reports.

Packaged `scripts/`, `assets/` and `references/` show how to structure a metering stack. They are a reference, not code to copy. Every seller-specific value — product code, regions, stage name, VMT tags, alarm thresholds — goes into the marked `TODO:` spots. The two-stack layout and the `awsmp-*` naming stay as they are.

One thing to weigh before you run it: the skill generates CloudFormation/SAM templates, Lambda handlers, IAM policies and `deploy.sh`, and those land in your AWS account. Metering mistakes hit revenue directly, so review every created resource and run the full test plan in `references/test-plan.md` before real billing traffic. Also note `CustomerIdentifier` is a deprecated legacy field, null for new SaaS integrations — new products use `CustomerAWSAccountId` and `LicenseArn` per usage record.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-marketplace-metering -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-marketplace-metering -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-marketplace-metering -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws aws-marketplace-metering
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-marketplace-metering -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --path skills/specialized-skills/aws-marketplace-skills/aws-marketplace-metering
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-marketplace-metering -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/HEAD/skills/specialized-skills/aws-marketplace-skills/aws-marketplace-metering/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- deploy a SAM metering pipeline for a SaaS PAYG product
- inspect BatchMeterUsage records and their statuses
- trace why a record came back DuplicateRecord or CustomerNotSubscribed
- pull billed history from Seller Reports
- check which region to call BatchMeterUsage in

## Example prompts
- Deploy AWS Marketplace metering for my SaaS product with SAM
- Why are my BatchMeterUsage records returning DuplicateRecord?
- Show billed usage from Seller Reports for last month

description: Deploys, queries, and debugs AWS Marketplace usage-based (PAYG) metering — the pipeline (ResolveCustomer, BatchMeterUsage, EventBridge via SAM) and querying/debugging metering records, statuses, failures, discrepancies. Covers Concurrent Agreements (CustomerAWSAccountId + LicenseArn), multi-product, CloudTrail Event History (90 days; never CloudTrail Lake), Seller Reports (Billed Revenue/Usage columns + CSV/SDDS parsing), existing-stack detection, metering region for BatchMeterUsage/MeterUsage (DisabledApiException), metered AMI/Container + IAM roles, where registration data lives (customer-profile table), legacy ProductCode + CustomerIdentifier, DuplicateRecord/CustomerNotSubscribed, bad LicenseArn. Also SCOPES adjacent asks — flat-rate/SaaS-Subscription "do I still meter", CCP included-units + overage, contract term/annual renewal, forecasting future bills/usage — with the right answer or a one-line redirect. Use for any BatchMeterUsage/ResolveCustomer or SaaS usage-billing question.

# AWS Marketplace Metering

## Overview

Complete lifecycle management for AWS Marketplace usage-based metering:

- **Setup (SaaS PAYG)** — deploy a new serverless metering integration (SAM, ResolveCustomer, BatchMeterUsage, EventBridge).
- **Query** — find, inspect, debug, analyze existing metering submissions (CloudTrail Event History ≤90 days; Seller Reports for billed history).

Scope is SaaS Usage-based (PAYG). SaaS Contract, Contract with Consumption Pricing (CCP), and AMI/Container are out of scope — redirect to public AWS docs.

> **Recommended:** the AWS MCP server provides sandboxed execution and audit logging.
>
> ⚠️ **AI-generated output — review before production. This skill is executed by an AI agent and
> can make mistakes.** Everything it generates (CloudFormation/SAM templates, Lambda handlers,
> IAM policies, `deploy.sh`) and everything it deploys to a seller's AWS account MUST be treated
> as a proposal to review, not a trusted artifact. Before any deployed stack carries PRODUCTION
> metering traffic (real billing), the seller MUST:
>
> - **Thoroughly review every resource the skill created or changed** — templates, Lambda code,
