## What it does

The skill structures tiers and discount ladders for product launches during the RAMP Assemble phase. It assigns features across named plans and aligns price points with message-house pillars. The tool also drafts deadline rationales for early-bird discounts. For mobile releases, it factors in platform constraints from App Store Connect and Google Play Console.

All proposed price claims and refund terms are recorded as candidates in `memory/events/claims.ndjson` using `registry-events.py`. This boundary is strict. The skill never writes live records directly to `decisions.md` or `memory/claims/`. Downstream, `offer-claims-registry` formalizes approved launch terms into canonical records.
