What membership costs

Paid is $39 a month, or $348 for a year — $29 a month, billed once, 26% less than paying monthly. Gold is $199 a month or $1,990 a year, on 30 seats by application. Free costs nothing and takes no card.

No trial and no founding cohort — the Free tier is the trial, and it has no clock on it. Yearly is shown first because it is the price I would rather you paid; every paid tier is also available month to month, cancellable from your account, with no minimum term.

The prices are final; checkout is not open yet. The feed, the ideas database with saves and boards, member profiles and the directory behind sign-in, notifications with one-click unsubscribe, and billing on Stripe are all built. The membership itself is not open: sign-up and checkout are switched off, git access to the private repos has nowhere to run yet, and the Telegram groups and the newsletter have not been built at all — until that changes there is nothing here to clone and nothing worth paying for. These are the prices membership opens at — they are not placeholders and they are not going to move — but nothing can be bought today, and the cards below mark which lines are already built and which are not.

Sign-up and checkout are not open yet: the buttons above lead to pages that cannot finish the job. The launch list below is the one thing on this page that works today.

How billing works

The rules, in plain words

Yearly is billed upfront
$348 for Paid, $1,990 for Gold — 26% less than twelve monthly payments, plus the full partner-perk set and early access to new skills on Paid.
Monthly renews every month
Cancel or switch to yearly any time from your account. No minimum term.
Cancel and keep the period
You keep everything until the end of the period you paid for; then the account drops to Free. The cancel page shows exactly what ends before you confirm, and offers pause or a Gold → Paid downgrade first.
Pause on Paid
Pause for 1–3 months instead of cancelling. Repos and groups pause with it.
Taxes
Prices are in USD. VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where required. International cards are accepted.
Upgrades
Paid → Gold is prorated once your application is approved. Downgrades apply at the end of the period.

Refunds

Paid: full refund within 14 days of your first payment — none once access to the paid repositories has been provisioned.

Gold: no refund once the gold repos have been issued.

You confirm this at checkout. Full text: Refund policy.

What stays after you cancel

You keep

  • Your account, handle and profile
  • Votes and comments you already made
  • Previews of every idea
  • The weekly newsletter and one full member post a month

Ends with the period

  • Git access — tokens and SSH keys are revoked
  • The private Telegram groups
  • Full member posts and the full ideas database
  • Partner perks and talk recordings

This is the rule, not a description of today: git access, the Telegram groups, the talks and the newsletter are not open yet, and each one starts obeying it the day it opens.

FAQ

Before you join

What does membership cost?

Free is free and takes no card. Paid runs $39 month to month, or $348 once for a year — that works out at $29 a month and saves 26%. Gold is $199 a month or $1,990 a year, on 30 seats handed out by application. Prices are in USD; where VAT or sales tax applies, it is calculated and added at checkout from the address you enter.

Is there a trial?

No, and there is no founding cohort either. The Free tier does the job a trial does, without a clock: previews of every idea, a vote in the feed, one full member post a month, and the newsletter once the first issue goes out.

How will I get the repos once I have paid?

Git access is not open yet, so the honest answer is how it is designed to work rather than how it works today. Your first payment unlocks the Get access page in your account; from there you mint a read-only token or add an SSH key, and that request is what provisions your access. Then you clone over HTTPS or SSH, or download a repo as a ZIP from the same page, which also gives you the commands to wire it into Claude Code or Cursor. Until that ships there is nothing to clone, so checkout stays closed — it opens the day git access does.

Can I use the code commercially, and what is the licence?

Yes — in your own projects and in your clients’ projects, including inside AI agents you build. What you may not do is resell it, republish the sources or the skills, pass your access to anyone else, or train a public model on the code. Cancel later and whatever you already cloned stays yours; only the updates stop. The licence is settled; the access it covers is not open yet.

Can my team join on one membership?

No. A membership is one person. Git access will be personal, read-only and non-transferable, and sharing a token or an SSH key ends the membership without a refund. Team plans are not part of this version, so for now the honest answer is one seat per person — buy the seats you need, and talk to me first if that does not fit.

Can I pay with a company card, and do I get an invoice?

Yes. Checkout takes company cards and international cards, collects a billing address and a VAT or tax ID where one applies, and handles reverse charge for B2B buyers. Every payment produces an invoice you can download from your account.

Do I need a paid Claude subscription on top?

Membership does not include model access and does not resell it. The repos are agent skills, prompts and code that you run on your own account, with whatever plan you already have. Some are written for Claude Code, others are plain Markdown and prompts any capable agent can read.

How does support work?

There is no ticket queue. Questions belong in the feed, where paid members can post and comment, and answers stay in the open where everyone can read them rather than disappearing into a DM. Gold will add a weekly AMA thread once there are Gold members to answer. For billing or account problems, message me on Telegram or X.

What is the difference between Paid and Gold?

In one sentence: Paid gets you the tools, Gold gets you time with me. Everything in Paid carries over — the repos and skills, the full ideas database, posting rights, the community — and Gold adds gold-only repos, early access to new tools, a weekly AMA thread I answer myself, a public case review every one to two weeks, and live talks. The Gold layer is the newest part of this and none of it has started; the seats open when it does.

How does Gold admission work?

Gold has 30 seats. You apply from the Gold card, I read the applications myself and approve them in order, and you can buy once you are approved and a seat is free. When every seat is taken you join the waitlist and get a note the moment one opens.

Can I upgrade to Gold, or pause instead of cancelling?

Both. Paid to Gold is prorated once your application is approved: you pay the difference for the rest of the current period and the plan switches immediately. Pause is available on Paid — one to three months, set from your account, then everything resumes on its own. Git access and the private groups pause alongside the billing, from the day each of them opens.

Can I get a refund?

Paid: full refund within 14 days of your first payment — none once access to the paid repositories has been provisioned. Gold: no refund once the gold repos have been issued. Provisioning is your own action, so the window stays open until you ask for access; the trade-off is spelled out at checkout and you confirm it there. Cancelling later stops the next charge but never claws back the period you are in.

Can I delete my account and my data?

Yes, from your account, and you can export everything as JSON first. Deleting cancels the subscription and revokes git and group access immediately, anonymises your posts and comments, and releases your handle after 30 days. You confirm by typing your handle, then get an email with a 24-hour window to change your mind. Stripe keeps the invoice records.
