One thing to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Explain MotherDuck pricing and ROI tradeoffs. Use for any pricing, cost, billing, plan-comparison, instance-sizing, chargeback, or budget question — when an economic_buyer, technical_owner, or analytics_lead asks about spend, budget guardrails, workload cost drivers, plan fit, vendor cost comparisons, or whether MotherDuck is worth adopting.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Pricing and ROI

Use this skill when the user is asking whether MotherDuck is financially sensible for their workload, team, or project. This is a workflow skill focused on cost framing, not implementation detail.

Source Of Truth

  • Always verify current numbers, plan limits, and feature entitlements against the live public pricing page before answering.
  • If the MotherDuck MCP ask_docs_question feature is available, use it first for pricing-related documentation lookups.
  • Use the live pricing, Hypertenancy, and Trust & Security pages for exact commercial framing.

Default Posture

  • Do not hardcode pricing numbers unless you have verified them in the current turn.
  • When quoting numbers, include the verification date and the public source you checked.
  • Separate storage, compute, and operational complexity in every answer.
  • Map workload shape to cost shape before comparing vendors or plans.
  • Treat many pricing questions as risk, predictability, or procurement questions rather than purely technical ones.

Workflow

  1. Identify the workload shape, team size, and comparison baseline.
  2. Determine whether the real concern is raw spend, predictability, procurement, or operational overhead.
  3. Map the workload to MotherDuck cost buckets and plan posture.
  4. Frame ROI in terms of systems replaced, complexity removed, and faster delivery.
  5. Call out what still needs live pricing-page or sales confirmation.
