8 fill-in planning files · $17 · instant download · not a prompt dump.

Built for solo builders and small teams on AI APIs. Pieces bought separately would run ~$8 at $1 each for the one-job tools; the Kit is the full system: ledger, permissions map, fallback matrix, kill-switch card, outcome-cost sheet, worksheets, weekly decision page, access-cut drill.

AI API Access-Cut Planning Kit - $17 USD base price

After Cursor or OpenAI access cuts, fill these sheets.

For solo builders and small teams that depend on AI APIs. Write down your dependencies, fallback options and who can pause a workflow before vendor access changes. The free Signal is optional reading, not a required first step. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout.

Start here: row 1 of the portability ledger.

What's inside (8 fill-in files)

1. Portability ledger — one row per dependency (tool, vendor, keys, export path, replace-by)
2. Permissions map — who may spend, publish, delete, rotate keys
3. Fallback matrix — primary, fallback, local/open-weight, trigger, RTO
4. Kill-switch card — revoke, disable spend, pause agents, notify owner
5. Outcome-cost sheet — setup, review, rework → cost per acceptable outcome
6. Worksheets — API vs self-host, open-weight economics, supervision cost
7. Weekly research-to-decision — one page: continue / stop / start
8. Shock drill (ILLUSTRATIVE) — filled Cursor/OpenAI access-cut stack — type over it; do not treat sample rows as your stack

Not a prompt dump. Not news. Not a second manifesto.

Who is it for?

Portability ledger, row 1 (illustrative): Tool = Cursor | Vendor = Anysphere | Keys = env var + team vault | Export path = settings JSON, weekly | Replace-by = VS Code + Continue.dev, about 2 days

Kill-switch card, line 1 (illustrative): Revoke = vendor API keys page | Owner = you | Disable spend = usage cap to 0 | Notify = text the owner

These two lines show the shape of a filled sheet. The kit also includes one fully filled Cursor/OpenAI access-cut drill as a worked example.
