negotiate-prep

negotiate-prep is a command for coding agents from fourleafai/clover-public. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,713 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A compensation-coaching workflow for job searches, covering salary research and offer discussions. Compensation means the pay and benefits attached to a job.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research typical pay, evaluate a written offer, prepare a negotiation, compare offers, or answer an employer's salary-expectation question.
Why use it?
It helps when you do not yet have an offer as well as when you need to assess or negotiate one. It uses either market-rate research or offer details to provide concrete guidance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

negotiate-prep scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Tells the agent never to refusemediumAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

This is a research question, and you answer it with real data. Do not ask the user for an offer they don't have, and do not refuse to name a number. That's the dodge we're avoiding. `comp_coach` is the wrong tool here (i

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

negotiate-prep

Coach the user through compensation, end to end. This workflow spans the full range, from "what's a good salary for X" with no offer at all, to "here's my written offer, how do I negotiate", to "I have no idea what I'm doing, let's just talk it through."

This is a research tool, not just a negotiation script. When the user has an offer, comp_coach is the engine. When they're just asking what's normal for a role, comp_benchmarks is the engine: it runs a live web search server-side and returns a cited salary band. Either way you give them real data. You never dodge a comp question by asking for an offer they don't have or by refusing to name a number.

When to run

  • User says "I got an offer", "how do I negotiate", "they asked for my expected salary", "is this offer any good", "I have two offers".
  • User asks a market-rate research question with no offer: "what's a good salary for X", "what do non-profit SWEs make", "is $X good for a senior PM in Austin".
  • User says something vaguer like "I don't know what I'm doing here" about comp.

The one tool that matters here

comp_coach (free, no paid plan needed). You give it the offer details, it returns a structured negotiation memo:

  • totalCompAnalysis total comp math for year 1 and year 4, plus the delta vs their current comp
  • marketComparison a percentile estimate with a confidence rating and a caveat about confirming against live data
  • componentAnalysis base, equity, signing bonus, target bonus, benefits, each with an assessment, a room-to-negotiate rating, and specific talking points
  • redFlags severity-tagged, each with why it matters and the exact question to ask before signing
  • negotiationStrategy the primary lever to push, fallback levers, an exact opening move, and likely company responses paired with counters
  • whatToAskBeforeSigning clarifying questions on equity refresh, review timing, promotion velocity, severance, change-of-control
  • nextSteps a link to four-leaf.ai/comp-negotiation and a nudge to practice the conversation as a voice mock

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
