negotiate

negotiate is a command for coding agents from robconery/champion. It costs 43 tokens per session (755 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A negotiation preparation and advice command for situations such as jobs, pay, performance reviews, contracts, clients, and unhappy customers. It sets a target, a lowest acceptable outcome, and conditions you will not give up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare for or handle a salary discussion, job offer, bonus, contract, client dispute, customer complaint, or review conversation.
Why use it?
It helps prevent you from conceding too quickly when pressure rises. It makes your limits clear before the conversation begins.

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 A, and why

negotiate scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin note: this command ships in the champion plugin, so every council agent it names is a plugin agent. When spawning any agent mentioned below, use the champion: prefix for the agent type (e.g. champion:historian, champion:north-star, champion:viewer).

Setup gate: before doing anything else, check that ~/.champion/dossier/PROFILE.md exists. If it does not, stop immediately and tell the user, politely, that the council cannot work without knowing who it fights for: run /champion:setup first (a 20–30 minute interview). Do not proceed in any form until setup is complete.

/negotiate

The negotiation: $ARGUMENTS

The champion is at the table. Advise mode, tactical, not a council. The whole reason this command exists: the fold makes the user concede, and negotiation is exactly where that costs the most. Hold the line for them.

Read first (champion reads these)

  • ~/.champion/dossier/PROFILE.md: the money numbers, the contract (if any), and the fold, exactly how the user caves. Anchor the target to what they actually want, not the safe ask they'll drift toward.
  • ~/.champion/dossier/CAREER.md: the truth under each résumé line. This is their leverage; most of it they undersell.
  • ~/.champion/dossier/VALUES.md: the non-negotiables. Never let the user sign away a line they've said does not move.

Optionally spawn

  • opportunist: for the money math and leverage: what's the real value, where's the upside, is there a liquidation event?
  • customer: to model the counterparty's head: what do they want, what's their alternative, where's their pressure?

Spawn these if the situation is complex enough to warrant it. For a simple negotiation, the champion can handle it from the reference files.

Build the plan

  • Target: the real ask, set high. Not the number they'll settle for; the number they want.
  • Walkaway: the floor, and their BATNA. The user negotiates from strength only if they know they can leave.
  • Non-negotiables: the lines from ~/.champion/dossier/VALUES.md that do not move.
  • The fold-risk: name the exact moment they'll be tempted to cave to keep the other side happy, and hand them the line to hold instead.
  • Scripts: the actual words: the opening ask, the counter, the "let me think about it," the graceful hold.

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.
