offer-comparison

offer-comparison is a cursor rule for Cursor from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 92 tokens per session (941 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A four-year comparison of job offers that adds salary, bonuses, equity vesting, and retirement-plan matches over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare offers, model equity vesting, find the crossover year, and identify which compensation terms are worth negotiating.
Why use it?
It replaces vague claims about upside with year-by-year totals and shows when one offer overtakes another. It also makes the risks of private-company equity explicit.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc).

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/offer_comparison.py offers.json.

About the project

PM Skills is a collection of plain-Markdown instructions that teach AI assistants structured methods for handling professional, personal, and life-admin tasks. People use it with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex, and other supported agents for work such as writing product requirements, reviewing documents, or planning difficult situations.

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

offer-comparison 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 7d 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.

Offer Comparison Skill

Offers are quoted as feelings — "the startup has more upside" — but they resolve to numbers with dates on them. This skill computes the curves: what each offer pays in each of the next four years, where the lines cross, and which lever in the weaker offer would actually move it.

What This Skill Produces

  • The comp table — per-year and cumulative totals per offer, from the script
  • The crossover analysis — which offer leads when, and what assumption that ranking is hostage to
  • The risk translation — private equity restated honestly rather than at face value
  • Negotiation levers — ranked by dollar impact per unit of asking-awkwardness

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Per offer: base, bonus %, equity grant value, vest years, cliff months, vest frequency, 401(k) match (% and cap), any promised refreshers
  • The user's horizon — expecting to stay 2 years or 4 changes the answer, because cliffs do
  • Equity risk view — public RSUs count at face; for private equity, agree a discount with the user (e.g. 50–75% haircut pre-Series B) and pass the discounted number to the script labeled as such

Programmatic Helper

python3 scripts/offer_comparison.py offers.json
cat offers.json | python3 scripts/offer_comparison.py - --json

Input shape in the script docstring. The script computes vesting month-by-month (a 12-month cliff releases the accrued year), bonuses and match annually, and reports the cumulative leader and crossover year. It values equity at exactly the number you give it — the risk adjustment is your input, visible, never a hidden assumption.

Framework: The Judgment Around the Math

  • The cliff vs the horizon — an 18-month expected stay makes year-4 equity fiction; compare at the user's actual horizon, not the grant's
  • A risky dollar ≠ a salary dollar — never compare private paper to cash 1:1; show the comparison at 2–3 discount levels if the user resists picking one
  • Refreshers are policy, not promise — model them only if written down; otherwise mention them as upside outside the table
  • Levers, ranked: base (compounds into bonus and match) → equity grant → signing bonus (one-time, easiest yes) → cliff/start-date adjustments

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.
