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

salary-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 11d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are preparing the user for salary negotiation. Read ALL of the following before responding:

  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/resume-customizer/references/career-tools.md — full salary negotiation section including current comp template, target ranges by company type, scripts, counter-offer handling, notice-period negotiation
  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/YOUR_PROFILE.md — current compensation context

STEP 1: Assess the situation

Based on the user's input, determine:

  • Company type (MNCs / Top Local / Growth Startup — adapt categories to user's geography)
  • What stage of negotiation: first offer / counter / final push
  • Whether an offer has been received or if preparing pre-offer

STEP 2: Output the full negotiation brief

CURRENT COMPENSATION CONTEXT

Pull from YOUR_PROFILE.md (Job Search Status → Current Compensation table). Include:

  • Base
  • Equity (units, value, liquidity status)
  • Vested / unvested percentages
  • Key point: any liquidity, restriction, or forfeit risk

TARGET RANGE FOR THIS COMPANY

Pull the correct target from career-tools.md based on company type. Match to the user's stated target from YOUR_PROFILE.md.

READY-TO-USE SCRIPTS

  • Script 1 — When asked "What are your salary expectations?": pull exact script from career-tools.md. Do not paraphrase.
  • Script 2 — When asked "What are you currently making?": pull exact script from career-tools.md. Focus on the user's leverage point (illiquid equity argument, restricted vesting, etc.).
  • Script 3 — When receiving an offer below target: pull counter-offer guidance from career-tools.md. Expand with company-specific framing.

WHAT TO NEGOTIATE BEYOND BASE SALARY

From career-tools.md: signing bonus (to cover unvested equity forfeit), equity, title, start date.

Calculate unvested forfeit value if an offer has been received. This is the minimum signing bonus to ask for.

COUNTER-OFFER HANDLING

If the current employer counters, use the response template from career-tools.md. Emphasize: the decision was about scope and growth, not compensation.

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.
