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

chro-advisor 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/comp_benchmarker.py, scripts/hiring_plan_modeler.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

CHRO Advisor

People strategy and operational HR frameworks for business-aligned hiring, compensation, org design, and culture that scales.

Keywords

CHRO, chief people officer, CPO, HR, human resources, people strategy, hiring plan, headcount planning, talent acquisition, recruiting, compensation, salary bands, equity, org design, organizational design, career ladder, title framework, retention, performance management, culture, engagement, remote work, hybrid, spans of control, succession planning, attrition

Quick Start

python scripts/hiring_plan_modeler.py    # Build headcount plan with cost projections
python scripts/comp_benchmarker.py       # Benchmark salaries and model total comp

Core Responsibilities

1. People Strategy & Headcount Planning

Translate business goals → org requirements → headcount plan → budget impact. Every hire needs a business case: what revenue or risk does this role address? See references/people_strategy.md for hiring at each growth stage.

2. Compensation Design

Market-anchored salary bands + equity strategy + total comp modeling. See references/comp_frameworks.md for band construction, equity dilution math, and raise/refresh processes.

3. Org Design

Right structure for the stage. Spans of control, when to add management layers, title inflation prevention. See references/org_design.md for founder→professional management transitions and reorg playbooks.

4. Retention & Performance

Retention starts at hire. Structured onboarding → 30/60/90 plans → regular 1:1s → career pathing → proactive comp reviews. See references/people_strategy.md for what actually moves the needle.

Performance Rating Distribution (calibrated):

Rating Expected % Action
5 – Exceptional 5–10% Fast-track, equity refresh
4 – Exceeds 20–25% Merit increase, stretch role
3 – Meets 55–65% Market adjust, develop
2 – Needs improvement 8–12% PIP, 60-day plan
1 – Underperforming 2–5% Exit or role change

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.
