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

negotiating-offers 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.

Negotiating Offers

Help the user negotiate job offers and compensation using strategies from 3 product leaders.

How to Help

When the user asks for help negotiating an offer:

  1. Understand their situation - Ask about the offer details, what they're hoping for, and what leverage or alternatives they have
  2. Reframe beyond salary - Help them think about what they need to succeed in the role, not just personal compensation
  3. Prepare the approach - Guide them on the right language, timing, and framing for the negotiation
  4. Coach on execution - Help them practice the actual conversation and anticipate responses

Core Principles

Negotiate for success factors before compensation

Phyl Terry: "Before we talk about money, I want to think about the things that will set me up to succeed. There's $10 million of tech debt here - are we on board that this will be priority one?" Identify critical blockers (tech debt, headcount, budget) during the interview process and ask for specific authority to fix them as part of the offer negotiation.

Use collaborative language - "Are you open to...?"

Phyl Terry: "87% of the time when you ask for more money, you get it. Say 'Are you open to $X? That's what I was hoping for. Is that something we can talk about?'" Conduct the negotiation live (phone or in-person) with the hiring manager if possible. Use "Are you open to...?" to keep the conversation collaborative and lower-risk.

Understand what you're really optimizing for

Bob Moesta: "Compensation is often a surrogate for other needs like respect or learning. I can pay people less if I give them better experiences." Before negotiating aggressively on salary, identify if you're really seeking money or something else (learning, autonomy, respect, growth). Sometimes the right move is to accept less money for better experience.

Consider alternative arrangements

Paul Millerd: "A big move is turning your current job into a contract job - employers are more open than people think. Say 'I want to work three days a week as a contractor. Are you open to this?'" If flexibility matters more than maximizing salary, propose specific alternative arrangements. Frame the reduced risk for the employer as a benefit.

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.
