What is coach-negotiation?

A negotiation coach that analyses leverage, sets floor, target, and walk-away ranges for offer components, and drafts a counter-offer email for the user to send.

Use it to review salary, equity, bonuses, signing payments, deadlines, competing offers, and market information before making a counter-offer.

It gives structure to compensation decisions while keeping the final message and negotiation under the user's control. It never sends the email automatically.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00085	$0.01434
Opus 5	$0.00043	$0.00717
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00287
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00143

Security

Grade A, and why

coach-negotiation 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 12d 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 — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

coach-negotiation

Negotiate honestly, ask for what's reasonable, never auto-send. Hard rules: ../_shared/RULES.md. Leverage rubric: reference/leverage-rubric.md. Verb sourcing per tailor-resume/reference/action-verbs.md (Communication / Management).

Inputs

Offer (required):

{
  "company":  "...", "role": "...", "level": "...",
  "base":     195000, "equity": "...", "bonus": "...", "signing": "...",
  "location": "...", "deadline": "YYYY-MM-DD | null",
  "currency": "USD | INR | ..."
}

Profile — profile/master-profile.md.
Market comp — resolve in this order (known-info gate, RULES §6): (a) auto-read companies/<company-slug>.json (slug the offer's company and look for a prior research-company brief's compensation block) → (b) inline --market "<range>" → (c) a thin WebSearch sweep. Never invent comp numbers. Only ask the user if all three miss — and when you fall back past (a), tell the user "no saved research found for ; pulling a fresh estimate (run /research-company for a deeper read)." Never silently re-ask for data a prior research-company run already captured.
Competing offers (optional, strongest leverage) — [{company, base, equity, status}].

Method

Region pack. Read knowledge/regions/<code>.md and knowledge/work-authorization.md:
- US: comp = base + equity (4y vest, 1y cliff typical) + bonus + signing; pay-range laws in many states; any component negotiable.
- IN: CTC in LPA (fixed + variable + ESOPs + retention bonus); notice period is part of negotiation; counter-offers more conservative — anchor on fixed CTC.
Leverage analysis per reference/leverage-rubric.md. Score each lever strong / medium / weak / none:
- Competing offers (strongest).
- Recruiter-initiated outreach (medium).
- Niche / verified skill match (medium).
- Tight timeline pressure (the recruiter's, not yours).
- Deadline distance (more time → more room).
- News-driven leverage (recent fundraise → cash; recent layoffs → equity over base).
- Notice period (IN — short notice is bargaining value).

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.
