salary-estimate

salary-estimate is a skill for Claude Code from leopu00/job-hunter-team. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A salary-estimation procedure that chooses salary data in order: a declared range, a local cached estimate, or later fallback levels. A cache is stored data reused to avoid fetching it again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve salary ranges by position and estimate pay from the technology stack, seniority, country, and work mode.
Why use it?
It supplies salary information when a job record has no stated range and avoids repeatedly fetching estimates that change infrequently.

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-estimate 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.

salary-estimate — hierarchical estimate with a local cache

Why it exists

Snapshot 2026-05-17 (43 Kimi scores): 41 scores out of 43 with salary_fit=5/10 (the "no data no bias" default), 2 with real values from an explicit JD. Result: salary_fit (weight 10/100) was de facto inert — the Scorer's decision space shrunk from 100 to 95.

Cause: nobody was populating salary_estimated_*. The Scorer is honest, it does not make things up, and with no data it falls back to the default. User decision: build a local cache of the estimates, so the first fetch costs and the following ones are free. "Salaries do not change from week to week, they change from year to year".

4 levels (in order, stop at the first one that produces a range)

LEVEL 1 — Declared range (position)

If positions.salary_declared_min and salary_declared_max are not NULL → use those, no estimate. The Scrittore can call:

python3 /app/shared/skills/salary_estimate.py --position-id 42

The script reads the declared values from the DB and returns level=1 with the numbers.

LEVEL 2 — Local cache

Path: /jht_home/.cache/salary_estimates.json. Key: (stack, seniority, country, mode). TTL 30 days.

python3 /app/shared/skills/salary_estimate.py \
    --stack python --seniority junior --country IT --mode remote

Hit → JSON with level=2, source=cache, min, max. Miss → falls through to L3 or L4.

LEVEL 3 — Web search (stub, depends on F-2)

For now it returns None: the skill falls straight through to L4. Once F-2 (Scout web access) is available, the Scout/Analista will populate the cache via web search on Glassdoor/Levels/Indeed. From then on the first lookup of a new combination does a single fetch, then 29 days of free hits.

LEVEL 4 — Neutral default + flag

If every level above fails → it returns level=4, min=null, max=null, estimation_failed=true, reason="no_data_default". The Scorer sets salary_fit=5 AND adds no_data_default to score.notes — so that the Mentor (downstream) does not propagate the 5 as a real datum but as "N/A" (see bug #27, Mentor fix).

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.
