What is negotiating-offers?

A guide for negotiating an employment offer, including pay, shares in the company, title, responsibilities, and working conditions.

It helps prepare negotiation strategies, call agendas, email scripts, success conditions, and alternative work arrangements.

It helps reveal trade-offs beyond salary and turns a vague counteroffer into a clear, practical discussion.

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	$0.00022	$0.02205
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00882
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00441

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 2mo 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Negotiating Offers

Scope

Covers

Negotiating an employment offer (cash + equity + role scope) with a clear plan and scripts
Negotiating success conditions (resources, budget, headcount, authority, expectations) before/alongside compensation
Clarifying “features vs experiences” trade-offs (money/title vs learning/autonomy/mentorship)
Proposing alternative structures when helpful (e.g., part-time or contract as a bridge)

When to use

“Help me negotiate this offer (salary/equity/title/level/start date).”
“Write a counteroffer email + call agenda.”
“I want to negotiate for resources so I can succeed in the role.”
“I’m optimizing for learning/flexibility, not just comp—help me structure the ask.”

When NOT to use

You are exploring a career pivot and don’t yet have an offer — use career-transitions to clarify direction first
You need to design a sales compensation plan or quota structure — use sales-compensation
You want to build an internal promotion case (not negotiate an external offer) — use building-a-promotion-case
You need general manager-relationship tactics (not offer-stage negotiation) — use managing-up
You need legal/financial/tax advice (this skill is not a substitute for a lawyer/CPA)
You’re negotiating a vendor/enterprise contract, severance agreement, or union/CBA terms
You don’t have any concrete offer or decision context yet (first gather basics; then use this)
You’re in an urgent HR escalation (PIP/investigation/termination risk) where process/legal counsel matters most

Inputs

Minimum required

Target role/company + current stage (verbal offer vs written offer)
Offer details you’re comfortable sharing (can be ranges or redacted): base, bonus, equity, level/title, location/remote, start date
Your decision timeline (deadline, other interviews/offers, constraints)
Your priorities (must-haves, nice-to-haves, dealbreakers) and what you’re optimizing for (features vs experiences)
Your best alternative / leverage (can be vague; do not disclose confidential details)
Role-success hypotheses: what resources/commitments you’ll need to succeed (team, budget, authority, scope, tech debt, OKRs)

Changes

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.
