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-negotiation-prep 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 4d 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 Negotiation Prep

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Negotiate a job offer or salary
  • Research market rates for their role
  • Create a counter-offer strategy
  • Understand total compensation packages
  • Mentions: "salary negotiation", "negotiate offer", "counter offer", "compensation", "how much should I ask for"

Core Capabilities

  • Research and validate market compensation
  • Build negotiation strategy and scripts
  • Calculate total compensation (not just base salary)
  • Prepare counter-offer responses
  • Identify negotiation leverage points
  • Navigate difficult salary conversations

The Negotiation Mindset

Key Principles:

  1. Negotiation is expected - companies budget for it
  2. 84% of employers expect candidates to negotiate
  3. Not negotiating leaves $500K-$1M on the table over a career
  4. The goal is win-win, not adversarial

What You're Really Negotiating:

  • Base salary
  • Signing bonus
  • Annual bonus/commission
  • Equity (stock options, RSUs)
  • Benefits (401k match, insurance)
  • Perks (vacation, remote work, professional development)
  • Start date
  • Title

Research Phase

Step 1: Determine Market Rate

Sources to Check:

  • Levels.fyi (best for tech)
  • Glassdoor (general, take with grain of salt)
  • LinkedIn Salary
  • Blind (anonymous reports)
  • PayScale
  • Salary.com
  • H1B salary data (publicly available)

Build a Range:

Low (25th percentile): $XXX,XXX
Target (50th percentile): $XXX,XXX  
High (75th percentile): $XXX,XXX
Stretch (90th percentile): $XXX,XXX

Step 2: Know Your Value

Factors That Increase Your Worth:

  • Years of relevant experience
  • Specialized/rare skills
  • Track record of results
  • In-demand certifications
  • Current competing offers
  • Referral from employee
  • Market demand in your field

Factors That May Limit:

  • Entry level or career change
  • Less experience than ideal candidate
  • Gaps in required skills
  • Location arbitrage (lower cost of living)

Step 3: Calculate Total Compensation
