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

compare-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 9d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run compare-offers to produce an OfferComparisonReport across all active offer-stage applications in the tracker, using persisted OfferContext files when available (from evaluate-offer).

Workflow

Directory sharing (host integration)

If the host UI asks you for a directory to share with an agent during this skill's run, share only your {user_dir} job-search folder (the one containing CareerNavigator/).

This skill reads:

  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/profile.md
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/ExperienceLibrary.json
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/tracker.json (summary rows)
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/applications/<application_id>.json (one per offer being compared)
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/contacts/<company-slug>.json (only when naming the person to negotiate with)
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/offer-context-{application_id}.json (if present)

Do not share the whole workspace or unrelated folders.

1. Confirm required data exists

Application data uses the split layout defined in references/tracker-schema.md — read it before any read or write.

Read:

  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/profile.md
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/ExperienceLibrary.json
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/tracker.json

If missing, output:

Compare-offers skipped: run /career-navigator:launch to initialize CareerNavigator/.

2. Load all offer-stage applications

From the tracker.json summary rows, select applications where:

  • status is "offer"

If none exist, output:

No active offers found in your tracker. Log an offer first via /career-navigator:track-application.

For each selected offer only — never for the rest of the pipeline — read {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/ + the row's detail_file. The comparison reasons over the full interview and negotiation history in stage_history[] and notes[], and neither array exists in tracker.json any more; comparing from the summary rows alone produces offers with no history behind them. Keep each row's application label, latest_stage, latest_stage_date, contacts_file, and contact_count alongside the detail.

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.
