evaluate-offer

evaluate-offer is a skill for Claude Code from tmargolis/career-navigator. It costs 51 tokens per session (2,226 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured review of a job offer that considers the person's employment situation, fit for the role, likely use of their skills, pay compared with market information, and negotiating position. It saves the review for later offer negotiations or comparisons.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether an offer suits your career and circumstances, judge compensation fairness, prepare negotiation points, and compare it with other offers.
Why use it?
It helps turn an offer into a reasoned decision instead of relying on a single salary figure or guesswork. It also identifies facts and leverage points to prepare before negotiating.

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

evaluate-offer 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 1mo 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 — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run evaluate-offer to produce an honest OfferEvaluationReport and persist an OfferContext JSON file to: {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/offer-context-{application_id}.json

so negotiate-offer and compare-offers can consume it later.

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/writes:

  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/profile.md
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/ExperienceLibrary.json
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/tracker.json (summary rows)
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/applications/<application_id>.json (the offer application's notes[] + stage_history[])
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/contacts/<company-slug>.json (that company's contacts, when recruiter context matters)
  • {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/offer-context-{application_id}.json

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 required files, output:

Offer evaluation skipped: run /career-navigator:launch to initialize CareerNavigator/.

2. Identify the offer-stage application

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

  • status is "offer"

Cases:

  • If exactly one such application exists: use its id as application_id.
  • If multiple exist: ask for the company and role (or the job link / deadline) and pick the matching application.
  • If none exist: ask the user to log the offer first via /career-navigator:track-application.

Keep from the matched row: application (the "<company> — <role>" label), detail_file, contacts_file, latest_stage, latest_stage_date, notes_count, stage_count. Then read {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/ + detail_file for this one application — its stage_history[] and notes[] are the interview record the evaluation reasons over, and they no longer exist inside tracker.json. Do not load detail files for any other application.

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.
