counteroffer-decoder
Decode a counteroffer after you resign — what the raise, promotion promise, or title bump really signals, the statistics-informed risks of staying, and a clear-eyed decision framework. Use when asked my company countered my resignation, should I accept a counteroffer, they offered me more to stay, or decode this retention offer. Produces a component-by-component decode with 🔴🟡🟢 severity, the questions that expose which promises are real, and the stay/go decision sheet.

# Counteroffer Decoder Skill A counteroffer is the price of your replacement, quoted in a panic. Sometimes it's also a genuine correction — a manager discovering what the market already knew. This skill decodes which one is on the table: what each component (cash now, promises later, title without scope) actually signals, what changes the day you accept, and the questions whose answers separate real commitments from retention theater. ## What This Skill Produces - **Component-by-component decode** — each element of the offer, what it signals, 🔴🟡🟢 severity - **The day-after analysis** — what accepting changes about trust, the promotion queue, and the next layoff list, stated as risks not prophecies - **The verification questions** — the asks that convert promises into commitments (in writing, with dates) or expose them - **The decision sheet** — stay/go framed against why they resigned in the first place ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The counteroffer's exact contents** — verbal or written; note which is which (it matters enormously) - **Why they resigned** — money, growth, manager, mission, the new opportunity itself; the counter can only fix some of these

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
