offer-comparison
Compare two or more job offers as total-comp curves over four years — vesting cliffs, bonuses, 401(k) match, and the crossover year computed, not vibed. Use when asked to compare job offers, which offer pays more over time, model my equity vesting, or is the startup offer actually worth it. Produces a year-by-year and cumulative comp table per offer, the crossover analysis, and negotiation levers ranked by dollar impact.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill offer-comparison --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Offer Comparison Skill Offers are quoted as feelings — "the startup has more upside" — but they resolve to numbers with dates on them. This skill computes the curves: what each offer pays in each of the next four years, where the lines cross, and which lever in the weaker offer would actually move it. ## What This Skill Produces - **The comp table** — per-year and cumulative totals per offer, from the script - **The crossover analysis** — which offer leads when, and what assumption that ranking is hostage to - **The risk translation** — private equity restated honestly rather than at face value - **Negotiation levers** — ranked by dollar impact per unit of asking-awkwardness ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Per offer:** base, bonus %, equity grant value, vest years, cliff months, vest frequency, 401(k) match (% and cap), any promised refreshers - **The user's horizon** — expecting to stay 2 years or 4 changes the answer, because cliffs do - **Equity risk view** — public RSUs count at face; for private equity, agree a discount with the user (e.g. 50–75% haircut pre-Series B) and pass the discounted number to the script *labeled as such* ## Programmatic Helper

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill offer-comparison --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
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.
