salary-negotiation
Plan a compensation negotiation grounded in numbers and leverage, not nerves. Use when asked to negotiate salary, evaluate or counter a job offer, prepare for a comp conversation, or compare offers. Produces a negotiation plan — total-comp comparison across offers, your target/walk-away and BATNA, the value-based justification, the counter scripts, and what to negotiate beyond base.

# Salary Negotiation Skill Most people leave money on the table because they negotiate from anxiety instead of preparation. This skill replaces nerves with a plan: compare offers on **total comp** (not just base), set a target and a walk-away anchored to your BATNA, justify the ask with your value, and script the counter — including the levers beyond base salary that are often easier wins. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **The offer(s)** — base, bonus, equity, sign-on, and any other components (and competing offers, if any). - **Your situation** — current comp, your BATNA (best alternative — a competing offer, staying put), and how badly each side needs the other. - **Market data** — comparable ranges for the role/level/location (levels.fyi, Glassdoor, peers), if you have it. - **What matters to you** — cash now vs. equity upside, flexibility, title, start date. ## Output Format ### Negotiation Plan: [role] at [company] **1. Total-comp comparison** — never compare base-to-base. Lay out total annual comp across the offer(s) and your current/alternative (use the helper script). Equity and bonus often flip the ranking. **2. Your numbers** — **t

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.
