Use this skill whenever the user wants help negotiating a job offer or understanding market compensation — e.g. "help me negotiate this offer," "what should I counter with," "is this offer competitive for a Staff Engineer in Austin," "what's the market rate for a Senior PM at a Series B startup," "draft a counter-offer email," or any request to evaluate or push back on salary, bonus, or equity terms. Also applies to "should I accept this offer" and requests to compare a competing offer. Trigger this even if the user only pastes offer numbers with no formal offer letter, and even if they don't use the word "skill." Requires the offer details (base salary at minimum; bonus, equity, location, and level if available) and the target role/title. If web search tools are available, use them to pull current market-rate data; if not, use general knowledge but state explicitly that the figures may be approximate or dated and recommend the user cross-check against a live source (e.g. levels.fyi, Glassdoor, Blind, Payscal

Bonus, equity, benefits, level, and location if available. Required. 2. **Target role/title and location** — required, though this can often be read directly off the offer itself. 3. **Optional**: a competing offer, current compensation, years of experience, company size/stage, or a specific concern the person wants to focus on (e.g. "I only care about base, not equity"). ## Step 1: Extract everything Pull the full offer as given — base, bonus, equity (and its vesting/strike details if provided), benefits, level, location — plus the target role and any competing offer or current compensation mentioned. ## Step 2: Research market rate If `WebSearch` or `WebFetch` tools are available, use t
