The Salary skill is a sophisticated negotiation support engine designed to bridge the information asymmetry between employers and employees. It functions by analyzing real-time market data to establish a defendable compensation baseline. Beyond simple salary benchmarking, the skill dissects total compensation packages—including equity, performance bonuses, signing bonuses, and non-monetary benefits—to ensure users understand the full economic value of an offer. It serves as an automated strategist, providing contextualized scripts and psychological framing for high-stakes professional conversations. By replacing vague feelings of worth with objective data, it helps users anchor negotiations firmly in market reality.
Installation
To add the Salary skill to your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ethagent/salary
Once installed, you can invoke the skill by tagging it or starting a conversation flow within your agent interface.
Use Cases
- Pre-Offer Preparation: Use the skill to research the salary band for your specific role, years of experience, and geographic location before entering the interview process.
- Offer Evaluation: Input the details of a job offer to determine if the base, bonus, and equity components align with current industry standards.
- Negotiation Planning: Generate customized communication scripts to address low-ball offers or to pivot discussions toward total compensation when budget constraints are cited by the employer.
Example Prompts
- "I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 7 years of experience based in Austin. What is the current market salary range for my profile, and what equity should I be expecting in a Series B startup?"
- "I just received a job offer for $140,000 base with a 10% bonus. The company says they cannot go higher, but I know their top-of-band is higher. Help me draft a response that politely pushes for more base or a higher sign-on bonus without sounding aggressive."
- "My manager is telling me that a raise isn't possible this quarter due to budget cuts. Build me a strategy to discuss my compensation based on my performance metrics from the last 12 months."
Tips & Limitations
- Tips: Always verify provided market data against internal company reports or verified salary databases like Levels.fyi or Pave if available. Use the 'tone' settings to ensure the output matches your personal communication style.
- Limitations: The skill is a tool for support and strategy; it cannot conduct negotiations on your behalf. Accuracy of data relies on the granularity of information you provide; always provide specific details about industry, company stage, and location for the best results.
