Founder guide to GTM compensation — what you can afford, how to set OTE and equity, budget guardrails, valuing packages for candidates, and negotiation scripts when cash is tight. Covers hiring first AE/SDR/VP and founder-side offer/counter-offer tactics. Use when a founder asks how to comp sales hires, negotiate offers, explain equity, or defend quota math. Triggers on: "founder comp", "how much to pay first AE", "negotiate sales offer as founder", "comp budget startup", "what equity to offer"…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'founder-comp-playbook' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'founder-comp-playbook' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named founder-comp-playbook already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/LeadMagic/gtm-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2b7ec0f9e7044f46e4c77b536f486303fd863e28' -- 'skills/founder-led/founder-comp-playbook' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/founder-led/founder-comp-playbook' ~/.agents/skills/'founder-comp-playbook' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'founder-comp-playbook' ~/.claude/skills/'founder-comp-playbook' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
