What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by navinspire-ia/navin in navin/skills/freelance-rate-card/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Price the mission, not a vanity TJM. The Career profile min_rate is the floor unless the user changes it.

Inputs

  1. career action=status - titles, countries, stack, min_rate, currency.
  2. Mission: duration, remote vs on-site, seniority, stack, buyer type (ESN, end client, scale-up).
  3. Public market signals via web_search (Malt, official rate surveys). Cite sources. No scrape of closed portals.

Rate card

ScenarioTJMWhen
Floorprofile min_rateShort, vague, or high friction
Standardfloor + 10-20%Clear scope, known stack
Premiumstandard + 15-25%Rare stack, rush, or staff-plus

Add extras: travel days, extra hours, IP, notice. Never discount below floor without an explicit user yes.

Rules

  • Track stays freelance. Do not convert a TJM into a fake CDI salary without saying so.
  • Store the agreed rate on the opportunity notes after career action=apply or stage=offer.
  • Pair with salary-negotiator only when the buyer asks for a package, not a day rate.
