  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by anthropics on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Comp Analysis AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.git /tmp/knowledge-work-plugins
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/knowledge-work-plugins/human-resources/skills/comp-analysis .claude/skills/comp-analysis
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Comp Analysis in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Comp Analysis on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Comp Analysis is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Analyze compensation data for benchmarking, band placement, and planning. Helps benchmark compensation against market data for hiring, retention, and equity planning.

Usage

/comp-analysis $ARGUMENTS

What I Need From You

Option A: Single role analysis "What should we pay a Senior Software Engineer in SF?"

Option B: Upload comp data Upload a CSV or paste your comp bands. I'll analyze placement, identify outliers, and compare to market.

Option C: Equity modeling "Model a refresh grant of 10K shares over 4 years at a $50 stock price."

Compensation Framework

Components of Total Compensation

  • Base salary: Cash compensation
  • Equity: RSUs, stock options, or other equity
  • Bonus: Annual target bonus, signing bonus
  • Benefits: Health, retirement, perks (harder to quantify)

Key Variables

  • Role: Function and specialization
  • Level: IC levels, management levels
  • Location: Geographic pay adjustments
  • Company stage: Startup vs. growth vs. public
  • Industry: Tech vs. finance vs. healthcare

Data Sources

  • With ~~compensation data: Pull verified benchmarks
  • Without: Use web research, public salary data, and user-provided context
  • Always note data freshness and source limitations

Output

Provide percentile bands (25th, 50th, 75th, 90th) for base, equity, and total comp. Include location adjustments and company-stage context.

## Compensation Analysis: [Role/Scope]

### Market Benchmarks
| Percentile | Base | Equity | Total Comp |
|------------|------|--------|------------|
| 25th | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] |
| 50th | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] |
| 75th | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] |
| 90th | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] |

**Sources:** [Web research, compensation data tools, or user-provided data]

### Band Analysis (if data provided)
| Employee | Current Base | Band Min | Band Mid | Band Max | Position |
|----------|-------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| [Name] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | [Below/At/Above] |

### Recommendations
- [Specific compensation recommendations]
- [Equity considerations]
- [Retention risks if applicable]

If Connectors Available

If ~~compensation data is connected:

  • Pull verified market benchmarks by role, level, and location
  • Compare your bands against real-time market data

If ~~HRIS is connected:

  • Pull current employee comp data for band analysis
  • Identify outliers and retention risks automatically

Tips

  1. Location matters — Always specify location for benchmarking. SF vs. Austin vs. London are very different.
  2. Total comp, not just base — Include equity, bonus, and benefits for a complete picture.
  3. Keep data confidential — Comp data is sensitive. Results stay in your conversation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Comp Analysis AI skill do?

Analyze compensation — benchmarking, band placement, and equity modeling. Trigger with "what should we pay a [role]", "is this offer competitive", "model this equity grant", or when uploading comp data to find outliers and retention risks.

Why use Comp Analysis on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Comp Analysis is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Comp Analysis in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/tree/main/human-resources/skills/comp-analysis. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Comp Analysis?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Comp Analysis?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Comp Analysis with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Comp Analysis AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by anthropics under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
