The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If they gave current CTC: compare to the midpoint only (under / around / above).

    line 29

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Frontend Salary Calculator

Uses the same static tier ladder as OnlyFrontendJobs (salary-config.ts, 2025–26). That ladder is the fallback when OFJ has no company band and not enough live jobs to blend.

Official number: OFJ Salary Calculator.

Read:

  • references/salary-tiers.md
  • references/ofj-links.md

When to Use

  • "What should I ask?", "Am I underpaid?", offer review, negotiation script
  • Frontend / UI roles only

Procedure

  1. Collect: primary stack, years of production frontend, role level if they have one, where they live, where the company pays from (if known), company name, current CTC (optional), employee vs contract.
  2. Map seniority and region with the OFJ rules. Say the mapping out loud.
  3. Pick a tier from the company name if it is in the examples list. If unknown, use Product / enterprise (tier3) and say you defaulted.
  4. Apply the tech multiplier. Show the math.
  5. Give min–max. India in LPA. Never write ₹40K LPA.
  6. If they gave current CTC: compare to the midpoint only (under / around / above). No fake percentile.
  7. Contract: say contractor rate is roughly (salary / 1800) × 1.3–1.5 and that OFJ's ladder is employee CTC, not contract.
  8. IST → US-remote: do not anchor on India local bands if the company is US/EU. Use the company region.
  9. End with the live calculator + a stack hub.

Output

# Salary estimate (OFJ static ladder)

- Seniority: mid (3–4 years rule)
- Region: India / INR
- Tier: Product / enterprise (default — company not in the short list)
- Tech: react × 1.05
- Range: ₹16–29 LPA
- Versus your CTC: around the midpoint / below / above

This is the same fallback ladder OFJ uses. It is not a company-matched or live-listing blend.

Negotiation line (only after the range)

Based on remote frontend roles at this level on OnlyFrontendJobs, I am targeting [range]. I want to see the full package before locking a number.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
