What it does

Algo Hr Compensation is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Conduct compensation benchmarking analysis to position salaries against market data. Use this skill when the user needs to assess pay competitiveness, build salary bands, or analyze pay equity — even if they say 'are we paying market rate', 'salary benchmarking', or 'compensation analysis'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/band-design.md` and `references/pay-equity.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Stock and market analysis. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to assess pay competitiveness
  • Build salary bands
  • Analyze pay equity — even if they say are we paying market rate
  • Salary benchmarking

Example prompts

  • “are we paying market rate”
  • “salary benchmarking”
  • “compensation analysis”
  • “/algo-hr-compensation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Algo Hr Compensation loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Compensation Benchmarking

Overview

Compensation benchmarking compares internal pay levels against external market data to assess competitiveness. Uses compa-ratio (actual pay / market midpoint) and percentile positioning. Informs salary band design, pay adjustments, and equity analysis.

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • Evaluating whether current salaries are competitive with the market
  • Designing or updating salary bands and pay structures
  • Identifying pay equity gaps across demographics or roles

When NOT to use:

  • For individual performance-based pay decisions (use performance management)
  • When no market data is available (need at least survey benchmarks)

Algorithm

IRON LAW: Benchmarking Is Only Valid With COMPARABLE Jobs
Matching by job TITLE alone is unreliable — "Senior Engineer" means
vastly different things at different companies. Match by: job content
(duties, scope), level (IC vs manager, experience band), industry,
geography, and company size. Poor job matching produces misleading
market rates.
Phase 1: Input Validation

Collect: internal compensation data (base, bonus, equity), market survey data (P25, P50, P75 by role), job matching between internal roles and survey benchmarks. Gate: Jobs properly matched, survey data current (< 18 months).

Phase 2: Core Algorithm
  1. Match internal jobs to market benchmarks by content, level, and scope
  2. Age survey data to current date: apply projected market movement rate
  3. Compute compa-ratio per employee: actual base / market P50
  4. Compute percentile positioning: where does actual pay fall in market distribution
  5. Analyze: by department, level, tenure, demographics for equity gaps
Phase 3: Verification

Check: compa-ratios cluster around 0.85-1.15 (normal range). Flag outliers (< 0.80 underpaid, > 1.20 overpaid). Test demographic equity. Gate: Distribution reasonable, equity analysis completed.

Phase 4: Output

Return benchmarking results with band recommendations.

Examples

Sample I/O

Gotchas

  • Total compensation: Base salary benchmarking alone misses equity, bonuses, and benefits. Compare total comp for accurate positioning.
  • Survey data lag: Published surveys reflect data collected 6-18 months ago. In fast-moving markets, age the data forward.
  • Internal equity vs external competitiveness: Aligning with market may create internal inequities (new hire paid more than tenured employee). Balance both.
  • Geographic differentials: Remote work complicates location-based pay. Define a clear policy: pay by HQ location, employee location, or hybrid.
  • Pay equity legal risk: Unexplained demographic pay gaps expose legal liability. Conduct regression-based equity analysis controlling for legitimate factors (experience, performance, level).
