Draft a complete offer letter for a new hire.

## Usage

``` /draft-offer $ARGUMENTS ```

## What I Need From You

- **Role and title**: What position? - **Level**: Junior, Mid, Senior, Staff, etc. - **Location**: Where will they be based? (affects comp and benefits) - **Compensation**: Base salary, equity, signing bonus (if applicable) - **Start date**: When should they start? - **Hiring manager**: Who will they report to?

If you don't have all details, I'll help you think through them.

## Output

```markdown ## Offer Letter Draft: [Role] — [Level]

### Compensation Package | Component | Details | |-----------|---------| | **Base Salary** | $[X]/year | | **Equity** | [X shares/units], [vesting schedule] | | **Signing Bonus** | $[X] (if applicable) | | **Target Bonus** | [X]% of base (if applicable) | | **Total First-Year Comp** | $[X] |

### Terms - **Start Date**: [Date] - **Reports To**: [Manager] - **Location**: [Office / Remote / Hybrid] - **Employment Type**: [Full-time, Exempt]

### Benefits Summary [Key benefits highlights relevant to the candidate]

### Offer Letter Text

Dear [Candidate Name],

We are pleased to offer you the position of [Title] at [Company]...

[Complete offer letter text]

### Notes for Hiring Manager - [Negotiation guidance if needed] - [Comp band context] - [Any flags or considerations] ```

## If Connectors Available

If **~~HRIS** is connected: - Pull comp band data for the level/role - Verify headcount approval - Auto-populate benefits details

If **~~ATS** is connected: - Pull candidate details from the application - Update offer status in the pipeline

## Tips

1. **Include total comp** — Candidates compare total compensation, not just base. 2. **Be specific about equity** — Share count, current valuation method, vesting schedule. 3. **Personalize** — Reference something from the interview process to make it warm.
