New cross-cutting reference extending the existing GAINS summary in negotiate.md with per-phase detail, additional core principles, non- standard term catalog (Golden Cage + Cap Conversion), multi-round coaching, escalation playbook, and 5-dimension comp call transcript scoring. Wires into negotiate, salary, analyze, SKILL.md routing, README command table, and VERSIONS.md. Extends (does not replace) the condensed GAINS summary added to negotiate.md in the Lenny integrations pass (4dcc2e6 + a109da6). Cross-references back to negotiate.md wherever upstream already covers a principle. Attribution: Jacob Warwick (Lenny's Podcast + Execs and the City Substack).

Summary
references/negotiation-protocol.md(344 lines) — cross-cutting negotiation framework based on Jacob Warwick's executive negotiation methodology (Lenny's Podcast + Execs and the City Substack). Loaded bynegotiate(full protocol),salary(Stage 4+ principles & scripts), andanalyze(comp call transcripts).negotiate.mdin the Lenny integrations pass (4dcc2e6+a109da6). The new file adds per-phase GAINS detail, 10 core principles beyond GAINS, and tactical depth. Cross-references back tonegotiate.mdwherever a principle is already covered — "Sell the Vacation" and "Haste equals risk" appear only as pointers to your existing treatment, not duplicated.negotiate.mdsections appended after "Multiple Concurrent Offers": Multi-Round Negotiation (follow-up call coaching after pushback), Non-Standard Terms (4-day weeks, IP carve-outs, performance triggers, sign-on, additional leave, title checkpoints), Escalation Playbook (delay card → walk), Post-Close Legal Review (register shift for paperwork phase), Comp Call Transcript Analysis (integration withanalyze).analyze.mdcomp call detection gate — auto-detects transcripts with 3+ comp discussion markers and routes to 5-dimension negotiation scoring (Anchoring Discipline, Information Gathering, WE Framing, Silence & Pacing, Creative Solutions) instead of the standard interview rubric.examples.mdworked example — multi-round comp negotiation transcript scored across 2 calls with cross-call pattern analysis and state-write pattern.SKILL.mdMode Detection (item 18b), File Routing (newnegotiateentry, updatedanalyze+salary), Multi-Step Intent Detection row;README.mdcommand table + workflow 12;VERSIONS.mdnew proposed version entry (heading left asv[N]with a note asking you to slot it — proposed as v3.1 or a v4 prerequisite).Rationale
The GAINS summary you added covers the headline moves. This PR adds the tactical depth that was outside its scope: per-phase detail, additional core principles (Don't Say a Number First, Make It WE Not ME, They Have Margin, Never Split the Difference, Control the Messaging, Go to the Decision Maker, Emotional > Logic, Creative Comp Solutions, Know When to Stop, Post-Close Legal Review Tone), Zombie Number detection, multi-round coaching for follow-up calls, the Cap Conversion table for when one dimension is locked, and negotiation-specific scoring for comp call transcripts. Competence Guardrails mirror your existing
negotiate.mdguardrails section for tax/legal/equity/jurisdiction questions.Test plan
