SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents inconsistencies by diffing a proposed handbook change against the current handbook, then surfacing cross-reference breakage and state supplement impacts before publication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change diffing: Produces a clear before/after view for the specific handbook section being modified.
  • Cross-reference impact analysis: Finds handbook mentions and defined-term usage that could become inaccurate after the change.
  • State supplement impact assessment: Determines whether state supplements need updates, are now obsolete, or require new supplements.
  • Promise/reduction risk flag: Warns when the update reduces what prior versions promised, noting potential jurisdictional risk.

Quick Start

Ask handbook-updates to diff your proposed handbook insertion against the current policy, identify cross-references, and list state supplement actions required before you publish.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a proposed employee handbook update breaks cross-references?▼

To check handbook updates, you diff the proposed policy language against the current handbook section to identify cross-reference breakage, evaluate state supplement impacts, and flag promise-reduction risks before publication.

A promise-reduction risk flag warns you when handbook updates reduce what prior versions promised, noting potential jurisdictional risk so you can evaluate the employment law implications before publication.

Can I assess state supplement impacts when updating an employee handbook?▼

Yes, handbook update analysis evaluates state supplement impacts by determining whether existing supplements need updates, are now obsolete, or require new supplements to maintain jurisdictional compliance.

Do I need to load existing employment legal context before diffing handbook changes?▼

Yes, generating accurate handbook diffs requires loading existing handbook context from a configured employment-legal environment to search references and evaluate state supplements accurately.

What is the best way to identify ripple effects across related employment policies?▼

The best way to identify ripple effects is performing a cross-reference impact analysis that searches for defined-term usage and handbook mentions that could become inaccurate after the policy change.
