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.

What happens when an employment policy change reduces prior promises to employees?

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.
