Assembles an Employee Handbook from your approved policies, with contents in the order a new starter needs them, a disclaimer flagged for an adviser, an acknowledgement page, a change log and a gap list of policies still missing. Use for "run hr-employee-handbook", "employee handbook", "update our handbook", "handbook rewrite", "handbook acknowledgement form", "handbook change log", "which policies are missing from our handbook", "put our policies in one place", part of the AI for HR Pack by…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Employee Handbook

## When To Use
The handbook rewrite has been "next month" for a year, policies live in six folders, and nobody can say which version is current. Use this to put the approved policies in one document with a change log, and to see in one list what is still missing.

## When Not To Use
If a policy is not written or not approved yet, run HR Policy first; a handbook of drafts is worse than no handbook. If staff keep asking what the handbook says, run HR Policy FAQ once this is finished.

## Inputs
- The approved policies, each with its owner, version and review date.
- Where your people work (country, and state or province where it matters), the policies you expect to have, and any old handbook or change history.
If you have none of this, I start from the list of policies you expect, build the contents and gap list only, and mark the output as a first draft.

## Approach

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add polar-bear-org/claude-skills/hr-employee-handbook@sha256:4d03284bcfebc167

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.a2f0899, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
