Answers an employee's or manager's HR policy question strictly from the policy documents the user supplies or the agent can reach as knowledge: a DRAFT answer that quotes the governing clause with its document, version and clause reference, lists the conditions and exceptions the text states, returns UNKNOWN where the documents are silent and names the role to ask. Never invents a rule, fills a gap from general practice or decides an individual's case. Use when the user asks to check a policy…

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

# Policy question answerer

## Purpose
Turn one policy question into one DRAFT answer built only from the policy documents in scope. Every sentence of the answer is a verbatim quote or a close paraphrase of a clause, with the document, version and clause reference beside it. Where the documents do not cover the question, the answer says UNKNOWN and names the role to ask. The agent finds and quotes; the policy owner and the people team interpret and decide.

## When to use
- The user asks what a policy, handbook, procedure or code of conduct says about a topic, an entitlement, a process step, a deadline or an approval route.
- The user asks whether a rule applies to a category of staff, and the answer can be read from the text.
- Not for drafting or amending a policy, deciding an individual's case, legal advice, grievances or disputes.
- Do not use for comparing two policy versions or briefing a change, use policy-change-briefing instead.

## Inputs
1. The question, in the user's words. Required. Several questions in one message are split and numbered.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-agent-skills/policy-question-answerer@sha256:cd83467635f26408

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.f14a4fb, 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.
