Build or modernize an employee handbook for a small business with no HR department -- interviews the owner for actual practices, drafts every core policy in plain English, flags the state-specific requirements that need local verification, and outputs a document employees might actually read.
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 Builder Most small businesses run on unwritten rules until the first dispute, and then the absence of a handbook costs real money. Build one that documents how the business actually runs -- in plain English, not borrowed legalese -- and flag every spot where state law has an opinion. Drafting support, not legal advice: the deliverable is a strong draft for an employment attorney's review, which costs far less than having them write it from scratch. ## Workflow 1. **Interview.** Ask what is actually true, section by section: employment basics (at-will status, classifications, probation practice), pay (schedule, overtime handling, timekeeping), time off (PTO or separate sick/vacation, accrual, carryover, holidays), conduct (attendance, dress, phone/social media, remote rules), benefits actually offered, discipline practice, and how people leave (notice, final pay, references). Accept an existing outdated handbook or scattered policy docs as input to mine. …

How to install
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/employee-handbook-builder@sha256:715fcfda16378ea4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.2a48684, 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.
