## What it does

hr-automation maps HR processes into structured definitions: a recruiting pipeline from application to hire, a new-hire onboarding flow, PTO requests, a performance review cycle, and offboarding. Each block spells out triggers and actions — who gets a confirmation email, which channel gets a Slack ping, when a deadline reminder fires. The agent reads these schemas and builds the steps for your project.

There is an AI resume screening block: a prompt scores skills and experience match, then a threshold routes the candidate forward, to manual review, or to a rejection. The skill relies on the `hr-mcp` MCP server with `greenhouse_api`, `workday_api` and `bamboohr_api` tools — without it, automated actions in your ATS and HRIS will not run. The recommended model is `claude-sonnet-4`. Skill languages are English and Chinese, so you will rewrite any Russian-language templates yourself.

The workflows follow n8n template patterns, which means porting them into your stack is manual work: these are descriptions, not ready-made integrations. What you do get is a clear view of where a process breaks — an incomplete task escalates to the owner's manager once the deadline passes.

## When to use it
- lay out a recruiting pipeline with stages and automatic notifications
- build an onboarding checklist with deadlines for the hire, manager and IT
- route a PTO request for approval based on its length
- split a performance review cycle across weeks with reminders
- plan offboarding steps from resignation to handover

## Example prompts
- build a recruiting pipeline from hr-automation for our ATS
- make a 30-day onboarding checklist using this skill
- describe the PTO approval route: up to 3 days goes to the manager, longer goes to HR
