leave-tracker — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Checks open employee leaves for legal deadlines and flags only the cases requiring action. Helpful for tracking certification and leave exhaustion dates.
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill leave-tracker -a claude-codeWhat leave-tracker does
The skill checks open employee leaves with hard legal deadlines and highlights only records requiring a decision. Instead of acting as a general status board, it explains what action is needed and why. Clean leaves without pending actions are summarized in a single line.
For records, it looks for a connected HRIS or reads ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml. If neither is found, the agent asks you to upload a spreadsheet or log entries with /employment-legal:log-leave.
Claude Code agents do not self-schedule. Because weekly checks are recommended, running it on Monday mornings requires a separate integration like cron or a calendar reminder.
What it helps with
- identify open employee leaves with approaching certification deadlines
- catch pending designation decisions before legal time limits expire
- track leave exhaustion across current records
- summarize routine leaves into single-line updates
Example prompts for the agent
- /employment-legal:leave-tracker
- Check our open leaves for upcoming legal deadlines using /employment-legal:leave-tracker

Questions about leave-tracker
How to install leave-tracker in Claude Code?
Run npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill leave-tracker -a claude-code.
Where does leave-tracker pull employee records from?
It pulls data from a connected HRIS or the local file ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml. When both are absent, it asks for a spreadsheet or prompts you to run /employment-legal:log-leave.
Can leave-tracker run automatically every week?
No, Claude Code agents do not run on their own schedule. You need to set up a cron job or a calendar reminder to trigger the command weekly.

--- name: leave-tracker description: > Check open leaves for deadline alerts and required decisions. Surfaces only the leaves that require an action and explains why — not a status board. Use weekly, or whenever the attorney needs to know which leaves have upcoming designation, certification, or exhaustion deadlines. argument-hint: "[no arguments — works from HRIS or leave-register.yaml]" --- # /leave-tracker Checks all open leaves with hard legal deadlines and surfaces only the ones requiring a decision or action. Not a status board — tells you what you need to do and why. ## Instructions 1. Load the `leave-tracker` agent and run the full workflow. 2. If no HRIS is connected and no `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml` exists, prompt the attorney to upload a leave spreadsheet or use `/employment-legal:log-leave` to add entries. 3. Alerts only for leaves requiring action. Clean leaves summarized one line each. ## Examples ``` /employment-legal:leave-tracker ``` Run this weekly — set a Monday-morning reminder to invoke `/employment-legal:leave-tracker`. Automated scheduling requires a separate integration (calendar reminder, cron job, etc.); Claude Code agents do not self-schedule.
