# log-leave Adds an employee leave entry to a local YAML register and starts tracking legal deadlines. Useful when an employee goes on leave and HR or legal needs to monitor certification clocks immediately. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 578 installs · ★ 9795 - Author: anthropics · official Anthropic repository - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/employment-legal/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/log-leave ## What it does The skill logs new leave records directly into `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml`. Instead of asking questions one by one, it collects all inputs in a single prompt: employee identifier, work location state, leave type, start date, schedule, and notice statuses. Next, it checks the jurisdiction table inside `CLAUDE.md` to look up statutory hours or weeks. It then calculates the earliest deadline. An unsent designation notice sets a deadline five business days from leave start. A pending medical certification sets a 15-day window. When both are complete, it marks the 75% exhaustion point. The skill relies on the file structure of `claude-for-legal`. If the local `CLAUDE.md` jurisdiction table is missing, calculating statutory leave limits will fail. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill log-leave -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/log-leave/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill log-leave -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill log-leave -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install anthropics/claude-for-legal log-leave ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill log-leave -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal --path employment-legal/skills/log-leave ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill log-leave -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/employment-legal/skills/log-leave/SKILL.md ## When to use it - record a new employee leave in a local YAML register - calculate statutory notice deadlines for FMLA or state leave - track the 15-day deadline for requested medical certifications - look up leave entitlements across state jurisdictions ## Example prompts - /employment-legal:log-leave - /employment-legal:log-leave Sarah (Sr. Engineer, California) started FMLA today.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 909d3053486a30e8 ````text --- name: log-leave description: > Add a new leave to the leave register with the minimum information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch designation, certification, and exhaustion clocks from day one. argument-hint: "[describe the leave — employee/role, type, jurisdiction, start date]" --- # /log-leave Adds a new leave entry to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml` with the minimum information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch the clocks from day one. ## Instructions 1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → jurisdiction table and Systems section. 2. Ask all of the following in a single prompt — do not drip them one at a time: > A few quick questions to set up leave tracking: > > - Employee name or role (anonymized is fine) > - Where do they work? (State — this determines which rules apply) > - Leave type: FMLA / state leave (which state) / USERRA / ADA accommodation > - Leave start date > - Is this intermittent leave? > - Expected return date (if known — leave blank if not) > - Has the designation notice been sent? If yes, when? > - Has medical certification been requested? If yes, when? 3. Using the jurisdiction table in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md`, look up the applicable leave entitlement (hours/weeks) for this leave type in this jurisdiction. 4. Compute the first upcoming deadline based on the information provided: - Designation not yet sent → deadline is 5 business days from leave start - Med cert requested but not received → deadline is 15 days from request date - Both sent and received → next deadline is at 75% exhaustion 5. Write a new entry to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml` using the leave register format from the leave-tracker agent. If the file doesn't exist, create it. 6. Confirm with a single line: > "Logged. [Employee/Role] — [Leave type] — [Jurisdiction] — started [date]. > First deadline: [what it is and when]. Leave tracker will alert automatically." ## Examples ``` /employment-legal:log-leave ``` ``` /employment-legal:log-leave Sarah (Sr. Engineer, works in California) just started FMLA today for a serious health condition. Intermittent. No designation sent yet. ``` ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 909d3053486a30e8 The third-party file has ended.
