What it does
When you ask it to review an offer letter, the agent checks where the hire will actually work, whether the exempt or non-exempt classification fits the role, and whether any non-compete, non-solicit, or confidentiality terms are enforceable there. It does not rely on stored legal rules; it researches the current rules for each hire and tags each citation with its source so a lawyer can verify it. The skill is part of a legal-practice plugin and reads its own configuration files for the company's jurisdictions and policies.
Great for
- In-house employment or HR legal teams reviewing offers before they go out
- HR staff who need a first-pass checklist for a hire in a new state or country
- Lawyers who want a structured starting point they will verify themselves
Skip it if
- Relying on the output as final legal advice without attorney review, since the rules are researched at review time and may be incomplete or wrong
- Hires where the configuration file or jurisdiction table is missing, because the skill then depends on research tools and web search that can return thin or unverified results
- Individual job candidates trying to assess their own offers, since the skill is written for the employer's side and its configuration assumes company policies
Try asking
- “Review this offer letter for a remote hire based in Colorado and flag any issues”
- “Can we use a non-compete for this engineer working from Texas?”
- “Check this offer letter for classification problems: the role is salaried but hourly in practice”
- “Hiring in Washington state, what notices and pay-transparency rules apply to this offer?”

No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Set up the employment-legal CLAUDE.md jurisdiction table and restrictive covenant policy before the first use, so the skill applies your house rules first.
- Check every citation tagged [web search — verify] or [model knowledge — verify] against a primary source before relying on it.
- Give the skill the exact state or country and the role description, since classification and covenant rules depend on both.
