What it does
HR Skills is a knowledge and skill library for people tasks. The source of truth is human-written Markdown. The `skills/` folder holds 146 `hr-*` packages, and the root `SKILL.md` acts as a router: it identifies which skills fit a task and tells which `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` to load next. It covers the whole employee lifecycle: recruiting and candidate sourcing, interviewing, assessment, offers, onboarding and offboarding, performance management, development and succession, compensation and benefits, learning and engagement. Separate groups cover analytics and workforce planning, organizational design, change, compliance and labor relations, global HR, AI in HR (adoption, ethics, privacy, evaluation) and Vietnam labor law. Each skill follows one structure: `SKILL.md`, content, prompt templates and examples.
Who it is for. HR specialists and recruiters who work with Claude Code or Claude.ai and want to rely on structured process descriptions instead of a generic model answer.
Good fit when
- A Senior Product Manager role needs competency-based interview questions.
- A team builds onboarding and offboarding and wants to verify the stages.
- Job levels and roles must be described, then a job description prepared.
- AI adoption in HR requires policies on ethics, privacy and quality evaluation.
Not a fit when
- You need legal conclusions for your country: a knowledge library does not replace a lawyer.
- Employee HR data must not go to a model: the skills run inside an agent session.
- You expect a ready HRIS program: the set stays materials and skills.
Example request
Draft competency-based interview questions for a Senior Product Manager using the hr-interviewing and hr-competency-management skills.Limitations
Skill maturity varies: the current table is in `docs/engineering/skill-matrix.md` and shows which skills are developed more deeply. The labor law and compliance parts reflect specific jurisdictions, so verify country details against current rules, Vietnam included. In Claude.ai skills connect through `SKILL.md` in project knowledge. The root router does not answer HR questions itself. Content (`content/`, `prompts/`, `examples/`) sits next to `SKILL.md`, so copy a skill whole with its folders.
How to disable. Delete the `hr-*` folders from `~/.claude/skills/` and the root router if you copied it. In Claude.ai remove the `SKILL.md` files from project knowledge.
FAQ
How do I install the library in Claude Code?
Copy a single skill with `cp -r skills/hr-recruiting ~/.claude/skills/` or all of them: `cp -r skills/hr-* ~/.claude/skills/`. Claude Code picks the relevant ones on its own.
How do I use it in Claude.ai?
Create a project, upload the needed `SKILL.md` into project knowledge and start chatting. Several skills can be combined.
What does the root SKILL.md do?
It routes: it identifies the relevant skills for a task and tells which `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` to load next. It does not answer HR questions itself.
Where can I see which skills are mature?
In the generated table `docs/engineering/skill-matrix.md`: it holds the inventory and the maturity status of each skill.
Are there examples?
Yes, the `examples/` folder holds HR scenarios with expected outputs. The programmatic planner examples need a separate runtime.

--- name: hr-skills description: "Master router for the HR Skills library — 100+ specialized skill packages covering the full employee lifecycle: recruiting and talent acquisition, onboarding/offboarding, performance and talent management, compensation and total rewards, learning and development, organizational design and change, workforce planning and analytics, HR technology and AI, compliance and labor relations, culture and wellbeing, employer branding, and technical/software-engineering hiring. Includes Vietnam-specific labor law and cultural guidance. Use this skill FIRST for any HR, People Ops, Talent Acquisition, or hiring-related request — including hiring for engineering, design, product, or data roles — so the right specialized skill(s) get loaded instead of answering from general knowledge. Trigger on any task touching the employee lifecycle, workforce strategy, HR policy, or recruiting for any function." metadata: author: Tuan Duc Tran version: "1.0.0" --- # HR Skills This is the entry point for the HR Skills library. It does not answer HR questions directly — its only job is to identify which specialized skill(s) below apply to the task and tell you which `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` to load next. ## How to use this skill 1. **Identify the domain(s).** Match the user's request against the routing tables below. Most requests map to exactly one skill; cross-functional requests (e.g. "build a recruiting + onboarding plan for a new engineering team") may need two or three. 2. **Load the specific skill.** Read `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` for each match before responding. Prefer the most specific match over a broad one (e.g. for "write a JD for a Senior Backend Engineer," load [hr-job-description](skills/hr-job-description) **and** [hr-backend](skills/hr-backend), not just one). 3. **Check for Vietnam context.** If the user's org, employees, or the task itself is Vietnam-based (labor contracts, social insurance, PIT, work permits, disciplinary process under Vietnamese law), also load [hr-vietnam-context](skills/hr-vietnam-context/SKILL.md) alongside the functional skill — this is a standing differentiator for this library, not an edge case. 4. **Don't over-load.** Only load skills that are actually relevant. Loading every plausible skill wastes context and dilutes guidance. 5. **If nothing matches well,** answer using general HR knowledge and say so rather than forcing a mismatched skill. ## Routing tables ### Talent acquisition & recruiting | Skill | Use when the task involves... | |---|---|
