hiring-review

Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants — jurisdiction check included. Substantive rules (covenant enforceability, pay-transparency, salary-history limits, exemption criteria) are researched per hire, not stored. Use when the user says "review this offer", "can we use a non-compete here", "check this offer letter", "hiring in [state]", or attaches an offer.

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable legal-review skill with a clear sequenced workflow and strong validation gates. Its weaknesses are token efficiency (tutor-style explanations of at-will concepts and repeated boilerplate) and a monolithic single-file layout that could move jurisdiction detail into a reference.

Suggestions

Tighten the at-will section: drop the general definition ('At-will means either party can terminate...') and condense the seven-jurisdiction primer into a short table, keeping only the non-obvious statutory specifics (Montana WDEA, UK ERA 1996 s.1).

Factor the repeated '~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md' path into a single defined alias used throughout, and consolidate the recurring 'Cite primary sources. Verify currency.' into one stated rule instead of repeating it per step.

Move the jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction at-will / written-statement particulars into a references file (e.g. references/at-will-by-jurisdiction.md) and link to it one level deep, so SKILL.md stays an overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient and adds genuinely specialized material (Montana WDEA, UK ERA 1996 s.1, the no-silent-supplement policy, source-attribution tags), but it also explains concepts Claude already knows — e.g. "'At-will' means either party can terminate without cause or notice" and a seven-jurisdiction at-will primer — and repeats 'Cite primary sources. Verify currency.' several times, so it sits at the 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation' anchor rather than the lean top anchor.

2 / 3

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and copy-ready: a numbered 5-step workflow, a classification test table, an offer-letter content checklist, exact escalation phrasings ('First hire in [state]... Research needed before offer goes out'), a markdown output template, and explicit source-attribution tags ([Westlaw], [CourtListener], [web search — verify]). Per the rubric's code-vs-instruction note, the absence of executable code is not penalized because the instruction-level guidance is highly actionable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced (Jurisdiction → Classification → Restrictive covenants → Jurisdiction-specific → Offer letter) with explicit validation checkpoints: 'Research before calling exemption', 'Research enforceability before advising', the 'No silent supplement' report-and-stop loop, and the 'Consequential-action gate' that blocks a 'Clear to send' output without an explicit yes — matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps and feedback loops' anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), and while the file is organized into clear sections and delegates some detail to a one-level-deep external config path (~/.claude/plugins/.../CLAUDE.md), that single reference is repeated inline many times and substantive material like the seven-jurisdiction at-will primer lives inline rather than in a separate reference — so it is 'some structure, could be better organized' rather than the clean multi-file top anchor.

Description

90%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-targeted description: it states a clear niche, what it does, and explicit natural-language triggers. The only weak spot is a narrow action vocabulary that keeps specificity below the top anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and several concrete subjects ('Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants', 'jurisdiction check included', plus 'covenant enforceability, pay-transparency, salary-history limits, exemption criteria'), but the action vocabulary is narrow — essentially 'review' and 'check' applied to those subjects rather than a list of multiple distinct concrete actions, so it lands at the 'names domain and some actions, not comprehensive' anchor rather than the 'multiple specific concrete actions' anchor above.

2 / 3

Completeness

It clearly answers both 'what' ('Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants — jurisdiction check included ... researched per hire, not stored') and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when the user says ...' clause, matching the anchor that requires both with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

It gives natural user phrasings — "review this offer", "can we use a non-compete here", "check this offer letter", "hiring in [state]", or "attaches an offer" — which are exactly what a user would say, giving good coverage of natural trigger terms.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It occupies a clear niche (offer-letter / restrictive-covenant legal review) with distinct triggers ('can we use a non-compete here', 'hiring in [state]') that are unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
