Recommended Skills
Journey fit
HR automation sits under Operate because it runs ongoing people processes after the product exists, not initial idea validation. Iterate is the shelf for refining internal ops workflows—pipelines, compliance tracking, and lifecycle automation—not customer-facing launch distribution.
How it compares
Workflow template skill for HR ops, not a substitute for a certified PEO or employment-law review.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is hr-automation for?
Small-team operators and indie founders running recruiting and employee lifecycle processes who want Claude to draft automations aligned with Greenhouse, Workday, or BambooHR patterns.
When should I use hr-automation?
Use it in Operate when standing up or refining hiring pipelines, onboarding, and offboarding; optionally in Grow lifecycle planning when scaling support or engineering headcount.
Is hr-automation safe to install?
Review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page before enabling MCP HR tools that touch PII; treat API credentials and employee data policies as your responsibility.
