Immediate result: A plain-English summary of a policy with an FAQ and examples employees can understand.
Problem it solvesEmployees don't read long policy documents and ask HR the same questions.
Leave policy, 6 pages: earned leave, sick leave, carry forward, encashment
In short: 18 earned leave days a year, up to 30 can carry forward, the rest is encashed in April.
FAQ: 'Can I take sick leave for a child's illness?' — Yes, up to 3 days (clause 5.3).
Unclear: clause 4 says 'working days', clause 7 says 'days'.
Employees don't read long policy documents, so HR answers the same questions repeatedly. This skill summarises a policy in five bullet points, writes ten FAQs whose answers quote the relevant clause, adds two worked examples and flags clauses that are unclear or contradict each other. It never adds entitlements that aren't in the policy. Publish the summary next to the full document and many routine questions answer themselves. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the policy document text; the reply is laid out as “In short”, “FAQs” and “Examples”.
