employment-law-research
Research a US employment law topic across federal, state, and city jurisdictions and produce structured research notes with proper source attribution. Use this skill any time the user asks about US employment laws, regulations, or pending legislation - from a single jurisdiction question to a 50-state survey. Triggers include phrases like "research [employment law topic]", "what are the laws on [employment topic]", "state-by-state [employment topic]", "help me understand [topic] across the US", or any prompt that asks for a legal landscape overview before another deliverable. Always run this B

# US Employment Law Research This skill produces a structured research brief on a specific area of US employment law. The note is the input for downstream work like building a dashboard, writing a memo, or briefing a stakeholder. The most important thing the skill does is enforce a clean separation between primary-source claims (the statute says X) and secondary-source claims (Cooley wrote about it last week). Assume the audience is practicing lawyers. Use this skill standalone when the user just wants research, OR as the first step before the `employment-law-dashboard` skill. If a dashboard is the eventual deliverable, complete this skill's workflow first and save the research note before invoking the dashboard skill. ## When to use The skill should fire whenever a user asks for research, comparison, or landscape on a US employment law topic. Examples: - "Research the state of US laws on workplace surveillance." - "What are the pay transparency laws across the US?" - "Help me understand non-compete enforcement state by state." - "I need a brief on pregnancy accommodation requirements nationally." - "Make a dashboard for [employment law topic]" → run this first, then the dashboard

Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
