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 skill.
