Skills for HR work
The best way to see where a skill fits is by role. Start with HR, where the work is full of recurring, standards-driven tasks, the exact shape a skill is built for.
Resume screening
A resume-screen skill holds the role's must-have requirements, the
nice-to-haves, and the rule that the model summarizes evidence rather
than ruling people out on its own. Every recruiter who runs it screens
the same batch the same way, against the same bar. The skill makes
the rubric the standard instead of a memory test.
Onboarding
An onboarding-plan skill encodes your company's first-30-days
structure: the checklist, the standard intro meetings, the policies a
new hire must acknowledge. A manager asks Claude to draft an onboarding
plan for a new role, and gets one shaped like every other one, instead
of a blank-page improvisation.
Job descriptions
A job-description skill carries your format, your tone, your required
sections, and your inclusive-language standards. New postings come out
consistent with the last hundred, without each hiring manager
reinventing the template.
The HR caution
HR work touches people's livelihoods and sits under real employment law. A skill makes the process consistent; it does not make the process automatically legal or fair. An HR skill should be explicit that Claude assists and summarizes, and that a person makes the decisions. A skill that quietly screens people out on its own is a skill built wrong. Consistency is the goal. Removing the human from a people decision is not, and the governance lesson comes back to this.
