What it does

Log Leave is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Add a new leave to the leave register with the minimum information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch designation, certification, and exhaustion clocks from day one.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • An employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch designation
  • Exhaustion clocks from day one

Example prompts

  • “/log-leave”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction table and Systems section.
  2. Ask all of the following in a single prompt — do not drip them one at a time
  3. Using the jurisdiction table in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md, look up the applicable leave
  4. Compute the first upcoming deadline based on the information provided
  5. Write a new entry to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml using the leave register
  6. Confirm with a single line

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Log Leave loads about 628 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~628

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/log-leave

Adds a new leave entry to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml with the minimum information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch the clocks from day one.

Instructions

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction table and Systems section.

  2. Ask all of the following in a single prompt — do not drip them one at a time:

    A few quick questions to set up leave tracking:

    • Employee name or role (anonymized is fine)
    • Where do they work? (State — this determines which rules apply)
    • Leave type: FMLA / state leave (which state) / USERRA / ADA accommodation
    • Leave start date
    • Is this intermittent leave?
    • Expected return date (if known — leave blank if not)
    • Has the designation notice been sent? If yes, when?
    • Has medical certification been requested? If yes, when?
  3. Using the jurisdiction table in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md, look up the applicable leave entitlement (hours/weeks) for this leave type in this jurisdiction.

  4. Compute the first upcoming deadline based on the information provided:

    • Designation not yet sent → deadline is 5 business days from leave start
    • Med cert requested but not received → deadline is 15 days from request date
    • Both sent and received → next deadline is at 75% exhaustion
  5. Write a new entry to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml using the leave register format from the leave-tracker agent. If the file doesn't exist, create it.

  6. Confirm with a single line:

    "Logged. [Employee/Role] — [Leave type] — [Jurisdiction] — started [date]. First deadline: [what it is and when]. Leave tracker will alert automatically."
