/log-leave
Adds a new leave entry to ~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/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
-
Read ~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/employment-legal/practice-profile.md → jurisdiction table and Systems section.
-
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?
-
Using the jurisdiction table in ~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/employment-legal/practice-profile.md, look up the applicable leave
entitlement (hours/weeks) for this leave type in this jurisdiction.
-
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
-
Write a new entry to ~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml using the leave register
format from the leave-tracker agent. If the file doesn't exist, create it.
-
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."
