wage-hour-qa-yachela

wage-hour-qa-yachela is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ThomasMoreAI/legal-skills-open. It costs 95 tokens per session (3,243 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A jurisdiction-specific guide for answering employment questions about pay, overtime, breaks, leave, worker classification, and final pay. It researches and cites the rule for the relevant country or state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer wage-and-hour questions, check employment-law requirements, identify uncertain areas, and point to the controlling sources.
Why use it?
Employment rules differ by jurisdiction and can change, so it avoids relying on a general answer or on remembered law.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wage-hour-qa-yachela scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/wage-hour-qa

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Identify jurisdiction the question is about. If not specified, ask.
  4. Answer per that jurisdiction's rule. Cite. Flag if it's a close call or law is shifting.

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /employment-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

"It depends" is true but unhelpful. This skill produces a jurisdiction-specific answer grounded in researched, cited primary sources — and flags when the question is close enough to need human judgment. It does not state rules from memory: wage-and-hour thresholds, exemption criteria, and final-pay timing change frequently and vary meaningfully by state.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint. If the question doesn't specify a jurisdiction, ask — or answer for the state with the most employees and note that.

The answer

Step 1: Jurisdiction

Which state/country is this about? If not stated:

  • If it's about a specific employee: where do they work?
  • If it's a policy question: identify the jurisdictions in the footprint that are most likely to be the most restrictive on the question at hand, then research those.

Step 2: Research the rule, then state it

Research before answering. For the jurisdiction and question, identify the currently operative rule. Cite the controlling primary source (statute, regulation, wage order, or case) with a pinpoint cite. Note the effective date and whether the rule has been recently amended, indexed, or is in litigation. If you are uncertain or cannot verify the current state of the law, say so and flag for attorney verification — do not state a rule you haven't confirmed.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
