Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00088 | $0.02117 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01059 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00423 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00212 |
Grade A, and why
hr-payroll 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 8d 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.

HR payroll
Comprehensive payroll knowledge for HR operations specialists, payroll administrators, and compensation teams — from understanding modern payroll processing principles and compliance requirements to running payroll cycles, handling discrepancies, and managing multi-country payroll operations.
Supported tasks
- Explaining payroll concepts and terminology for HR teams and people leaders
- Designing payroll processing calendars and cycle workflows
- Running payroll compliance audits against local labor and tax regulations
- Calculating statutory deductions, overtime, and benefits contributions
- Handling payroll discrepancies, corrections, and retroactive adjustments
- Designing multi-country and multi-entity payroll processes
- Building payroll onboarding and offboarding checklists
- Using AI tools to draft payroll policy documentation and audit reports
- Writing payroll process proposals, compliance briefings, and employee communications
What payroll management means in 2026
Modern payroll management is no longer:
- "a manual spreadsheet reconciled once a month before pay day"
- "a back-office function disconnected from HR and finance systems"
- "compliance handled reactively after an audit or penalty notice"
In 2026, modern payroll management increasingly includes:
- continuous payroll accuracy checks integrated into HRIS and time-tracking systems
- automated statutory compliance updates across multiple jurisdictions
- real-time payroll error detection using AI-assisted anomaly checks
- self-service payslip and tax document access for employees
- unified global payroll platforms replacing fragmented local vendors
- proactive audit trails for every payroll change and approval
- integration between payroll, benefits, and total rewards data
Modern payroll teams are increasingly expected to support:
- accurate, on-time payroll across multiple countries and entities
- compliance that is explainable and defensible during external audits
- payroll error rates measured and reduced through automation, not just rework
- secure handling of sensitive compensation and tax data
- close collaboration between HR, finance, and legal on payroll policy
- a clear connection between payroll accuracy and employee trust
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

hr-payroll is a skill published in the GitHub repository tuanductran/hr-skills (57 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 2,117 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
