What it does

This skill lets an AI assistant answer questions about an open workplace investigation log, such as what witnesses said, where accounts conflict, what evidence is strongest, and what is still missing. Each answer cites the specific log entry IDs, and if nothing relevant exists the assistant says so and offers to flag it as a gap. It depends on a separate reference skill called internal-investigation for the detailed query process and templates.

Great for

  • Employment lawyers or HR investigators working through a large investigation file
  • Legal teams who want to check witness accounts against each other without rereading every entry
  • Anyone who needs a quick list of open gaps in an ongoing investigation

Skip it if

  • Final legal advice or conclusions, since the skill only summarises the log and the answers still need professional review
  • Investigations where the log is incomplete or unverified, because answers only reflect what was recorded
  • Use outside a privileged, confidential setting, since the log contains sensitive personnel information

Try asking

  • “/employment-legal:investigation-query [matter name] What did the respondent say about the December team dinner?”
  • “/employment-legal:investigation-query [matter name] Where do the complainant's and respondent's accounts conflict?”
  • “/employment-legal:investigation-query [matter name] What do we still need?”
