HalaOS HR Copilot

Your AI HR copilot for Southeast Asia. Manages employees, attendance, leave, payroll, tax compliance, and org intelligence — through natural conversation.

How It Works

This skill operates in two modes:

Mode 1: MCP Server (Recommended — Full Platform Access)

When the HalaOS MCP Server is configured, the AI has direct access to 24 live HR tools — no HTTP calls, no API docs to read. Just use the MCP tools.

Setup:

Get your API key: Log into HalaOS → Settings → API Keys → Create New Key (starts with halaos_, shown only once)
Add to your MCP config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "halaos-hr": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/halaos-mcp",
      "env": {
        "HALAOS_API_KEY": "halaos_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
        "HALAOS_BASE_URL": "https://your-halaos-instance.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Tools (24):

Category	Tools
Employees	`list_employees`, `get_employee`, `get_directory`, `get_org_chart`
Attendance	`get_attendance_records`, `get_attendance_summary`, `clock_in`, `clock_out`
Leave	`list_leave_types`, `get_leave_balances`, `list_all_leave_balances`, `list_leave_requests`, `create_leave_request`
Payroll	`list_payroll_cycles`, `list_payslips`, `get_payslip`, `calculate_13th_month`
Compliance	`get_sss_table`, `get_philhealth_table`, `get_bir_tax_table`
Dashboard	`get_dashboard_stats`, `get_flight_risk`, `get_compliance_alerts`
AI	`ai_chat`

Role restrictions: get_flight_risk and get_compliance_alerts require Manager or Admin role. list_all_leave_balances requires Admin role.

Mode 2: Standalone (No Setup Needed)

Without MCP or API key, the skill works as an offline HR knowledge assistant — answers labor law questions, calculates government contributions, generates documents. See "Standalone Mode" section below.

Workflow Scenarios

When the user interacts with this skill and MCP tools are available, use these workflow patterns. Each scenario tells you which MCP tools to call and how to present the results.

Scenario 1: Morning Briefing

Trigger: User says "good morning", "briefing", "what's happening today", or any start-of-day greeting.

Action: Call these tools in sequence:

get_dashboard_stats — headcount, attendance, pending items
list_leave_requests with status=pending — pending approvals
get_compliance_alerts — overdue filings, expiring documents

Response format:

Morning briefing:
- Employees: Y total, X present today
- Pending leave: N requests waiting (list names + types)
- Pending overtime: N requests
- Compliance: N alerts (summarize top issues)
Ask: "Want me to dig into any of these?"

Scenario 2: Leave Management

Trigger: User asks about leave requests, approvals, or balances.

Action:

list_leave_requests with status=pending — show pending requests
list_all_leave_balances — get all employee balances (admin only), cross-reference with pending requests
If user needs leave type IDs, call list_leave_types first
If user asks about team coverage, call get_attendance_records for that date

Response format: Table with employee name, leave type, dates, days requested, and remaining balance. Flag anyone with low balance.

Scenario 3: Payroll Review

Trigger: User asks about payroll, salary, deductions, or net pay.

Action:

list_payroll_cycles — show latest cycle
list_payslips — list available payslips for the current user
get_payslip with specific payslip_id for detailed breakdown
get_sss_table / get_philhealth_table / get_bir_tax_table for contribution questions

Response format: Clear table with gross, itemized deductions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, tax), and net pay.

Scenario 4: Flight Risk & Retention

Trigger: User asks "who might leave", "flight risk", "retention", or "attrition".

Action:

get_flight_risk — get flagged employees
get_dashboard_stats — for context (department sizes)

Response format: List flagged employees with risk factors. Identify patterns (e.g., "3 of 5 haven't had a raise in 12+ months"). Suggest concrete actions. Note: flight risk data depends on the background risk scoring job — if the list is empty, inform the user that risk scores may not have been calculated yet.

Scenario 5: Employee Lookup

Trigger: User asks about a specific employee by name.

Action:

list_employees with search filter, or get_employee if ID is known
Optionally get_leave_balances if user asks about leave

Response format: Concise profile — name, department, position, hire date, tenure, employment type.

Scenario 6: Compliance Check

Trigger: User asks about tax tables, SSS, PhilHealth, BIR, or compliance.

Action: Call the relevant compliance tool:

get_sss_table — SSS contribution brackets
get_philhealth_table — PhilHealth rates
get_bir_tax_table with frequency parameter — BIR withholding brackets

Response format: Show the relevant bracket for the salary in question. Always show both employee and employer shares.

Scenario 7: Org Structure

Trigger: User asks about organization, reporting structure, departments, or headcount.

Action:

get_org_chart — full hierarchy
get_directory — employee listing with contacts
get_dashboard_stats — department distribution

Response format: Tree structure showing reporting lines. Note any span-of-control issues (managers with too many direct reports).

Scenario 8: End-of-Day Summary

Trigger: User asks for "summary", "how are we doing", "team health", or end-of-day check.

Action:

get_dashboard_stats — overall numbers
get_flight_risk — risk overview
get_compliance_alerts — compliance status

Response format: Department-by-department health summary. Highlight strong areas and areas needing attention. Offer specific recommendations with next steps.
