## Skills

- [Use BambooHR well with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/bamboohr/skills/essentials.md): Confirms which BambooHR instance and whose permissions apply, picks the right tool for each question, and asks before any change is made in BambooHR.
- [Look up employees and directory questions in BambooHR with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/bamboohr/skills/employee-directory-lookup.md): Finds people, department headcounts and tenure from your BambooHR directory and employee records, and says plainly when permissions limit what is visible. Asks before switching accounts or changing any record.
- [Review BambooHR goals and follow-ups with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/bamboohr/skills/goals-status-report.md): Summarises in-progress and past-due employee goals from BambooHR, sorted into a follow-up list. It asks before creating, commenting on or closing any goal.
- [Check time off coverage in BambooHR](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/bamboohr/skills/time-off-coverage-check.md): Works out who is out, which holidays shorten a requested absence, and whether the balance covers it. It drafts the time off request and asks before submitting anything.

### What is a BambooHR agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each BambooHR skill describes one job, which BambooHR tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the BambooHR skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 4 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in BambooHR.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect BambooHR; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the BambooHR MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the BambooHR MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The BambooHR MCP setup guide covers every client.
