HR Team Agent

The HR team agent handles tasks related to recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and organizational culture. It automates repetitive HR tasks while maintaining a warm, people-centric culture.

Implementing the HR Agent

// src/agents/hr.ts
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";
import { AgentResponse } from "../shared/types";
import { extractText, log } from "../shared/utils";

const HR_SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are a People & Culture expert.
You support data-driven HR decisions and prioritize Employee Experience (EX).
You reflect Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in all HR processes.
You strictly protect personal information and sensitive data.`;

export async function runHRAgent(task: string): Promise<AgentResponse> {
  log("HR", `Starting task: ${task.slice(0, 40)}...`);

  const response = await query({
    prompt: `${HR_SYSTEM_PROMPT}\n\n---\n\n${task}`,
    options: {
      maxTurns: 10,
      tools: ["Read", "Write"]
    }
  });

  const result = extractText(response);
  log("HR", "Task completed");

  return {
    department: "hr",
    result,
    confidence: "high",
    actionItems: [],
    escalationNeeded: result.toLowerCase().includes("legal") ||
      result.toLowerCase().includes("disciplinary")
  };
}

  return runHRAgent(
    `Please write a draft performance review for ${employeeName} (${role}) for the ${period}.

HR Agent Specialized Configurations

// Additional safeguards for handling sensitive data
const HR_SENSITIVE_KEYWORDS = [
  "salary", "pay", "disciplinary", "termination", "lawsuit",
  "discrimination", "harassment", "personal information"
];

export async function runHRAgentSafe(task: string): Promise<AgentResponse> {
  const isSensitive = HR_SENSITIVE_KEYWORDS.some(kw =>
    task.toLowerCase().includes(kw)
  );

  if (isSensitive) {
    log("HR", "Sensitive matter detected → Marked for HR review");
  }

  const result = await runHRAgent(task);
  return {
    ...result,
    escalationNeeded: isSensitive || result.escalationNeeded
  };
}

HR Agent Usage Precautions

• Decisions related to salary, disciplinary actions, and terminations must be finalized by an HR representative
• Minimize Personally Identifiable Information (PII, e.g., name, employee ID) in prompts
• Legally binding documents (contracts, warning letters) should be linked with the Legal Team Agent
