title: Prompts to run through your connected agent
description: Copy-paste prompts for leave, time, attendance, team health and admin, each mapped to a named SquadBear MCP tool
order: 1
---

Connect Claude first (see
[Connect Claude to SquadBear](/docs/getting-started/connect-an-agent/)) and confirm
`get_context` resolves to you, then copy any box below into the chat as-is. Every prompt here
resolves to tools in the SquadBear MCP catalog.

> [!NOTE]
> The everyday connection covers leave, approvals, time, attendance and assigned
> work, subject to your role and enabled modules. Specialist recipes use the same
> connection with the necessary OAuth scopes. Use `get_capabilities` to find missing
> permissions, then reauthorize that connection and refresh its tool list.

## Leave

Current balance and the portion that carries into next year.

> [!AGENT]
> How many vacation days do I have left this year, and how many of them will carry into next year?

Candidate windows checked against your holiday calendar, your booked leave and your balance.

> [!AGENT]
> Show my public holidays and booked leave for the next three months, then propose three 5-day vacation windows that clash with neither and validate the best one against my balance.

## Attendance

Clock in from the chat. The punch records server time and cannot be backdated.

> [!AGENT]
> Clock me in, and tell me first whether I already have a shift open.

Ask a manager to fix a shift after the fact.

> [!AGENT]
> I forgot to clock out yesterday - ask my manager to correct the shift to 09:00-17:30.

## Time

Log hours in natural language.

> [!AGENT]
> Log 6 hours today on the "Platform v2" project, task "Bug triage."

Overwrite a specific day's total instead of adding to it.

> [!AGENT]
> Set my hours on Tuesday for "Bug triage" to exactly 2, replacing whatever's already logged.

A category breakdown for a team's hours (manager). Categories are workspace-defined -
Northlake's are Capex and Opex. `get_time_report` returns the aggregation as rows for the
agent to summarize.

> [!AGENT]
> Break down last month's logged hours for the Platform team by category, and tell me which tasks still have no category.

## Team health

Start and open a check in one message.

> [!AGENT]
> Start a Pulse 5 health check for the Platform team, anonymous mode, and open it.

How a team's score has moved across its closed runs, not just this run's snapshot.

> [!AGENT]
> How has Platform's health score moved over its last few closed runs, dimension by dimension?

## Documents & processes

What's waiting on your signature.

> [!AGENT]
> Do I have any company documents waiting for my signature?

Company-wide signature progress (admin).

> [!AGENT]
> Which policy rollouts are still open, and who hasn't signed yet?

Where someone's onboarding stands.

> [!AGENT]
> Show me Aleksandra's onboarding run and tell me what's still outstanding.

## Admin

Create an invitation and list the ones still pending.

> [!AGENT]
> Invite pawel.nowak@northlake.io as an employee, then list every invitation still pending.

Setup readiness, plus which of the six optional modules this workspace has switched off.

> [!AGENT]
> What's left to finish setting up my SquadBear workspace, and which optional modules are switched off?

## Changes that need you in SquadBear

These four tools store a 30-minute proposal. Approve it on **Connect an agent**, then
let the assistant commit. See [Review assistant changes](/docs/agents/review-assistant-changes/).

Start a joiner process (the token cannot start it).

> [!AGENT]
> Start the New joiner onboarding process for Emily Saputra, start date next Monday, and give me the SquadBear review link. Do not commit until I approve it there.

Change a leave policy.

> [!AGENT]
> Prepare a change to Standard vacation so carried days must start by the end of September, then give me the SquadBear review link.
