mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

model_decision Structure a redundancy consultation process and draft key communications. Use when asked to plan a redundancy process, write a redundancy letter, structure a consultation, or manage a reduction in force. UK employment law focus. Always recommend qualified HR/legal advice before proceeding.

Redundancy Consultation Skill

Structures redundancy processes and drafts communications. Significant legal and human risk — always flag that employment legal advice is essential before proceeding.

WARNING: Defaults to UK employment law (Employment Rights Act 1996). Always recommend qualified HR/legal advice before any redundancy action.

Required Inputs

  • Number of roles affected (1-19 = individual; 20+ = collective consultation required)
  • Reason for redundancy (genuine business reason)
  • Jurisdiction (UK / US / EU / Other)
  • Timeline constraints
  • Selection pool (if multiple people in similar roles)

Output Structure

1. Process Overview

Individual redundancy (fewer than 20):

Stage Action Minimum timeline
1 Confirm business case internally Before any communication
2 At-risk notification meeting Day 1
3 Individual consultation Minimum 1 meaningful meeting
4 Redundancy confirmed or alternative found After genuine consideration
5 Notice period begins Per contract
6 Final day and payment Per contract + statutory

Collective redundancy (20+ roles — UK):

  • Minimum 45 days consultation before first dismissal
  • Must notify BEIS (HR1 form) before consultation begins
  • Employee representatives must be elected if no union recognised
  • Failure = unlimited protective award per employee

2. Selection Criteria (if pool exists)

Objective, non-discriminatory only: skills/qualifications, performance (documented evidence), attendance (exclude disability/pregnancy-related absences), length of service (tiebreaker only).

NEVER select on: age, disability, pregnancy/maternity, part-time status, trade union membership.

3. At-Risk Letter Draft

"Dear [Name], I am writing to inform you that your role of [Job Title] is at risk of redundancy. This is because [specific business reason]. We would like to meet on [date] to discuss the situation and explore alternatives. You have the right to be accompanied by a colleague or trade union representative. No decision has been made. Yours sincerely, [Manager]"

4. Consultation Meeting Script

Opening: "No decision has been made. This meeting is to explain the situation and listen to your views." Key questions: Any ways to avoid this? Alternative roles of interest? Anything about selection to challenge?

5. Redundancy Confirmation Letter Draft

Issued only after genuine consultation. Must include: statutory pay calculated, notice period, payment for accrued holiday, right of appeal.

6. Statutory Redundancy Pay Guide (UK)

  • Under 22: 0.5 week per year of service
  • 22-40: 1 week per year of service
  • 41+: 1.5 weeks per year of service
  • Weekly pay capped (verify current rate)
  • Maximum 20 years counts

WARNING: Take advice from an employment lawyer or qualified HR professional before beginning any redundancy process.

Quality Checks

  • Number of roles determines consultation type (individual vs collective)
  • Selection criteria are objective and non-discriminatory
  • At-risk letter states no decision has been made
  • Consultation meeting includes genuine exploration of alternatives
  • Statutory redundancy pay guidance included
  • Legal advice disclaimer is prominent

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not proceed without a prominent disclaimer that qualified HR and legal advice is required before taking any action
  • Do not use template letters without customising them for the specific individual and situation
  • Do not omit the genuine exploration of alternatives — redundancy consultation must consider alternatives before confirming decisions
  • Do not leave out statutory redundancy pay guidance — employees have legal entitlements that must be referenced
  • Do not conduct a redundancy process without documenting the selection criteria and scoring — undocumented decisions create legal risk

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Help me structure a redundancy consultation"
  • "Draft an at-risk letter for [role]"
  • "What is the process for making someone redundant in the UK?"
