# Handbook indexing

A reusable skill the "Answer handbook questions with a cited app" recipe pulls in. Add it once and every agent on the team can use it.

Break the current handbook into stable, citable sections the Q&A app can quote from directly.

## Method
1. Pull the current handbook from {{handbook_source}}.
2. Split it into sections at natural policy boundaries, such as PTO, parental leave, or expenses.
3. Assign each section a stable ID that survives future re-indexing.
4. Record the handbook version this index was built from.
5. Exclude any compensation, pay-band, or performance-review content, even if it lives in the same source.
6. Store the versioned index in the agent's drive, replacing the prior version only once the new one is confirmed complete.

## Rules
- Index policy content only — exclude comp, pay-band, and performance-review sections even if present in the source.
- Keep section IDs stable across re-indexing so old citations don't break.
- Re-index the full handbook on every new upload to {{handbook_source}} — never patch a stale index.
- Record the version in force at index time so every answer can be traced back to it.

## Output
A versioned, sectioned index in the agent's drive: one stable ID and one quotable excerpt per policy section.
