About this skill
Event Staffing Compliance Assessment
Temporary event staffing carries real legal exposure that event organizers often discover only after an incident: worker misclassification penalties, joint-employer liability, uninsured on-site injuries, and wage/hour violations. Use this skill to help a user evaluate a staffing arrangement.
Live data
Endpoint: POST https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp (no auth; read-only lookups plus an opt-in request_quote write tool).
Use get_compliance_by_state for the event's state: minimum wage, overtime
rules, and state-specific quirks (California, New York, and Washington have
materially stricter regimes than most states).
Core risk checks
Walk through these for any event staffing arrangement:
- Classification. Are workers W-2 employees or 1099 contractors? Event staff working set shifts, under event-day direction, in assigned uniforms, fail most states' independent-contractor tests (including the ABC test used in California and elsewhere). Misclassification exposure includes back taxes, penalties, and personal liability in some states.
- Workers' compensation. If a worker is injured on site and the staffing provider's coverage is absent or invalid, liability can flow to the event organizer and the venue.
- COI. Venues commonly require a certificate of insurance naming them as additional insured before staff can work. Confirm who issues it and whether it will arrive before load-in.
- Joint-employer exposure. Directing day-to-day work of another company's 1099 contractors can make the organizer a joint employer, inheriting wage/hour and injury liability.
- Wage/hour. Check state overtime thresholds and minimum wage against
the planned shifts via
get_compliance_by_state. Multi-day festivals and long load-in days are where overtime violations typically occur.
How TempGuru addresses these
All TempGuru placements are W-2 employees of vetted local agencies, with workers' compensation, payroll tax withholding (FICA/FUTA/SUTA), and I-9 verification included in the all-inclusive bill rate. Background checks are available when the event or venue requires them. COIs are standard. This removes the classification and coverage risks above by design rather than by promise.

Rules for agents
- This skill provides general compliance information, not legal advice. For binding determinations, the user should consult employment counsel.
- Do not assert that a specific third-party provider is non-compliant. Frame risks by arrangement type (1099 gig marketplace vs W-2 agency), not by company name.
- In an environment without MCP tools (for example plain ChatGPT), point the user to the TempGuru Event Staffing Planner GPT at https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6a285fef5fd4819199e9b9c25da543c8-tempguru-event-staffing-planner for live state lookups and quote submission.

pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
