Build the Gusto employee upload from the HR roster
The request
The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.
We're moving payroll to Gusto. Can you turn my HR roster into their employee upload using the template in the folder? Dana forwarded what Gusto told us and added our addresses. Save it as gusto_employees.csv.

Recorded acceptance checks
