SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of inbound vendor agreements drifting away from a team’s negotiated positions by producing a playbook-based review with clear deviations, risk severity, and paste-ready redline language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playbook-aligned term comparison: Reviews the agreement against the team’s configured positions in the practice-level CLAUDE.md, flagging missing, weaker, non-standard, or unacceptable terms.
  • Deal-breaker first: Checks for a configured “never accept” term and stops detailed analysis when a hard-no is present, recommending next actions.
  • Routing-ready outputs: Summarizes issues with legal risk level, business impact, escalation/approval routing guidance, and a final memo format suitable for attorney review.

Quick Start

Use /commercial-legal:review with the vendor agreement text attached, and ask for a full memo with proposed redlines based on your configured playbook.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an inbound vendor agreement against my legal playbook?▼

Can I automatically generate redlines for a vendor MSA based on risk severity?▼

Yes, you can automatically generate redlines for a vendor MSA. The Skill assesses legal risk and business friction, then proposes specific, paste-ready redline language organized by severity in a consolidated package.

What is the best way to identify deal-breaker clauses in a vendor services agreement?▼

Identifying deal-breaker clauses in a vendor services agreement involves checking the document against configured "never accept" terms. The Skill halts detailed analysis when a hard-no is present and recommends immediate next actions.

Does this vendor agreement review tool handle liability cap and indemnity analysis?▼

Yes, this vendor agreement review tool handles liability cap and indemnity analysis. It explicitly checks liability-cap dimensions and evaluates indemnity provisions against your playbook, assigning legal risk levels and business impact ratings.

When do I need to configure approval routing for a vendor contract review?▼

You need to configure approval routing for a vendor contract review when handling agreements with specific dollar-value thresholds or DPA presence. The Skill uses orientation questions to route outputs to the correct approval channels.

Why does playbook compliance stop early on some vendor MSAs?▼

Playbook compliance stops early on some vendor MSAs because the Skill enforces a deal-breaker-first approach. If a configured "never accept" term is detected, it halts detailed analysis and immediately recommends next actions.
