Walks a category manager or sourcing manager through the classic 7-step negotiation process for a specific deal — Prepare, Set Targets, Build the Concession Plan, Open, Bargain, Close, Measure. Each step produces an artifact (target sheet, opening position, concession log, post-mortem). Persists state in the matter / category folder so a paused negotiation can resume mid-step. Use when the user says "negotiation plan", "walk me through the negotiation", "7-step", "structured negotiation", "I'm negotiating with X, prep me", or wants a step-by-step process rather than a single research packet (which is /negotiation-report).
Trace how a contract has changed across its base agreement and all amendments — either a summary of all changes over time, or a provision trace for a specific clause. Use when the user says "what changed in this contract over time", "show me the amendment history", "where's the latest [clause]", "how has [provision] evolved", or uploads multiple versions of an agreement.
Builds a board-ready Category Strategy Playbook for ONE spend category with deep external research. Triangulates market size, CAGR, supplier landscape, cost structure, PESTLE, Porter's 5, risk register, and produces SMART goals, opportunity register, initiative pipeline, and a 3-year roadmap. Output is an HTML report with charts and tables, monotone, board-grade. Use when the user says "category strategy", "build a category playbook", "category plan for [category]", "strategic sourcing strategy for X", "develop a category plan", "do a category deep dive", or whenever a category-level strategic document is needed.
Run the cold-start interview to learn your commercial contracts practice and write your team practice profile. Use on first use of the plugin, when `~/.claude/plugins/config/vallor/CLAUDE.md` is missing or still contains template placeholders, or when the user says "set up the plugin", "configure commercial contracts", "onboard me", or "let's get started". This is the only skill that should run on a fresh install.
Generates a board-grade PPTX deck for the contract approval committee — cover, recommendation, financial summary, deviations table, risk register, decision-ask slide. 6-10 slides, monotone, no decoration. Uses the plugin's /design system. Use when the user says "approval deck", "deck for the committee", "approval pptx", "presentation for the board", "deck for sign-off", "executive deck for this contract", or after any review/redline skill when a deck is needed for sign-off.
Captures the business intent behind a contract before any drafting happens. A short intake interview — who, what, why, when, how much, what's the risk tolerance — and produces a one-page Contract Brief that every downstream skill (drafting, redlining, approval deck, exec summary) reads. Use when the user says "fill in a contract brief", "kick off a new contract", "intake this deal", "start a contract", "I have a deal to paper", "contract prep", or whenever a new agreement is about to be drafted or negotiated.
Generates a multi-tab interactive HTML dashboard across a portfolio of contracts — severity counts, renewal timeline, deviation heat map, spend exposure, cancel-by calendar, supplier concentration. Print-friendly tabs. Self-contained. Use when the user says "contract dashboard", "portfolio view", "dashboard for all contracts", "show me everything renewing", "build the contracts dashboard", or wants a CFO/CPO-grade view of the entire contract base, not a single contract.
Produces a one-page executive summary of a contract or contract review — for a CEO, CFO, GM, or business owner who needs to decide in 90 seconds whether to sign, push back, or escalate. Outputs a single-page markdown (with PDF/PPTX export options) using the plugin's /design system. Use when the user says "exec summary", "summarize this for the CEO", "one-pager for the board", "C-suite version", "send this up", or after any review/redline skill produces a detailed memo that needs a shorter version up the chain.
