Playbook Lookup

Port-original skill. Hand-authored for Legal & Contracts. Used by drafters and reviewers.

When to fire

A drafting or review skill needs the firm's stated position on a specific clause type — e.g., "what's our position on liability cap in MSAs?" "what's our default NDA term?"

Inputs

Required: contract type (NDA / MSA / SOW / offer / vendor / other) + clause type (e.g., "liability cap", "term", "indemnity scope", "non-compete"). Optional: client / matter context (the playbook may carry per-client overrides).

Outputs

A structured lookup result:

clause_type: <e.g., liability-cap>
contract_type: <e.g., MSA>
playbook_position:
  preferred: <wording or summary>
  acceptable: <fallback wording or range>
  non_negotiable: <hard floor / red line>
  rationale: <one-line why>
notes:
  - <provenance: when added, by whom, last updated>
  - <client-override if any>
exists: true | false

If exists: false, return that explicitly so the caller knows to fall back to conservative defaults and enqueue clause-library-curate to fill the gap.

How to look up

1. Find the playbook entry for the (contract-type, clause-type) tuple in the firm's clause library (skills/clause-library-curate maintains it).
2. If a per-client / per-matter override is in scope, prefer it.
3. If no entry exists, return exists: false and propose adding one.

Boundaries

• Lookup-only. This skill never interprets the playbook position or applies it to a specific draft — that's the caller's job.

• Per-client overrides must be sourced (which matter, which attorney approved); silent overrides are a red flag and should be flagged to escalation-routing.

• UPL line. This skill is designed against the unauthorized-practice-of-law line. Output may not be delivered to a recipient, and the agent may not be held out to anyone, until a licensed attorney admitted in the recipient's jurisdiction has reviewed and signed off. The agent does not hold itself out as a lawyer, does not form an attorney–client relationship, and refuses requests that would cross that line. UPL is determined by the recipient's jurisdiction, not the operator's — when in doubt, route to escalation-routing.

Output protocol

Return the result inline as YAML or attach it to the work-item thread for the caller to consume.
