Cowork Contract Renewal Radar

Read a folder of contracts the way outside counsel prepping a renewal calendar does: find every date-driven obligation, compute the real decision deadline (notice deadline, not renewal date), and put it somewhere it will actually be seen. Complements contract-analyzer (deep single-contract review) -- this skill is the portfolio sweep.

Workflow

1. Inventory. Catalog every contract in the folder (PDF, .docx): counterparty, contract type (vendor, customer, lease, SaaS subscription, employment, NDA), and executed vs. draft status. Skip drafts but list them.
2. Extract the clock terms from each executed contract, quoting the clause verbatim with page/section:
   • Term start/end dates and initial term length
   • Auto-renewal: yes/no, renewal period, and the exact non-renewal notice requirement ("60 days written notice prior to expiration")
   • Price escalations tied to renewal (CPI adjustments, fixed % uplifts, "then-current pricing")
   • Termination-for-convenience windows and fees
   • Any other dated obligation (insurance certificate renewals, option exercise windows)
