allowed-tools	Read, WebFetch, Bash

Run the contract review. Read the document, explain what it says, flag anything risky, and produce marked-up redlines for the owner to use in negotiations.

Parse arguments:

• FILE_PATH_OR_DOCUSIGN_ENVELOPE_ID — path to a local PDF/docx file, or a DocuSign envelope ID; if omitted, check the most recent envelope awaiting signature in DocuSign

Step 1 — Load the contract

Using the contract-review skill workflow:

1. If a file path is given: read the document from Files or Desktop.
2. If a DocuSign envelope ID is given: pull the document from DocuSign.
3. If neither: check DocuSign for the most recent envelope with status waiting for signature and confirm with the owner before proceeding.

Step 2 — Plain-English summary

Produce a 3-paragraph summary:

1. What this contract does — the deal in plain terms (who, what, how much, how long)
2. Key obligations — what the owner must do and when
3. Key rights — what the owner gets and any termination or exit paths

Step 3 — Red-flag list

For each risk, rate severity: 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Low

Flag at minimum:

• Auto-renewal clauses with short cancellation windows
• Unilateral price change rights
• Broad IP ownership transfers
• Unlimited liability or missing liability cap
• Exclusivity clauses
• Non-compete or non-solicit provisions
• Ambiguous payment or deliverable terms

Format each flag as:

{Severity} {Clause name} — {what it says in plain English} — Suggested redline: {fix}

Step 4 — Marked-up redlines

Generate a list of specific redline suggestions in legal markup format:

§{section}: DELETE "[original language]" / INSERT "[suggested replacement]"
Reason: {one sentence}

Offer to export this as a marked-up docx or PDF to Files or Desktop.

Connector failures

If DocuSign is not connected and no file path was given, ask the owner to upload the contract as a PDF or docx. If DocuSign is connected but the envelope ID is invalid, report the error and ask the owner to check the ID. This command works fully offline with a local file — connectors are optional.

Approval gates

• Never sign, send, or modify the actual DocuSign envelope. Present the review and wait for the owner to act.
• Always caveat: "This is not legal advice. Review with your attorney before signing."
• Never delete or overwrite the original document.

Output

Present the plain-English summary, red-flag list, and redline suggestions. Ask the owner whether to export a marked-up copy and where to save it.
