Generate professional, jurisdiction-aware business documents: freelance contracts, project proposals, SOWs, NDAs, and MSAs. Structured Markdown output with docx conversion instructions. Covers US (Delaware), EU (GDPR), UK, and DACH (German law) jurisdictions. Not a substitute for legal counsel — use as strong starting points.

alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Patent prior-art and landscape intelligence skill — not generic patent help. Commits to one of five sub-use-cases via forcing intake (novelty search / freedom-to-operate / competitive landscape / acquisition diligence / litigation prior-art) before any search runs. Searches Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO, and optionally Lens.org for citation-graph signals. Output is an editable Word document (.docx) with verdict, ranked closest art (claim-text extracted), CPC-class-aware landscape, family-resolved hits, geographic coverage, FTO flags where applicable, strategy recommendations, and full audit log. Use when the user asks for patent searching or analysis (e.g., 'prior art search for [invention]', 'freedom to operate analysis for [product]'). Produces search signal, not legal advice — always recommends consulting a patent attorney before filing or licensing decisions. Trademark, copyright, and trade-secret questions are out of scope.

Use when responding to data subject requests, litigation hold notices, vendor legal questions, NDA requests from business teams, or subpoenas.

review-contract

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Review a contract against your organization's negotiation playbook — flag deviations, generate redlines, provide business impact analysis. Use when reviewing vendor or customer agreements, when you need clause-by-clause analysis against standard positions, or when preparing a negotiation strategy with prioritized redlines and fallback positions.

signature-request

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Prepare and route a document for e-signature — run a pre-signature checklist, configure signing order, and send for execution. Use when a contract is finalized and ready to sign, when verifying entity names, exhibits, and signature blocks before sending, or when setting up an envelope with sequential or parallel signers.

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Rapidly triage an incoming NDA and classify it as GREEN (standard approval), YELLOW (counsel review), or RED (full legal review). Use when a new NDA arrives from sales or business development, when screening for embedded non-solicits, non-competes, or missing carveouts, or when deciding whether an NDA can be signed under standard delegation.

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Check the status of existing agreements with a vendor across all connected systems — CLM, CRM, email, and document storage — with gap analysis and upcoming deadlines. Use when onboarding or renewing a vendor, when you need a consolidated view of what's signed and what's missing (MSA, DPA, SOW), or when checking for approaching expirations and surviving obligations.

contract-review

anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

Lightweight NDA, MSA, and vendor contract review for SMBs without legal on staff. Reads contracts from local files, Gmail attachments, or DocuSign envelopes; flags non-standard terms; explains risks in plain English; and outputs a marked-up redline as a separate DOCX. Use when the user says "review this contract," "what am I signing," "red flags," "flag any concerns," "check the payment terms," or uploads/forwards a contract or legal agreement.

figure-description

wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep

jurisdiction-format
