| description | 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.

Contract Review
Quick start
Attach a contract file, forward the email containing it, or paste the text directly.
User: "Review this MSA and flag anything I should push back on."
→ Skill reads the document, identifies parties and contract type,
analyzes 8 risk categories, returns a severity-tiered summary
with a negotiation playbook, and exports a redlined DOCX.
Workflow
-
Get the contract — Pull from one of three sources, in order of preference:
- Gmail: Search for recent emails with contract attachments (see
reference/gmail-fetch.md)
- DocuSign: Fetch the envelope by ID or search recent drafts awaiting signature (see
reference/docusign-fetch.md)
- Local file or paste: Read the PDF (chunked via
pages parameter for 10+ page files) or DOCX via Read tool. If the user pastes text directly, work with what's provided.
Read the full document before analyzing. Dangerous clauses are frequently in exhibits and schedules at the back.
-
Identify contract type and parties — Determine agreement type (NDA, MSA, SOW, SaaS subscription, consulting, subcontractor, vendor) and which party is the user's company vs. the counterparty. Note if it looks like a counterparty template — these are typically one-sided and the counterparty expects pushback.
-
— Work through the contract from the ops/finance perspective of a small business owner without in-house legal. Categories are ordered by typical risk severity; use judgment for context.
