SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Contracts accumulate amendments over time, and by the third amendment nobody remembers what the original said or which version of a clause controls. This Skill reads a base agreement and all its amendments in chronological order to reconstruct exactly what changed and what language currently governs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Amendment Summary: Produces a chronological report of every amendment with material changes, a net current-state table, and watch items flagging inconsistencies between documents. - Provision Trace: Tracks a specific clause (indemnity, liability cap, termination, renewal) through every version with exact quotes, ending in the current controlling language. - Conflict and Gap Flagging: Identifies contradictory amendments, orphaned provisions, party name changes, and shifted section numbers, routing legal interpretation questions to counsel. - Use Case: A legal team uploads an MSA plus three amendments and asks "where's the latest indemnity clause" — the Skill returns the original language, each modification with quotes, and the current controlling text with section references. ## Quick Start Upload the base agreement and all amendment files, then ask the assistant to show the amendment history or trace a specific provision like indemnification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the current version of a clause in an amended contract?

Upload the base agreement and all amendments, then name the provision you want traced, such as indemnity or termination. The Skill quotes the original language, shows each amendment that touched it, and identifies the current controlling text with its section reference.

How to summarize what changed across multiple contract amendments?

Provide the base agreement and all amendment files without naming a specific clause. The Skill runs a summary mode producing a chronological list of material changes per amendment plus a net current-state table showing each provision's latest position.

Can it determine which document controls when amendments conflict?

No. Determining which document controls in a conflict is a legal interpretation question. The Skill flags contradictory language between amendments with section references and routes the question to Legal rather than resolving it.

What file formats and sources does contract amendment tracing accept?

It accepts direct file uploads of agreements and amendments, with CLM and document repository integrations marked as coming soon. Ordering is inferred from execution dates, document headers, or filenames like "Amendment No. 1".

What are the limitations of automated amendment history analysis?

It does not draft new amendments, compare against negotiation playbooks, or interpret ambiguous language — it quotes exactly and flags ambiguity for Legal. It is purely historical and does not replace a full contract review.
