SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deal teams lose track of conditions precedent, consents, and closing deliverables scattered across purchase agreements and diligence findings, risking missed deadlines and delayed closings. This Skill centralizes every pre-closing obligation into a single YAML checklist and surfaces exactly what is blocking the close. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Checklist Initialization: Extracts conditions precedent, closing deliverables, and pre-closing covenants directly from the purchase agreement, with source citations to each section. - Self-Updating Ingestion: Automatically appends new items from diligence-issue-extraction findings, material-contract-schedule change-of-control items, and deal-team-summary outputs, de-duplicating on counterparty plus action type. - Status & Critical Path Reporting: Produces "what's blocking" reports with days-to-close, at-risk items where time-to-complete exceeds time remaining, and a critical path view. - Use Case: A corporate lawyer asks "what's left to close on Project Falcon" and receives a prioritized report showing the HSR waiting period, a pending third-party consent with a 30-day notice deadline, and which items threaten the target close date. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the closing checklist status and what's blocking the close for your active deal.

Frequently Asked Questions about closing-checklist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a closing checklist from a purchase agreement?

The initialization mode reads the signed or near-final purchase agreement and extracts every condition precedent, closing deliverable, and pre-closing covenant. Each item gets a source citation to the agreement section, plus responsible party, due date, and blocking status.

How does the closing checklist stay updated during diligence?

An ingestion mode accepts handoffs from diligence-issue-extraction findings, material-contract-schedule change-of-control items, and deal-team-summary outputs. New items are appended and de-duplicated on counterparty plus action type, merging fields rather than overwriting.

What is critical path analysis for deal closing?

Critical path analysis estimates time-to-complete for each blocking item and flags any item where days until due date is less than the estimated completion time. Those at-risk items appear at the top of every status report since they can push the close date.

Can non-lawyers certify that closing conditions are satisfied?

No. The skill includes a consequential-action gate: before producing a ready-to-close certification, non-lawyer users are directed to review with an attorney and receive a brief of open items, weak evidence, and questions to ask. Status tracking reports do not require this gate.

What does the closing checklist skill not do?

It does not obtain consents, file regulatory forms, or draft documents — it only tracks that these actions need to happen. It also does not decide what is blocking; the purchase agreement determines that, and the skill reads the agreement.
