What problem does it solve? Contract drafting often starts before anyone has asked the business what the deal is actually meant to accomplish, leading to wasted redlining cycles. This Skill front-loads a structured intake interview and produces a single Contract Brief that every downstream drafting, redlining, and approval workflow reads first. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Intake Interview: Asks six fixed-order questions covering business intent, counterparty, commercial shape, must-haves, give-ups, and risk tolerance, one at a time. - Standardized Brief Output: Writes a one-page markdown Contract Brief to the matter folder with a date-and-counterparty slug, including a side-specific playbook check pulled from the practice profile. - Downstream Integration: The brief is consumed by contract drafting, redline, executive summary, and approval deck workflows, and supports re-running on an existing brief with a revisions log. - Use Case: A sales lead says "I have a deal to paper with Acme." Run the intake, capture the must-haves and give-ups, and hand legal a brief that drives the first draft instead of discovering requirements on draft three. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a new contract intake for a vendor deal with a named counterparty using the contract-brief skill.
