SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Contracts, reports, and scanned forms hide deadlines, obligations, and risks inside dense text, and manually turning them into tracked tasks loses citations and misreads modality. This Skill converts documents into structured, source-cited facts and proposed action items without inventing owners or dates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cited Extraction: Pulls parties, dates, deadlines, money, obligations, and risks while preserving file and page/section provenance for every field. - Modality Preservation: Keeps "may", "should", and "must" distinct and flags low-confidence OCR or ambiguous clauses instead of silently resolving them. - Approved Task Creation: Converts obligations into proposed actions with owner, due date, dependency, and citation, then writes to Notion, calendars, or spreadsheets only after explicit user approval and read-back verification. - Use Case: Given a scanned vendor contract, extract every payment deadline and termination clause with page citations, surface contradictions between versions, and create verified calendar reminders for the approved obligations. ## Quick Start Extract all deadlines, obligations, and owners from the attached contract PDF and propose cited action items for my review.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract deadlines and obligations from a contract?▼

Load the document, extract text with page-level provenance using the ocr-and-documents, pdf, or docx skills, then classify dates, obligations, and parties while preserving modality. Each proposed action keeps a file and page citation so nothing relies on unsupported inference.

How to turn a report or document into tasks automatically?▼

The skill converts each actionable obligation into a proposed task with outcome, owner, due date, dependency, acceptance condition, risk, and citation. Tasks are only written to an external tracker like Notion or a calendar after you explicitly approve the scope.

Does document extraction work with scanned or low-quality files?▼

Scanned documents are processed through OCR with confidence scores and visible quality issues recorded per field. Low-confidence or unreadable clauses are surfaced as ambiguous rather than treated as exact text.

Can extracted action items be written to Notion or a calendar?▼

Yes, approved actions can be created in Notion, a calendar, or a spreadsheet via xlsx, with document and page provenance attached. Every write is read back from the provider to verify owner, date, and link before completion.

What are the limitations of automated obligation extraction?▼

Extraction is not legal advice, and ambiguous language or low-confidence OCR remains visible rather than resolved. Unknown owners or dates stay marked unresolved, and professional review is recommended for legal, medical, tax, or safety-critical interpretation.
