SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Contract reviewers often struggle to determine who must approve a non-standard term and then waste time composing escalation messages. This Skill reads the escalation matrix in the practice-level CLAUDE.md configuration, matches the issue against approval thresholds and automatic triggers, names the specific approver, and drafts a decision-ready message. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Matrix-Based Routing: Characterizes issues by dollar threshold, term deviation, automatic trigger, or business decision, then matches them to the escalation matrix to name a specific approver. - Decision-Ready Drafts: Generates a structured escalation message containing the contract quote, playbook position, options with a recommendation, and a decision deadline. - Side-Aware Evaluation: Determines whether the company is sales-side or purchasing-side and applies the matching playbook section before deciding whether escalation is warranted. - Use Case: A reviewer finds uncapped liability in a vendor MSA. The Skill identifies it as an automatic escalation trigger, names the GC as approver, and drafts a Slack message with the clause quote, playbook position, and three options. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to escalate the uncapped liability clause in the Acme MSA and draft the approval request for the right approver.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route a contract issue for approval?

Describe the issue or reference a review memo, and the Skill characterizes it by dollar threshold, term deviation, or automatic trigger. It then matches the issue to the escalation matrix in your practice configuration and names the specific approver with a drafted message.

What is an escalation matrix in contract review?

An escalation matrix defines who can approve what: standard terms under a dollar value go to paralegals or counsel, non-standard terms go to the GC, and certain triggers like unlimited liability always escalate. This Skill reads that matrix from the practice-level CLAUDE.md file.

Does the escalation flagger send the approval message automatically?

No, the Skill only drafts the escalation message and shows it to you. The lawyer reviews and sends it through the appropriate channel, such as Slack, email, or a meeting, as specified in the escalation matrix.

What happens if the escalation matrix is missing or incomplete?

The Skill reports that the escalation section is missing or vague and indicates the practice profile needs editing. If the matrix does not cover a situation, it says so and suggests asking the GC who owns the decision.

When should a contract term not be escalated?

Terms clearly inside the documented fallback ranges in the playbook do not need escalation and can be approved by the reviewer. Only terms outside fallbacks, automatic triggers, or ambiguous novel terms warrant escalation, with uncertainty flagged explicitly.
