What problem does it solve? Contract reviewers often struggle to determine who must approve a non-standard term and then spend time drafting escalation messages. This Skill reads the escalation matrix in the practice-level CLAUDE.md, matches the issue against approval thresholds and automatic triggers, names the specific approver, and drafts a decision-ready message. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Escalation Matrix Matching: Characterizes issues by dollar threshold, term deviation, automatic trigger, or business decision, then maps them to the correct approver in the escalation matrix. - Side-Aware Playbook Evaluation: Determines whether the company is sales-side or purchasing-side and applies the matching playbook section before deciding if escalation is warranted. - Drafted Escalation Messages: Produces a structured ask containing the contract quote, playbook position, options with a recommendation, and a decision deadline — drafted but never sent automatically. - 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 the Slack message with options and a recommendation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to escalate the uncapped liability clause in the Acme MSA and identify who needs to approve it.
