SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Negotiating mutual NDAs clause-by-clause without a firm playbook leads to inconsistent positions, missed risks, and slow turnaround. This Skill gives an AI agent a structured, executable playbook of preferred positions, approved replacement text, fallbacks, and unacceptable terms for US-law mutual NDAs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Clause-by-clause positions: Covers definition of confidential information, confidentiality term, exclusions, return or destruction, permitted disclosures, injunctive relief, governing law, non-solicitation, affiliates, security safeguards, breach notification, AI use, residuals, and assignment. - Byte-exact approved text: Each clause provides approved and approved-fallback fences whose text is copied verbatim into the redline tool's replacement argument, with stated conditions for when each fallback applies. - Jurisdiction guard and oneNDA recognition: Stops and warns when the agreement is not governed by US state law, and treats unmodified oneNDA standard forms as fixed-body documents negotiated only through variable fields. - Use Case: A counterparty sends a mutual NDA governed by Delaware law. The agent checks the governing-law clause, then redlines the confidentiality term to three years with a trade-secret carve-out using the approved text, and proposes deletion of the residuals clause. ## Quick Start Review the attached mutual NDA against the firm playbook and redline any clauses that deviate from the approved positions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I redline a mutual NDA against a firm playbook?

Check the agreement's governing-law clause first, then compare each clause against the playbook's preferred position. Copy the approved replacement text byte-exact into the redline tool's replacement argument, using fallback text only when its stated condition is met.

What clauses does an NDA negotiation playbook typically cover?

This playbook covers definition of confidential information, confidentiality term, exclusions, return or destruction, permitted disclosures, injunctive relief, governing law, non-solicitation, affiliates, security safeguards, breach notification, AI use, residuals, and assignment.

Can this playbook be used for NDAs governed by non-US law?

No. Every position is drafted for agreements governed by the law of a US state. If governing law is non-US, absent, or undeterminable, the playbook instructs the agent to stop, warn the user, and ask how to proceed.

How should an unmodified oneNDA standard form be handled?

Accept the fixed oneNDA body as-is and negotiate only the variable fields such as parties, purpose, confidentiality period, and governing law. Do not redline the body text or copy oneNDA text into firm documents, since it is licensed CC BY-ND.

When should the fallback clause text be used instead of the approved text?

Use fallback text only when its stated condition is met, such as the counterparty rejecting an open-ended trade-secret carve-out or being unable to commit to a fixed-hour breach-notice deadline. Otherwise apply the preferred approved text.
