SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly compare an inbound vendor agreement to your team’s configured playbook, identify deviations, and produce lawyer-ready issues with risk level, business impact, and paste-ready redline language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playbook-aligned contract review: Reads the practice-level CLAUDE playbook and flags every term that deviates, including a deal-breaker-first gate.
  • Structured, action-oriented findings: For each deviation, includes playbook says, contract quote, gap analysis, legal risk severity, business friction, why it matters, and proposed redline.
  • Routing and memo assembly: Generates an approvals-ready review memo (with work-product header handling) and determines escalation based on contract value and issue severity.
  • Special handling for real-world gaps: Stops for missing ACV (order-form pricing), calls out DPA-by-reference gaps, and applies a liability-cap decision procedure instead of a single simplistic check.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to review the attached vendor agreement against your configured commercial-legal playbook and return a memo with prioritized issues, proposed redline language, and approval routing.

Frequently Asked Questions about vendor-agreement-review

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a vendor agreement against my legal playbook?

To review a vendor agreement against your legal playbook, load your practice CLAUDE configuration and run the contract through a term-by-term gap analysis. The skill flags deviations, assigns risk severity, and generates a memo with proposed redline language.

What is a deal-breaker-first gating process in contract review?

A deal-breaker-first gating process in contract review identifies critical, non-negotiable terms in a vendor agreement before assessing standard deviations. It immediately flags unacceptable legal risks, ensuring major liability issues are prioritized before standard clause analysis.

Can I use this for SaaS subscription and MSA contract review?

Yes, you can use this for SaaS subscription, MSA, professional services, and license contract review. The skill applies its legal playbook gap analysis across various inbound vendor-side agreements to produce action-oriented findings.

How do I generate proposed redline language for vendor contract deviations?

You generate proposed redline language for vendor contract deviations by comparing the contract text against your configured playbook. The skill outputs paste-ready redline suggestions alongside gap analysis and legal risk severity for each issue.

How does liability cap evaluation work in vendor agreements?

Liability cap evaluation in vendor agreements works through a multidimensional decision procedure rather than a single check. The skill assesses the liability cap against your playbook to determine if the proposed limit meets your risk tolerance thresholds.

What happens if ACV or order-form pricing is missing from the vendor agreement?

If ACV or order-form pricing is missing from the vendor agreement, the contract review process stops and calls out the missing data. This precondition check ensures escalation routing cannot proceed without the required contract value.
