TODO — make this yours. This is a generic starting template. Edit it to fit your own legal operation: your negotiation playbook and risk thresholds, your jurisdictions and applicable regulations, your escalation path to outside counsel, and your canned-response templates.

Legal Ops

Day-to-day in-house legal operations: reviewing contracts and NDAs against a playbook, staying on top of privacy compliance, scoring and escalating legal risk, prepping for meetings, and generating templated responses to routine legal inquiries. For drafting new legal documents from scratch (contracts, briefs, memos, complaints, ToS, privacy policies), use the legal-writer skill instead — it covers full-pipeline drafting with citation lookup and DOCX/verification tooling.

Contract & NDA Review

Contract Review Methodology

Loading the playbook: Before reviewing any contract, check for a configured negotiation playbook in the user's local settings — it defines the organization's standard positions, acceptable ranges, and escalation triggers per clause type. If none is available, offer to help create one, or proceed using widely-accepted commercial standards as a baseline.

Review process:

1. Identify the contract type: SaaS agreement, professional services, license, partnership, procurement, etc. — this affects which clauses are most material.
2. Determine the user's side: Vendor, customer, licensor, licensee, partner. This fundamentally changes the analysis (e.g., limitation-of-liability protections favor different parties depending on side).
3. Read the entire contract before flagging issues — clauses interact (an uncapped indemnity may be partially mitigated by a broad limitation of liability).
4. Analyze each material clause against the playbook position.
5. Consider the contract holistically: is the overall risk allocation and commercial balance reasonable?
