npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill review
Review a vendor agreement, NDA, or SaaS subscription against your playbook. Identifies the agreement structure from titles, routes to the right review skill (vendor-agreement-review, nda-review, saas-msa-review), and integrates the output into a single memo. Use when the user says "review this contract", "check this MSA", "is this NDA okay", "look at this SaaS agreement", or attaches an inbound agreement for review.
Reviews an inbound agreement against the playbook in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md. Identifies the agreement structure from titles, selects the appropriate skill(s), and — if confirm_routing is enabled — checks with the user before proceeding.
Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md. If placeholders present, stop and prompt: "Run /commercial-legal:cold-start-interview first — I need to learn your playbook before I can review against it."
Also read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Review preferences → confirm_routing. If the field is missing, treat it as true.
Get the agreement: From file path, Drive link, [CLM ID], or pasted text. If none provided, ask.
Read the document structure — titles first.
Before reading the body, extract:
This is the routing signal. Do not rely on body keywords alone — a 40-page MSA with "confidential" throughout is not an NDA.
Select the skill(s) based on document structure.
Map each identified document or section to a skill:
| Document / section title contains | Skill |
|---|---|
| Non-Disclosure, NDA, Confidentiality Agreement (as the main agreement) | nda-review |
| Master Services Agreement, Professional Services, Statement of Work, Consulting Agreement | vendor-agreement-review |
| Subscription, SaaS, Cloud Services, Order Form with auto-renewal, Software License with recurring fees | saas-msa-review (overlay on vendor-agreement-review) |
| Data Processing Addendum, DPA, Data Processing Agreement (as exhibit or standalone) | note for vendor-agreement-review → data protection section |
| Service Level Agreement, SLA (as exhibit) | note for saas-msa-review → SLA section |
Multiple skills may apply. Common combinations:
When the structure is genuinely ambiguous after reading titles (e.g., a document titled "Agreement" with no exhibits listed), read the first two pages of the body to resolve it — then stop and route.
Confirm routing if enabled.
If confirm_routing is true in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md (or field is absent):
Wait for confirmation before proceeding. If the user corrects the routing, apply their instruction and proceed.
If confirm_routing is false: proceed silently. Log the routing decision at the top of the review memo so the user can see what was applied.
Run the skill(s). Follow each skill's workflow fully. If multiple skills apply, run them in sequence and integrate the output into a single memo — don't produce separate memos.
Check for escalations: If any issue exceeds the reviewer's authority per the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md matrix, invoke escalation-flagger to route and draft the ask.
Offer follow-ups:
Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Review preferences:
The cold-start interview should ask about this preference. Default is true — confirmation on. As trust builds, the user can set it to false.
Full review memo per the skill's format. Routing decision logged at the top. Deviation-by-deviation, specific redline language, named approver. Saved where ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → House style says work product goes.
