## What it does

Contract Review is an agent skill grounded in the CUAD dataset (41 legal risk categories from 510 real contracts). It provides position-aware contract analysis — you specify which party you are (customer, vendor, buyer, seller, receiving party) and the skill adjusts what it flags as risky. Output includes: risk assessment with severity ratings (Critical / Important / Acceptable), a red flags quick scan (uncapped indemnification, unilateral amendment rights, offshore jurisdiction), key terms table with section references, market standard benchmarks (liability cap thresholds, auto-renewal notice periods, non-compete durations by jurisdiction), negotiability ratings showing what is realistically changeable, and specific redline language rather than generic advice. Specialized checklists exist for NDA, SaaS/MSA, payment/merchant agreements, M&A, and finder/broker contracts. Outputs structured JSON redlines compatible with the companion legal-redline-tools package to produce tracked-changes Word docs and PDFs.

## When to use

Use this for first-pass review of commercial contracts before involving legal counsel, or to prepare informed questions for attorney review. Best for NDAs, SaaS agreements, M&A documents, and merchant/payment agreements. Not a substitute for attorney review on material deals. US law focus; non-US provisions may be flagged but not fully analyzed.
