About
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.
/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.
Instructions
-
Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md. If placeholders present, stop and prompt: "Run/commercial-legal:cold-start-interviewfirst — 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 astrue. -
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:
- The main agreement title (e.g., "Master Services Agreement", "Non-Disclosure Agreement")
- All exhibit, schedule, addendum, and attachment titles (e.g., "Exhibit A — Data Processing Addendum", "Schedule 1 — Subscription Order Form", "Annex B — Service Level Agreement")
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:
- MSA + DPA exhibit → vendor-agreement-review, with DPA noted
- SaaS subscription + Order Form + SLA exhibit → saas-msa-review (covers all three)
- MSA + Order Form with auto-renewal → vendor-agreement-review + saas-msa-review overlay
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_routingistruein~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md(or field is absent):I'm going to review this as: [agreement type(s)]. Documents identified: - [Main agreement title] → [skill] - [Exhibit A title] → [how it will be handled] - [Exhibit B title] → [how it will be handled] Sound right? (yes / no — or tell me what I got wrong)Wait for confirmation before proceeding. If the user corrects the routing, apply their instruction and proceed.
If
confirm_routingisfalse: 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.mdmatrix, invoke escalation-flagger to route and draft the ask. -
Offer follow-ups:
- Stakeholder summary for the business owner
- Redline .docx with tracked changes
- [CLM] record creation (if connected)
- Add to renewal register (if auto-renewal found)
Configuring confirm_routing
Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Review preferences:
## Review preferences
confirm_routing: true # Set to false to skip routing confirmation and proceed automatically
The cold-start interview should ask about this preference. Default is true — confirmation on. As trust builds, the user can set it to false.
