A Claude Code skills and subagents pack for first-pass review of NDAs, MSAs, SaaS agreements, contractor agreements, and commercial or residential leases. Built for small firms and solo attorneys who want an AI-assisted first read before they put their own eyes, and their license, on a document.

This is not legal advice.

Every finding, redline, risk score, and memo this pack produces is AI-generated drafting assistance. None of it is legal advice, none of it is a substitute for an attorney, and nothing it writes should be sent to a client or a counterparty until a licensed attorney in the governing jurisdiction has reviewed it. Treat all output as a first draft from a very fast, very literal junior associate who has never passed the bar.

What's in the pack

Skills (skills/): reference material Claude Code loads on demand.

Agents (agents/): a nine-agent review pipeline, orchestrated by legal-review-lead.

1. legal-clause-extractor turns a document into a structured clause map.
2. legal-playbook-checker flags issues against the relevant playbook.
3. legal-jurisdiction-researcher verifies citations and adds jurisdiction-specific findings.
4. legal-risk-scorer rolls findings into a ranked, dollar-weighted risk matrix.
5. legal-redline-drafter drafts replacement language for material findings.
6. legal-negotiation-strategist builds a concession ladder for each redline.
7. legal-client-memo-writer writes a one-page, plain-English summary for the client.
8. legal-adversarial-reviewer runs an independent second pass that hunts for hallucinated findings or quotes.
9. legal-review-lead runs the above in sequence and assembles the attorney sign-off package.

Every agent in the pipeline treats its output as a draft for the next agent, or the attorney, to check. Nothing is final until a human with a bar card says so.

Install

Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ and agents from ~/.claude/agents/. To install this pack:

# from inside this repo
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
cp agents/*.md ~/.claude/agents/

On Windows (PowerShell):

Copy-Item -Recurse skills\* "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\"
Copy-Item agents\*.md "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\agents\"

Restart Claude Code (or start a new session) so it picks up the new skills and agents. You can confirm the agents are registered by asking Claude Code to list available agent types, or by typing a request like "review this lease" and checking that it routes to legal-review-lead.

Worked example

examples/sample_nda.txt is a short, fictional mutual NDA between two invented companies, with no real parties and no real deal terms. examples/example_run.md walks through what the contract-review-playbook skill flags in that NDA: an uncapped, one-directional indemnity clause dressed up inside a nominally mutual agreement, a missing trade-secret notice, and a couple of minor drafting notes. It also shows one example redline in the pack's two-variant format.

Run it yourself: point legal-review-lead at examples/sample_nda.txt and ask it to review the NDA. Expect a clause map, a findings list, a risk matrix, draft redlines, a negotiation plan, a client memo, and an adversarial pass, each gated on the sign-off checklist at the end of legal-review-lead's pipeline.

Why this exists

Reviewing a routine NDA or commercial lease by hand is slow and the issues repeat across documents: the same handful of red flags, the same missing clauses, the same negotiation moves. This pack encodes that repetition into a checklist-driven pipeline so an attorney's first pass starts from a marked-up draft instead of a blank page, while keeping every legal judgment call, every citation, and every send decision in the attorney's hands.

Contributing

This pack ships as a starting point, not a finished product. Playbook coverage is currently strongest for NDAs, MSA/SaaS agreements, and Georgia-first commercial and residential leases; other document types and jurisdictions will need their own playbook files (see the "Playbooks" table inside each skill's SKILL.md) before the pipeline covers them well. Pull requests that add playbook coverage, tighten the citation allowlist, or improve the adversarial-review checks are welcome.
