## What it does

The skill accepts an agreement from a file path, Drive link, CLM ID, or pasted text. It reads the main title and attachment titles first, then selects `vendor-agreement-review`, `nda-review`, or `saas-msa-review`. When several review workflows apply, it combines their findings into one memo.

Before reviewing, it loads the playbook at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Placeholder content stops the process and prompts you to run `/commercial-legal:cold-start-interview` first. That makes a completed playbook a prerequisite for a review.

The `confirm_routing` preference controls whether the skill asks you to approve the chosen route. With `true`, it lists the agreement type and attachments before continuing; with `false`, it logs the routing decision at the top of the memo. Issues beyond the reviewer authority matrix go to `escalation-flagger`.

  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

1. **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`.

2. **Get the agreement:** From file path, Drive link, [CLM ID], or pasted text. If none provided, ask.

3. **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.

4. **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)
```
