## What it does

This skill maintains a renewal register in `renewal-register.yaml` and lists agreements with approaching cancellation deadlines. Its standard view covers the next `90` days, groups entries by urgency, and suggests which business owner to contact. It also flags agreements whose renewal pricing is uncapped.

Alerts use `send_by_effective` rather than the date by which notice must be received. The skill accounts for the delivery method and transit buffer, keeps both calendar and effective cancellation dates, and records calculation provenance. That is a reason to check the result against the agreement’s notice clause.

Use `--days N` to change the review window, or `--missed` to find passed deadlines without a recorded cancellation. When the register is empty and a CLM is connected, the skill can offer to load active agreements with renewal dates. It also prompts for a `current_term_end` update after an automatic renewal.

# /renewal-tracker

Surfaces what's renewing and when you have to cancel by.

## Instructions

1. **Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/renewal-register.yaml`** (the config directory — survives plugin updates).

2. **Default mode:** Mode 2 — what's coming up in the next 90 days, grouped by urgency using half-open intervals so each deadline lands in exactly one band: 🔴 0–13 days, 🟠 14–44 days, 🟡 45–89 days. Days 14, 45, and 90 are boundaries — each belongs to exactly one band, not two.

3. **`--days N`:** Change the window.

4. **`--missed`:** Mode 4 — cancel-by deadlines that passed without recorded cancellation.

5. **If register is empty and the [CLM] is connected:** Offer Mode 3 — scan the [CLM] for active agreements with renewal dates and bulk-load.

6. **Output includes recommended actions:** who to ping (the business owner from each register entry), which ones have uncapped pricing (get leverage before window closes).

## Examples

```
/commercial-legal:renewal-tracker
```

```
/commercial-legal:renewal-tracker --days 180
```

```
/commercial-legal:renewal-tracker --missed
```

## Purpose

Nobody reads a contract twice. The renewal date is extracted once, at review time, and then it lives somewhere — ideally somewhere that shouts at you 45 days before the cancel-by deadline, not 45 days after.

This skill maintains the renewal register and surfaces what's coming.

## The register

Lives at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/renewal-register.yaml` (the config directory — survives plugin updates). Each entry:

```yaml
- counterparty: "Acme SaaS Inc."
  agreement: "Acme Platform Subscription Agreement"
  signed_date: 2025-06-15
  initial_term_end: 2026-06-15
  current_term_end: 2026-06-15     # rolls forward after each auto-renewal; compute cancel_by_* from this
  renewal_mechanism: "auto-renew annual"
  notice_period_days: 60
  notice_method: "email"           # email / portal / certified mail / registered post / courier / per contract §X
  transit_buffer_days: 0           # 0 for electronic, 5 for domestic certified mail, 10 for international registered post — or per contract if specified
  cancel_by_calendar: 2026-04-16    # current_term_end minus notice_period_days
````
