## What it does

This skill turns a completed contract review into a plain-language business summary. It keeps the framing of the original review: purchasing summaries cover what the company gets and gives up, while sales summaries cover what is being sold and the obligations attached to it. If the deal side is unclear, it asks the lawyer.

Before drafting, it checks the intended destination. For a public channel, counterparty, vendor, or company-wide list, it flags that the recipient is outside the privilege circle and offers a legal-only version, a sanitized version, or both. That check matters before the text is forwarded.

The output is capped at 200 words: a verdict paragraph, a paragraph covering the catch, a 2-3 item checklist, and an approval-timing close. Before saying a contract is in the renewal tracker, the skill checks for a `renewal-tracker` result; otherwise it adds tracker entry as an action item.

name: stakeholder-summary
description: >
  Translates a contract review into a summary the business stakeholder will
  actually read. Not a legal memo — a two-minute answer to "can I sign this
  and what do I need to know." Use when user says "summarize for the business",
  "write this up for [stakeholder]", "explain this to procurement", "non-legal
  summary", or when a review is done and needs to go to someone outside legal.

# Stakeholder Summary

## Matter context

**Matter context.** Check `## Matter workspaces` in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If `Enabled` is `✗` (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/commercial-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`." Load the active matter's `matter.md` for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

---

## Destination check

Before producing output, check where it's going. If the user has named a destination (a channel, a distribution list, a counterparty, "everyone"), ask whether it's inside the privilege circle. Public channels, company-wide lists, counterparty/opposing counsel, vendors, and clients (for work product) waive the protection. When the destination looks outside the circle, flag it and offer (a) the privileged version for legal only, (b) a sanitized version for the broader channel, or (c) both — don't silently apply a privileged header and then help paste it somewhere the header won't protect it. See the canonical `## Shared guardrails → Destination check` in this plugin's CLAUDE.md.

## Purpose

The business owner who asked for this contract doesn't want a legal memo. They want to know: can I sign it, what's the catch, and what do I need to do. This skill takes a completed review and turns it into that.

## Which side?

The underlying review memo was run against either the sales-side or the purchasing-side playbook. Carry that framing through. A purchasing-side summary tells the business owner "here's what we're getting and what we agreed to give up"; a sales-side summary tells them "here's what we're selling and what we're on the hook for." Check which side the review was run on (it should be noted at the top of the review memo) and match the voice. If it's not obvious from the memo, ask the lawyer before summarizing.
