## What it does

The skill reads vendor AI terms and compares them to your playbook in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`. It walks the terms one by one: does the vendor train on your inputs, are there quality-review carveouts that let staff read them, who owns outputs, how is liability capped, will you be told when the model changes.

It first confirms your vendor governance positions are filled in. If the config still holds `[PLACEHOLDER]`, it points you to `/ai-governance-legal:cold-start-interview` or offers a provisional run on generic defaults. It also diffs the terms against your own `## AI policy commitments` — agreeing to something that contradicts your policy gets flagged.

Feed it the real language: an AI addendum, the main agreement with AI provisions, or a master agreement plus DPA plus addendum. An acceptable use policy alone is not enough, because it only covers what you may not do and says nothing about what the vendor may do with your data. When a DPA exists but no AI addendum does, the skill checks that gap separately.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill vendor-ai-review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/vendor-ai-review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vendor-ai-review/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill vendor-ai-review -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/vendor-ai-review/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill vendor-ai-review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vendor-ai-review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal --path ai-governance-legal/skills/vendor-ai-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/vendor-ai-review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill vendor-ai-review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/ai-governance-legal/skills/vendor-ai-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find out whether a vendor trains on your prompts and documents
- spot quality-review carveouts that expose your inputs to vendor staff
- check the liability cap for incorrect model output
- confirm you get notice before the model changes
- catch conflicts between the contract and your own AI policy

## Example prompts
- /ai-governance-legal:vendor-ai-review openai-enterprise-agreement.pdf
- review this AI agreement before we sign
- the vendor sent an AI addendum, go through it term by term

  Review vendor AI terms — agreement, addendum, or ToS AI provisions — against your

  "what did we agree to with [vendor]", "vendor sent an AI addendum", "is this AI
  contract okay", or attaches vendor AI terms.

# /vendor-ai-review

1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Confirm vendor governance positions are populated — if not, stop and direct to setup.
2. Use the framework below.
3. Confirm document type (AI addendum / main agreement AI provisions / ToS). If only an AUP was provided, ask for the full terms.
4. Term-by-term review: training on data, confidentiality of inputs, model changes, output IP, liability, incident notification, human review rights, use restrictions, audit rights.
5. AI addendum gap check if DPA exists but no AI addendum.
6. AI policy consistency diff vs. `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md`.
7. Output: bottom line, term-by-term, recommended redlines, if-they-won't-move routing.

## 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 `/ai-governance-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/ai-governance-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

## Purpose

Vendor AI terms are where your governance positions actually get tested. The cold-start
interview captures what you *want*. This skill checks what you *agreed to* — and flags
the gaps between those two things.

The direction here is always the same: we are the deployer or buyer reviewing the
vendor's terms. This is the opposite posture from the DPA review controller/processor
question — there's no flip.
