contract-redliner
Reads a contract and generates redline suggestions with replacement language. Identifies unfavorable terms, missing protections, ambiguous language, liability exposure, IP risks, termination traps, and auto-renewal gotchas. Produces a contract-review.md with clause-by-clause analysis, risk ratings, tracked changes format, and negotiation talking points. Use when the user wants redline markup, contract markup, or suggested contract edits.
Why this skill is useful
Generates a comprehensive contract review with specific redline suggestions and negotiation points that the AI cannot produce without this structured workflow.

What this skill does
Contract Redliner Read a contract and produce a contract-review.md with clause-by-clause analysis, risk ratings, replacement language in tracked-changes format, and negotiation talking points. Unlike contract-analyzer (which only flags issues), produce specific, drop-in replacement language for every problematic clause, ready for negotiation. Contents references/risk-categories.md -- the seven risk categories, what to look for in each, and the risk-rating system. references/redline-format.md -- per-issue redline entry format and tracked-changes conventions. references/output-template.md -- the full contract-review.md structure to generate. references/contract-types.md -- per-contract-type focus areas and worked examples. Workflow 1. Ingest the contract. Accept pasted text, a file path (.txt, .md, .pdf, .docx), or a URL. Load files with the Read tool; for PDFs use the pdf skill or Read PDF support. Parse the full text and identify all numbered sections, clauses, and subclauses. 2. Identify type and parties. Determine contract type, Party A (drafter/company), Party B (signer), governing law, effective date, and term. Apply the matching focus area from references/contract-types.md. 3. Analyze every section. Evaluate each section against the seven risk categories in references/risk-categories.md. Assign each section a rating (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW / ACCEPTABLE). Mark fair sections as ACCEPTABLE with a brief note -- do not skip them. 4. Generate redlines. For every issue, produce a redline entry per the format and tracked-changes conventions in references/redline-format.md. Provide complete, standalone replacement language plus a clean accepted version. 5. Write contract-review.md. Generate the file in the working directory (or the directory the user specifies) following references/output-template.md exactly and in order. …
