reviewReview a vendor agreement, NDA, or SaaS subscription against your playbook.
Review is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Contract review. The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
drive.google.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Review loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/review/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).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.
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.
Get the agreement: From file path, Drive link, [CLM ID], or pasted text. If none provided, ask.
Read the document structure — titles first.
Before reading the body, extract:
This is the routing signal. Do not rely on body keywords alone — a 40-page MSA with "confidential" throughout is not an NDA.
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:
When the structure is genuinely ambiguous after reading titles (e.g., a document titled "Agreement" with no exhibits listed), read the first two pages of the body to resolve it — then stop and route.
Confirm routing if enabled.
If confirm_routing is true in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md (or field is absent):
I'm going to review this as: [agreement type(s)].
Documents identified:
- [Main agreement title] → [skill]
- [Exhibit A title] → [how it will be handled]
- [Exhibit B title] → [how it will be handled]
Sound right? (yes / no — or tell me what I got wrong)Wait for confirmation before proceeding. If the user corrects the routing, apply their instruction and proceed.
If confirm_routing is false: proceed silently. Log the routing decision at the top of the review memo so the user can see what was applied.
Run the skill(s). Follow each skill's workflow fully. If multiple skills apply, run them in sequence and integrate the output into a single memo — don't produce separate memos.
Check for escalations: If any issue exceeds the reviewer's authority per the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md matrix, invoke escalation-flagger to route and draft the ask.
Offer follow-ups:
Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Review preferences:
## Review preferences
confirm_routing: true # Set to false to skip routing confirmation and proceed automaticallyThe cold-start interview should ask about this preference. Default is true — confirmation on. As trust builds, the user can set it to false.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review, .gemini/skills/review, .github/skills/review and .opencode/skills/review in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Review is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: drive.google.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Review is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
