contract-reviewAnalyze contracts for risks, check completeness, and provide actionable recommendations.
Contract Review is an agent skill from claude-office-skills/skills. Analyze contracts for risks, check completeness, and provide actionable recommendations. Supports employment contracts, NDAs, service agreements, and more.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Contract review. The repository describes itself as: A curated collection of practical Claude Skills for real-world office tasks. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9c4c7d5. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From 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.
Contract Review loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,465 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/contract-review/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.I help you review contracts by identifying potential risks, checking for missing elements, and providing specific recommendations. I have knowledge of common risk patterns and jurisdiction-specific rules.
What I can do:
What I cannot do:
Upload your contract file (PDF, DOCX, or paste text) and tell me:
I'll review the contract and provide:
Feel free to ask:
What it means: You could be responsible for unlimited damages. Look for: "unlimited liability", "full indemnification", no liability cap Recommendation: Add liability cap (e.g., 12 months of fees, or contract value)
What it means: You give away all intellectual property, including work you did before. Look for: "all intellectual property", "work product", "inventions", "work for hire" Recommendation: Exclude pre-existing IP; define scope clearly; check state protections (CA Labor Code 2870)
What it means: The other party can end the contract anytime, but you can't. Look for: "at will", "unilateral termination", "without cause", "sole discretion" Recommendation: Require mutual termination rights or reasonable notice period
What it means: Only you bear responsibility for problems, not them. Look for: "indemnify and hold harmless", "defend at own expense", "all claims" Recommendation: Negotiate mutual indemnification
What it means: You give up legal rights you're entitled to. Look for: "waive", "waiver of rights", "release all claims", "forever discharge" Recommendation: Remove or limit scope; some waivers may be unenforceable
What it means: No provisions for how personal data is handled (GDPR/CCPA risk). Look for: Absence of "personal data", "GDPR", "privacy", "data protection" Recommendation: Add data protection clause compliant with applicable laws
What it means: Contract renews automatically with difficult opt-out. Look for: "automatically renew", "unless written notice", "evergreen" Recommendation: Add clear opt-out with 30-day notice minimum
What it means: Penalty for breach exceeds reasonable damages. Look for: "penalty", "liquidated damages", "forfeit" Recommendation: Ensure penalty is proportionate to actual damages
What it means: Restrictions on future work that are too broad. Look for: "non-compete", "non-competition", "competitive business" Recommendation: Limit to 1-2 years, specific geography, narrow scope Note: California: generally unenforceable; FTC proposing ban (pending)
What it means: Confidentiality obligations that never expire. Look for: "perpetual", "indefinite", "forever", "in perpetuity" Recommendation: Set reasonable time limit (3-5 years typical)
What it means: Disputes resolved in a place far from you or favoring them. Look for: "jurisdiction", "arbitration venue", "exclusive venue" Recommendation: Negotiate neutral venue or your local jurisdiction
What it means: Long payment cycles or subjective acceptance criteria. Look for: "net 90", "upon satisfaction", "when commercially reasonable" Recommendation: Negotiate shorter cycles (net 30), objective acceptance criteria
What it means: No process for managing changes to work scope. Look for: "change order", "as directed", "scope change", "additional work" Recommendation: Add change management process with pricing mechanism
What it means: No provision for unforeseeable events (pandemic, disaster). Look for: Absence of "force majeure", "act of god" Recommendation: Add standard force majeure clause
What it means: No right to verify compliance or check records. Look for: Absence of "inspection", "audit rights", "records access" Recommendation: Add reasonable audit rights for significant contracts
A well-drafted contract should include:
| State | Key Differences |
|---|---|
| California | Daily overtime after 8hrs; non-competes void; strong employee protections |
| Texas | Strong at-will; non-competes enforceable if reasonable |
| New York | NYC extra protections; salary history ban; paid family leave |
When I review your contract, I'll provide:

### Disclaimer
This analysis is for informational purposes only and does not constitute
legal advice. For important contracts, consult a qualified attorney.User: Review this employment contract. I'm the employee, this is for a US company in California.
Me: [After analysis]
Document: Employment Agreement
Type: Employment Contract
Jurisdiction: United States (California)
Your Role: Employee
| Severity | Count | Key Issues |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 High | 2 | IP assignment too broad, No liability cap |
| 🟡 Medium | 3 | Non-compete (unenforceable in CA), Auto-renewal, Arbitration |
| 🟢 Low | 1 | No audit rights |
Overall Assessment: ⚠️ REVIEW NEEDED
1. Broad IP Assignment (Section 5.1)
"Employee assigns to Company all right, title and interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, and work product..."
2. Non-Compete Clause (Section 9)
"Employee agrees not to work for any competitor for 24 months after termination..."
User: Is a 3-year non-compete normal?
Me: No, 3 years is longer than typical. Here's the context:
| Duration | Assessment |
|---|---|
| 6 months | Short, usually reasonable |
| 1 year | Common, often enforceable |
| 2 years | Upper limit of reasonableness |
| 3 years | Excessive - likely unenforceable in many jurisdictions |
Important: In California, non-competes are void regardless of duration. Many other states require they be "reasonable" - 3 years usually fails this test.
Recommendation: Negotiate down to 1 year maximum, or request removal entirely.
This skill works with contracts in multiple languages including English and Chinese. Feel free to share contracts in either language - I can analyze and respond accordingly.

Contract Review fits situations like: tasks that involve Contract review.
Run `npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill contract-review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (contract-review in claude-office-skills/skills) into .claude/skills/contract-review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill contract-review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (contract-review in claude-office-skills/skills) into .agents/skills/contract-review in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill contract-review -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/contract-review, .gemini/skills/contract-review, .github/skills/contract-review and .opencode/skills/contract-review in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Contract Review is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. 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.
Contract Review is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
