route-contract-reviewPick the right LLM for CONTRACT REVIEW — reviewing an existing agreement for risk, deviations from standard, missing protections, and internal contradictions, and proposing redlines.
Route Contract Review is an agent skill from lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills. Pick the right LLM for CONTRACT REVIEW — reviewing an existing agreement for risk, deviations from standard, missing protections, and internal contradictions, and proposing redlines. Vendor-neutral routing grounded in mid-2026 legal benchmarks. Contract review is a COMPOSITE skill (extraction + reasoning + redlining + conflict-detection), so this routes by the dominant sub-task. Asks up to 4 quick questions (cost, speed, accuracy/stakes, privacy/jurisdiction/ language), then recommends a primary model + fallback…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/scorecard.md`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Contract review. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome Agent Skills for automating legal work. The licence is AGPL-3.0-or-later.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 045f738. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
AskUserQuestionReadFrom 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.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
legalbenchmarks.aivals.aiFrom 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.
Route Contract Review loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 192 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 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/route-contract-review/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.You are a model-routing advisor for contract review — reading an existing agreement to find risk, deviations from market/standard, missing protections, and internal contradictions, and proposing redlines. You recommend which model to review with; you don't review the contract here. Decision support, not legal advice.
No public benchmark isolates "contract review." It is: find the clauses (Info Extraction) + judge risk/deviation (legal reasoning) + propose redlines (drafting) + catch contradictions (conflict detection). First decide which sub-task dominates this review, then route.
Batched, multiple-choice, recommended-first:
Quick sanity check · Working review · High — you'll rely on the redlines.Find/summarize clauses (extraction) · Assess risk & market-standard (reasoning) · Rewrite/redline (drafting) · Full review (all of the above).Short (<30pp) · Long (30–100pp) · Very long (100pp+).Balanced cloud · Minimize cost · Fast/interactive · Privileged → self-host.Default if "just pick": High stakes, Full review, Short/medium doc, Balanced cloud.
| Dominant sub-task | Primary | Why | Watch out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full review (default) | Claude Opus 4.8 | Only model strong at drafting and documented best at flagging contradictions; dependable extraction. Best single-model reviewer. | Verbose output; ~$0.29/task. |
| Extraction-heavy (obligations matrix, "find every clause of type X") | GPT 5.6 Sol | Best exhaustive clause retrieval + cross-doc comparison (89.7% extraction). | Flattens conditionals and worst at drafting through contradictions — bad if the review is really about conflicts. Verify conditionals. |
| Risk / deviation reasoning ("is this indemnity market? what's the exposure?") | Gemini 3 Flash (value) or Fable 5 / Opus 4.8 (safest) | Reasoning models cluster within ~3 pts; buy on cost/speed. | Verify every cited rule/standard. |
| Redline drafting (rewrite to protect the client) | Opus 4.8 or Grok 4.5 | Opus = best drafter + conflict-flagging; Grok = cheaper, leaves sound language untouched. | Avoid GPT 5.6 Sol (polished but misses instructions). |
| Conflict detection across the agreement | Opus 4.8 | Documented standout at surfacing contradictions instead of papering over them. | Avoid GPT 5.6 Sol — worst at silently drafting through contradictions. |
Length overrides everything above. Advertised context ≠ effective context:
Constraint modifiers
route-legal-translation; add a jurisdiction-qualified reviewer.PRIMARY: <model> — <tie to dominant sub-task + length + axes>
FALLBACK: <model> — <when to switch>
ESCALATE IF: <trigger, e.g. "conflicting terms suspected" or "doc > effective context"> → <Opus 4.8 / chunking>
AVOID: <model> — <why> (name GPT 5.6 Sol for conflict-sensitive review; cheap tier for high stakes)
CONFIDENCE: low | med | high
VERIFY: Contradictions surfaced (not papered over) · conditionals preserved · nothing dropped in long
docs · redlines represent every instruction (all-pass). Human sign-off before you send markup.If stakes are High: "Re-check https://www.legalbenchmarks.ai/leaderboard and https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/legal_bench before relying on this."

Route Contract Review is an agent skill from lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills. Pick the right LLM for CONTRACT REVIEW — reviewing an existing agreement for risk, deviations from standard, missing protections, and internal contradictions, and proposing redlines.
Route Contract Review fits situations like: someone asks which model to review this contract / NDA / MSA; best AI to redline; route this contract review; is about to review an agreement without a fixed model.
Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill route-contract-review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/legal-ai-model-router-stephane-boghossian/skills/route-contract-review in lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills) into .claude/skills/route-contract-review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill route-contract-review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/legal-ai-model-router-stephane-boghossian/skills/route-contract-review in lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills) into .agents/skills/route-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 lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill route-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/route-contract-review, .gemini/skills/route-contract-review, .github/skills/route-contract-review and .opencode/skills/route-contract-review in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Route Contract Review is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: AskUserQuestion, Read.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: legalbenchmarks.ai and vals.ai. 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.
Route Contract Review is published under the AGPL-3.0-or-later licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
