What it does
Msa Snapshot is an agent skill from LegalQuants/lq-ai. Use when the user wants to compare the substantive commercial terms across N master services agreements side-by-side — term and renewal, payment terms, limitation of liability, and indemnification posture across each agreement. Returns a row-per-document × column-per-question grid with citations per cell. MSA-tuned reference skill for the M3-C outputformat - table mode; intended as a fork-and-tune starting point for operators reviewing MSA portfolios.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI for legal teams. Bring your own keys, run it where you want, own your data. The licence is Apache-2.0.

- The user wants to compare the substantive commercial terms across N master services agreements side-by-side — term and renewal

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ac94dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
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.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Msa Snapshot loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.

MSA Snapshot
A reference skill for the M3-C output_format: table mode, tuned for master services agreement portfolios. Produces a side-by-side grid of MSA-specific commercial terms across N agreements — the in-house lawyer's "compare these vendor MSAs" or "diligence these target MSAs" workflow. Each cell carries a citation back to the source document; failed extractions render as not found rather than confidently-wrong text.
When this skill applies
Apply when the user has a portfolio of MSAs and wants to see how key commercial terms compare across them. Examples:
- "Pull liability caps, indemnification, and payment terms across these 8 vendor MSAs before our renewal cycle."
- "For this acquisition diligence, show me the renewal trigger and termination posture across the target's top 15 MSAs."
- "Compare the liability carveouts across our SaaS MSAs vs. our commercial-purchase MSAs."
Do not apply this skill to:
- Single-MSA review — use
msa-review-saasormsa-review-commercial-purchasefor one document at a time. - General contract comparison across mixed types — use
contract-snapshotfor the general Term/Survival/Carveouts/Governing-Law grid. - NDA portfolios — use
nda-snapshotfor NDA-specific columns (Confidential Information definition, permitted recipients, etc.).
Pairing with the synthetic corpus
This skill ships paired with the synthetic MSA corpus in docs/quickstart/sample-msas/ (5 MSAs with varying commercial terms). Operators trying LQ.AI for the first time can attach those 5 PDFs to a Knowledge Base and run this skill to see the tabular workflow end-to-end without committing real documents to the system.

Fork-and-tune notes
The four columns here cover the highest-frequency MSA comparison questions for in-house counsel doing portfolio review or diligence. They do not overlap with the general contract-snapshot columns (Term, Survival, Carveouts, Governing Law) — operators wanting both can run the two skills in sequence.
When forking for your own MSA template / counterparty patterns, common modifications include:
- Adding a Termination for Convenience column if your business cares about exit flexibility (notice period + fee structure).
- Adding a SLA / Service Levels column for SaaS-heavy MSA portfolios (credit structure + measurement period).
- Adding a Data Processing column if you need to compare DPA references and data-residency commitments across vendors.
- Replacing the Indemnification column with a narrower IP Indemnification column if that is the only indemnification scope you care about.
- Bumping
minimum_inference_tierto 3 on all columns for high-stakes diligence work.
The Limitation of Liability and Indemnification columns default to minimum_inference_tier: 3 because these clauses are dense, fragmented across the document, and most prone to silent extraction errors. The carveouts in particular are the most-negotiated piece of an MSA — surfacing them inaccurately is worse than surfacing them not-at-all.
Output expectations
For each document × column cell:
- A quoted phrase or short paragraph from the source document, anchored by character offsets to enable the citation modal.
- A brief plain-language summary when the operative clause spans multiple paragraphs.
- An explicit "one-way (vendor-favorable)" / "one-way (customer-favorable)" / "mutual" tag where the column asks about directionality (e.g., Indemnification).
not foundwhen the requested term is genuinely absent from the document (not when extraction failed — those surface as a parse error in the cell footer).
