Review a vendor/SaaS contract against a practical checklist before you sign.

  • Asked to review a vendor contract

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement

What it does

Vendor Contract Checklist is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Review a vendor/SaaS contract against a practical checklist before you sign. Use when asked to review a vendor contract, check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement, flag risky terms, or prepare negotiation points before signing. Produces a structured review — key terms extracted, a risk-flagged checklist (commercial, legal, security, exit), questions to ask, and prioritised negotiation points. Not legal advice.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to review a vendor contract
  • Check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement
  • Flag risky terms
  • Prepare negotiation points before signing

Example prompts

  • “/vendor-contract-checklist”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Vendor Contract Checklist loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 510 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Review a vendor/SaaS contract against a practical checklist before you sign. Use when asked to review a vendor contract, check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement, flag risky terms, or prepare negotiation points before signing. Produces a structured review — key terms extracted, a risk-flagged checklist (commercial, legal, security, exit), questions to ask, and prioritised negotiation points. Not legal advice.

Vendor Contract Checklist Skill

Most bad vendor deals are lost in the terms nobody read: auto-renewal, price escalators, weak SLAs, no exit, vague data rights. This skill reviews a contract against a practical checklist, extracts the terms that actually bite, flags the risks, and turns them into specific questions and negotiation points — so you sign with your eyes open.

Note: this is a practical review aid, not legal advice. For material commitments, high spend, or anything regulated, have it reviewed by qualified counsel. Flag, don't rule on, legal questions.

Working from a brief

Given a contract (or a description of one), produce the full review anyway — extract what's present, and for standard terms that are missing or unstated, flag them as gaps to confirm rather than assuming they're fine. Never withhold the review for an incomplete document; mark what couldn't be assessed.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else mark as "not found — confirm"):

  • The contract — the agreement text (MSA, order form, SaaS terms, DPA), or its key terms.
  • The deal — what you're buying, the spend, and the term length.
  • What matters to you — must-haves (uptime, data residency, exit), and any internal/legal/security requirements.

Output Format

Vendor Contract Review: [vendor]

1. Key terms at a glance — extracted: parties, term & renewal, total cost & escalators, payment terms, SLA, liability cap, termination, data/IP, governing law.

2. Risk-flagged checklist — by area, each marked ✅ ok / ⚠️ review / ❌ problem / ❓ not found:

AreaItemStatusNote
Commercialauto-renewal & notice period⚠️60-day notice, auto-renews 12 mo — calendar it
Commercialprice increase cap❓not capped — negotiate a cap
Legalliability cap vs. fees⚠️capped at 3 months' fees — low for the risk
Security/datadata deletion & portability on exit❌not addressed — add
SLAuptime + remedy (credits)⚠️99.5%, credits only — check fit
Exittermination for convenience❓not present — request

3. Questions to ask the vendor — the specific clarifications before signing.

4. Negotiation points — prioritised, with a suggested ask for each (what "good" looks like): the few terms worth pushing on, and the rationale.

5. Sign-off note — what's fine, what needs negotiation, and what to send to legal.

Quality Checks

  • Auto-renewal, notice period, and price-escalation terms are surfaced explicitly (the usual traps)
  • SLA is assessed with its remedy, not just the uptime number
  • Data handling on exit (deletion, portability) and liability cap vs. spend are checked
  • Missing standard protections are flagged as gaps, not assumed present
  • Negotiation points are prioritised with a concrete suggested ask each
  • It flags legal questions for counsel rather than ruling on them

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not skim only the order form — the MSA/terms is where the risk lives
  • Do not ignore auto-renewal and notice windows — they quietly lock you in
  • Do not accept an SLA without checking the remedy (credits ≠ reliability)
  • Do not present this as legal advice — flag material/legal items for counsel
  • Do not produce a flat list — prioritise what's actually worth negotiating

Based On

Procurement and vendor-risk practice — key-term extraction, risk-flagged review across commercial/legal/security/exit, and prioritised negotiation.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Review a vendor contract."
  • "Check a SaaS/MSA/subscription agreement."
  • "Prepare negotiation points before signing."
