AI Contract Review Skill for Law Firms (Firm Playbook)
Dedicated AI contract-review tools cost hundreds a month, priced for high volume, and generic AI drafting risks output that is grammatically correct but substantively wrong. This skill reviews a contract clause-by-clause against a playbook, flags each clause green, yellow, or red with plain-English rationale, and suggests redlines. The generic playbook is free. Your firm's own playbook is a Build.

Compliance: assisted draft, always reviewed
This drafts from the input you supply. It never sends or files anything, never invents facts you didn’t provide, and carries a hard-coded “Not legal advice — review before use” disclaimer on every output.

Frequently asked
What do I need to run this?
Claude with Cowork. Install the skill, drop a contract into a folder, and run it. The free tier uses a generic playbook.
Does it give legal advice on the contract?
No. It flags clauses and suggests redlines against a playbook, with a hard not-legal-advice note. It never auto-sends or executes. The attorney reviews every flag and every redline before use.
How is the paid Build different from the free tier?
The free tier uses one generic playbook. The Build encodes your firm’s own positions across multiple documents and clause types, tuned to your matter types, so the review reflects how your firm actually negotiates.
What does the Build cost?
The custom firm playbook is a Done-for-You Build, typically $5k to $15k over 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how many document types you want encoded. Book a call to scope it.
Want the version built for your firm?
Done-for-You Build.
The free tier reviews against a generic playbook. The paid Build encodes your firm's own multi-document playbook: your negotiation positions, your standard clauses, your matter types. We build the playbook with you and tune the skill to your practice.
