Contract Review — Multi-Agent Orchestrator

Flagship contract review skill that spawns five parallel analysis agents, then

aggregates their findings into a single executive report with a Contract Safety

Score. Designed for founders, freelancers, and small-business operators who need

to understand what they are signing without retaining outside counsel for every

agreement.

Overview

Most contracts arrive as walls of dense legalese. A single-pass review misses

nuance. This skill mirrors how a law firm reviews contracts: multiple

specialists work in parallel, each with a different lens, then a senior partner

synthesizes everything into a recommendation.

The orchestrator:

1. Ingests the contract (file path or pasted text).
2. Classifies the contract type and extracts metadata.
3. Launches five parallel agents (risk, plain-English, missing protections,

compliance, and party-balance analysis).

1. Aggregates results into a unified report with a 0-100 Contract Safety Score.

Prerequisites

• The contract must be provided as a file path to a readable document (PDF,

DOCX, TXT, MD) or pasted directly into the conversation.

• For file-based input the file must exist and be accessible via the Read tool.
• No external APIs or network access are required.

Instructions

1. Ingest the contract.

• If a file path is provided, read the full document with the Read tool.
• If the text is pasted, capture it verbatim.
• Confirm the document length; warn if it exceeds 50 pages.

1. Classify the contract.

Determine the contract type from one of the following categories:

• Employment Agreement
• Independent Contractor / Freelance Agreement
• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
• Master Services Agreement (MSA)
• Software License / SaaS Agreement
• Terms of Service / Terms of Use
• Privacy Policy / Data Processing Agreement
• Partnership / Joint Venture Agreement
• Lease / Real Estate Agreement
• Other (describe)

1. Extract metadata.

Capture: parties, effective date, term/duration, governing law,

dispute resolution mechanism, total contract value (if stated).

1. Launch five parallel agents using the Task tool.

Each agent receives the full contract text and returns structured findings.

1. Aggregate results.

Combine all five agent reports into a unified document with these sections:

• Executive Summary (3-5 bullet points)
• Contract Metadata table
• Contract Safety Score (0-100) with letter grade
• Risk Heat Map (top 5 risks ranked by severity)
• Plain-English Quick Reference (critical clauses only)
• Missing Protections (critical and important only)
• Compliance Findings
• Party-Balance Assessment
• Recommended Next Steps (negotiate, accept, reject, consult attorney)

1. Compute the Contract Safety Score.

Weighted formula:

Letter grades: A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), F (< 60).

1. Present the final report in the conversation and note the output

filename.

Output

Filename: CONTRACT-REVIEW-{party-or-title}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md

The report uses Markdown with tables and follows this structure:

# Contract Review Report
## Executive Summary
## Contract Metadata
## Contract Safety Score: [score]/100 ([grade])
## Risk Heat Map
## Plain-English Quick Reference
## Missing Protections
## Compliance Findings
## Party-Balance Assessment
## Recommended Next Steps
## Disclaimer

Error Handling

Examples

Example 1 — File-based review:

> User: Review the contract at ~/contracts/acme-msa-2026.pdf

The orchestrator reads the file, classifies it as a Master Services Agreement,

launches five agents, and produces a report:

Contract Safety Score: 72/100 (C)
Top Risk: Unlimited indemnification liability (Section 8.2)
Missing: No force majeure clause, no data breach notification timeline
Balance: Tilts 65/35 in favor of Acme Corp
Recommendation: Negotiate Sections 8.2 and 12.1 before signing

Example 2 — Pasted text:

> User: Review this contract: [pasted NDA text]

The orchestrator classifies it as a Mutual NDA, flags a unilateral

non-solicitation clause hidden in the definitions, and scores it 58/100 (F).
