Design Contract Negotiation Strategy

MITGeneralContracts

Use when planning or executing a contract negotiation for commercial agreements, partnerships, or high-stakes deals

Dispute Resolution Clause -- General

MITGeneralContracts

Outlines the agreed mechanism for resolving conflicts, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. Reduces uncertainty and cost by defining a clear path before disagreements escalate.

Distribution Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting a distribution agreement appointing a distributor for the sale and distribution of products in a defined territory. Covers exclusivity, minimum purchase commitments, pricing, marketing obligations, IP licensing, and termination. Particularly important in MENA (UAE, KSA, LB, EG) where commercial agency and distribution laws impose mandatory protections for local distributors that can survive contract termination. Trigger when a supplier or manufacturer needs to appoint a distributor, or when a distributor needs to protect its position.

Distribution Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting a distribution agreement appointing a distributor to sell and resell a supplier's products in a defined territory. Covers exclusivity variants, minimum purchase commitments, marketing obligations, IP/trademark use, and the critical MENA-specific trap of commercial agency registration under UAE, KSA, and Egyptian commercial agency laws that can trigger statutory termination indemnity. Pair with the MENA extension skill for jurisdiction-specific variant clauses.

doc-compare: Semantic Document Comparison

MITGeneralContracts

Semantic comparison between two document versions. Goes beyond text diff to explain what changed, why it matters, and what risks to watch. Built for contracts, policies, specs, and any versioned document. Outputs a structured change report with risk analysis.

Draft a Legal Document

MITGeneralContracts

Draft a legal document for you, like an NDA, a customer contract, an offer letter, a privacy policy, terms of service, a board decision, a reply to a customer data request, or a brief to send a real lawyer. I work from your existing templates if I have them, or from market-standard wording with a clear note. Drafts only, never sent or signed.

Draft — Brokerage / Commercial Agency Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when asked to draft a brokerage or commercial agency agreement under which a broker or intermediary introduces transactions or customers to a principal in exchange for commission. Covers appointment type, territory, commission structure, non-circumvention, authority limits, and MENA-specific statutory protections under UAE Commercial Agencies Law (FDL 3/2022), KSA Commercial Agencies Law, Lebanon Decree-Law 34/1967, and Egypt Law 120/1982. Critical: if the client wishes to avoid statutory agent protections, structure as a service contract instead.

Draft — Commercial Agency Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when asked to draft a commercial agency agreement appointing an agent to sell goods or services on a principal's behalf, particularly in MENA jurisdictions where statutory agent-protection regimes create significant termination indemnity exposure. Covers agent authority, commission, exclusivity, reporting, IP, termination compensation, and the critical decision of whether to structure as a registered commercial agency or an ordinary services contract.

Draft — Consulting Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when asked to draft a consulting or consultancy agreement engaging an independent contractor (individual or entity) to provide professional services. Covers the critical independent-contractor-vs-employee classification risk, standard clause set (services, compensation, IP assignment, confidentiality, non-compete), and MENA-specific misclassification triggers for Lebanon, KSA, UAE, and DIFC/ADGM. P0 priority — misclassification creates retrospective employment liability, GOSI exposure, and regulatory violations.

Draft nda paperclipai

MITGeneralContracts

Draft a detailed Non-Disclosure Agreement between two parties covering information types, jurisdiction, and clauses needing legal review

Draft — SOW Variants

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting a variant of a standard Statement of Work — specifically a time-and-materials SOW, a fixed-fee SOW, an outcome-based (KPI-tied) SOW, or a hybrid fee structure. Builds on the base SOW framework with variant-specific clauses for fee mechanics, cap provisions, KPI definitions, and mixed-fee allocation. Use alongside the base draft-sow skill; this skill provides the variant-specific additions.

Draft Strict Contract Breach Clauses

MITGeneralContracts

Modifies or drafts contract clauses (e.g., NDA, Non-Defamation, IP) to include specific severe penalties for client breaches, such as immediate termination, no refund, and full liability for damages.

Engagement Letter Drafter

MITGeneralContracts

Drafts a client engagement letter — scope of the retainer, fee arrangement, what is explicitly excluded, and the conflict-of-interest position. Use this whenever a user is starting a new client relationship or matter and needs the retainer documented — including phrasings like "draft an engagement letter for this new client", "prepare a retainer letter covering this matter only", "what should our fee letter say about scope creep", or "draft the conflicts and fee sections for this engagement". Ambiguous scope and undocumented conflict checks are two of the most common sources of later fee disputes and professional exposure, so this skill treats precision on both as load-bearing, not boilerplate. Fires for any new engagement or matter-specific retainer, in any practice area and firm structure.

Escalation flagger

Apache-2.0GeneralContracts

Route a contract issue to the right approver per the escalation matrix in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md`, and draft the ask. Use when the user says "who needs to approve this", "escalate this", "does this need GC sign-off", "route this for approval", or when another skill finds an issue that exceeds the reviewer's authority.

Escalation flagger

Apache-2.0GeneralContracts

根据审查指引中的上报矩阵将合同问题路由至合适的审批人，并起草上报说明。 当用户说"谁需要批准这个""上报这个""这个需要法务负责人签字吗" "路由这个去审批"或当其他技能发现超出审查者权限的问题时使用。

Escrow Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting an escrow agreement for an M&A transaction where a portion of the purchase price is held by an escrow agent to secure the seller's indemnification or other post-closing obligations. Covers escrow amount, term, release conditions, claim procedures, investment instructions, and escrow agent fees. Applicable across MENA (UAE, KSA, DIFC, ADGM, LB, EG) and internationally. Trigger when the SPA requires an escrow arrangement as part of the deal structure.

MITGeneralContracts

Redrafts user-provided text into formal, binding legal language for contracts, policies, or codes of ethics. Specializes in strict breach penalties, liability protection, and compliance standards.

Formation Counsel

MITGeneralContracts

Attorney-facing skill for US and Canadian startup formation work. Use this skill whenever the user is advising founders on entity selection, jurisdiction choice, incorporation mechanics, cap table setup, founder equity and vesting, §83(b) elections, initial securities posture, or cross-border (US-Canada) structuring — even if the user doesn't explicitly say "formation." Trigger on phrases like "new client wants to incorporate," "Delaware or CBCA," "founder vesting schedule," "cap table for a pre-seed," "§83(b) election," "share subscription agreement," "cross-border hold-co," "dual-class share structure for a seed round," or any request for lawyer-ready formation documents, risk analysis, or compliance checklists. Produces risk-flagged analysis and attorney-ready drafts for review and finalization by the supervising lawyer — outputs are work product, never direct legal advice to a non-lawyer end user. Defaults to Delaware C-Corp (US) and federal CBCA (Canada) for VC-track deep tech clients; branches to alternatives only when founder facts warrant.

Franchise Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting a franchise agreement granting a franchisee the right to operate a business under the franchisor's brand, systems, and standards in a defined territory. Covers the full clause structure (territory, fees, training, operations manual, brand use, renewal, termination, non-compete), MENA-specific considerations (commercial agency law traps, UAE Federal Franchise Law, KSA disclosure requirements, halal compliance), EU pre-contractual disclosure obligations, and common pitfalls including inadequate operations manual cross-references.

Franchise Agreement

MITGeneralContracts

Use when drafting a franchise agreement granting a franchisee the right to operate a branded franchise at a specified location. Covers franchise fees, royalties, training requirements, operational standards, territory restrictions, term, renewal rights, and termination provisions. Applicable across MENA (UAE, KSA, LB, EG) and internationally. Critical in UAE and KSA where franchise arrangements can trigger mandatory commercial agency protection laws if not structured carefully. Trigger when a franchisor is entering a new market or when a franchisee needs its rights documented.
