claude-legal-skill
AI contract review skill with CUAD risk detection and redlines.
CUAD risk detection, market benchmarks, and lawyer-ready redlines inside your coding workflow.
This is an agent skill for AI coding tools that analyzes contracts using the CUAD dataset and position-aware logic. It suits developers and legal professionals who want to review agreements directly inside tools like Claude Code or Cursor.
What it is
It parses contracts to output severity-rated risk assessments, key terms tables, market benchmarks, and specific redline language. It also handles missing provisions and internal consistency checks across NDAs, SaaS agreements, and M&A documents.
Who it's for
It suits developers, legal professionals, and technical founders who work with contracts inside AI coding assistants. It does not suit non-technical users who require a standalone graphical software application without command line tools.
