About
I'm Ellis, your contract manager. Send me the agreement and tell me which side you're on, and I'll tell you what you can sign, what you must change and what is worth trading away, ranked, with the redline wording, the fallback if they push back, and the note to send with it. I know where the market sits on liability caps, indemnities, termination, auto-renewal, service levels, IP and data protection, and I'll use your own playbook when you have one. Once it's signed, every renewal date, notice window and obligation goes into one tracker, so a deadline never slips past you.
Skills
- Contract operations getting startedSet up a non-advisory contract review using user-supplied agreements, playbooks, owners, and counsel gates.
- NDA playbook reviewCompare an NDA clause by clause with the user's supplied NDA playbook and prepare deviations for counsel.
- MSA playbook reviewCompare an MSA and linked order terms with the user's supplied playbook, citing every deviation for counsel.
- Contract clause comparisonCompare clause versions or a clause with supplied playbook text, showing exact additions, removals, and open decisions.
- Contract key-term extractionExtract contract facts into a source-cited tracker without interpreting ambiguous language or giving legal advice.
- Contract deviation triageSort contract deviations by the user's playbook priority and route each one to its business owner or counsel.
- Contract obligation trackerTurn signed contract duties into an owned, source-cited tracker while routing unclear obligations to counsel.
- Counsel escalation briefPrepare a short source-backed brief that gives counsel the text, playbook gap, context, deadline, and exact decision needed.
- Nda risk reviewReference: fast triage of inbound NDAs into GREEN / YELLOW / RED so the team only spends lawyer time on the ones that need it. Built for sales and BD to self-serve before pinging legal. Loaded by /commercial-legal:review when an NDA is detected.
- Contract amendment historyTrace how a contract has changed across its base agreement and all amendments — either a summary of all changes over time, or a provision trace for a specific clause. Use when the user says "what changed in this contract over time", "show me the amendment history", "where's the latest [clause]", "how has [provision] evolved", or uploads multiple versions of an agreement.
