Contracts

Use to organize, track, and analyze contracts, client service agreements, NDAs, subscriptions, leases, with key-term extraction, renewal/termination alerts (90/60/30-day), clause lookups, and version/signature tracking. Trigger when the user shares or asks about a contract, needs to know a notice or cancellation period, wants to find contracts expiring soon, or is tracking signature status. Surfaces and organizes contract facts; does not give legal advice; it points the user to a lawyer for interpretation.From its SKILL.md

Contract tracking

Keep every contract in one place, pull out the terms that matter, and warn the user before deadlines bite. Scales from a handful of personal subscriptions to a freelancer's client agreements to a larger contract library.

Hard boundary: this skill handles facts and dates, not legal judgment. It never interprets clauses, rates a contract as safe/risky, or advises whether to sign; it points the user to a lawyer for that. See references/security.md.

Signature states move draft → pending-them → pending-us → executed.

If the clients skill is also installed, this is still the canonical home for the executed file and its metadata — store it at ~/contracts/{name}/, and just link to it (don't copy it) from that client's documents/ folder.

What it does

Extract key terms: parties, dates, amounts, notice periods, auto-renewal.
Track deadlines: renewals, termination windows, milestone payments.
Alert ahead of time: 90/60/30-day warnings (see references/alerts.md).
Answer clause lookups: "what's my cancellation notice on X?"
Search across contracts: "everything expiring this quarter."
Track versions: link amendments to the parent contract.
Aggregate cost: total spend across subscriptions and vendors.

When a contract arrives

Create ~/contracts/{name}/ and save the file.
Extract into meta.md: parties, effective date, term, value, renewal terms, notice period (pattern in references/analysis.md).
Add it to index.md.
Set the deadline alerts per references/alerts.md.
