How to Set Up a Contract Review Playbook with Eigent

How it works

1. Open a new Eigent session and call /review-contract to tell the skill you are configuring a review context, not submitting a contract for immediate analysis.
2. State your position and non-negotiables in plain English — your role in the contract, each deal-breaker on its own line, and specific numbers rather than vague terms like "reasonable."
3. Add document-type defaults if your position differs by contract type (NDA, MSA, DPA) — this prevents the skill from applying vendor logic to an NDA.
4. Read the playbook summary Eigent echoes back and confirm everything is correct before running any reviews.
5. Save the playbook text to a file so you can paste it at the start of future sessions — playbook state does not persist across sessions by default.

More prompts to try

• Update the liability cap threshold to 3× annual fees and confirm the playbook.
• Add a new default for AI vendor agreements: flag any clause granting training rights on our data.
• For the DPA defaults, also require a 72-hour breach notification clause — add that and echo the updated playbook.
• Show me a summary of what my playbook currently covers before I run the next review.

How to use

Run the setup once per session before any contract review. Keep your playbook text in a file and paste it with /review-contract at the start of each session. Use specific thresholds — "minimum 2× annual fees paid" rather than "reasonable liability cap" — because vague terms produce vague flags. After any update, read the echoed summary carefully: minor wording changes can shift how the skill interprets a non-negotiable. Your legal team should validate the stated terms are enforceable in your jurisdiction before relying on them for material agreements.

Expected output

A structured playbook confirmation listing your role, each non-negotiable with its severity level (blocker or flag), any document-type defaults, and the governing law preference if stated.

Limitations

• Playbook state is session-scoped — it does not persist automatically between Eigent sessions. Save it to a file and reload it each time.
• The skill applies your stated terms consistently, but the quality of flagging depends on the specificity of your wording. Vague non-negotiables produce vague results.
• Playbook design is a legal judgment call — have qualified counsel validate your terms before relying on them for material agreements.
