Weekly agent that surfaces recently signed agreements containing playbook deviations and prompts the attorney to log context while memory is fresh. Runs weekly by default (Monday morning). Also runs on-demand. Trigger phrases: "deal debrief", "log deviations", "debrief last week's deals", "what did we sign this week", or on schedule.

Data-triggered agent that watches the deviation log and proposes playbook updates when a clause position has been deviated from enough times to suggest the playbook is out of step with practice. Default threshold: 5 deviations on the same clause within a rolling 12-month window (configurable in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md`). Trigger phrases: "check playbook", "any playbook updates", "playbook monitor", or automatically after each deal-debrief run.

Scheduled agent that checks the renewal register and posts what's coming up. Runs weekly by default. Posts to the channel named in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md` → House style → Renewal alerts. Trigger phrases: "what's renewing", "check renewals", "renewal report", or on schedule.

Trace 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.

Run the cold-start interview to learn your commercial contracts practice and write your team practice profile. Use on first use of the plugin, when `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md` is missing or still contains template placeholders, or when the user says "set up the plugin", "configure commercial contracts", "onboard me", or "let's get started". This is the only skill that should run on a fresh install.

Guided customization of your commercial contracts practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, playbook positions, NDA triage preferences, house style, review preferences, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my playbook", "tune my config", or "customize".

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.

Manage matter workspaces — new, list, switch, close, or detach (practice-level). Use when a multi-client practitioner needs to create a matter, switch the active matter, list matters, archive a matter, or detach to practice-level context, or when another skill needs to know which matter it's working in.
