What it does

This skill lets an agent walk a lawyer through proposed changes to their contract playbook, the standing rules the agent uses when reviewing commercial agreements. A separate monitor agent suggests changes when it notices repeated deviations from the playbook. This skill presents each proposal one at a time with options to accept, reject, edit, or defer. Accepted changes are shown as an exact diff and written to the practice profile file only after the user explicitly confirms. It then summarises the changes and archives the proposals file.

Great for

  • Attorneys or in-house legal teams using the claude-for-legal commercial plugin who maintain a contract playbook
  • Lawyers who want a human checkpoint before any automated change to their stored review rules
  • Developers studying how a human-in-the-loop approval workflow can be written as a skill

Skip it if

  • Users without the playbook-monitor agent set up, since there will be no proposals to review (the skill just reports that nothing is pending)
  • Anyone expecting unreviewed automatic edits: the skill is designed to require confirmation, but the reviewer must still read each diff carefully, because approved changes alter future legal review behaviour

Try asking

  • “review playbook proposals”
  • “what playbook updates are pending?”
  • “/commercial-legal:review-proposals”

Get better results

  • Read each diff before confirming an Accept or Edit, since the change alters how future contracts are reviewed.
  • Use Defer for proposals you are unsure about rather than accepting them to clear the queue.
  • Keep a copy of the CLAUDE.md practice profile in version control so changes can be reverted.
