name: import-contract-review-anthropic
description: Use when migrating a contract-review skill or workflow originally built for Anthropic's Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal skill format. This import adapter maps the legacy Anthropic contract-review data shape — prompt templates, clause flags, risk buckets, and output schemas — into the standard skill model. Triggers on any import of Anthropic-native contract analysis configurations.

Import: Contract Review (Anthropic)

What it does

This import adapter migrates a contract-review skill originally authored for Anthropic's Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal standard SKILL.md format. The legacy skill may have been built as a raw system-prompt file, a JSON config blob, a claude.ai Projects instruction, or a structured prompt-pack; this adapter normalises all of those shapes into a deployable skill entry.

The resulting skill enables Claude to systematically review commercial contracts — identifying missing clauses, anomalous terms, risk exposure, and jurisdiction-specific traps — while preserving all prompt logic from the original Anthropic-native implementation.

Import config

Field	Source mapping	Default if absent
skill_id	Legacy id or filename stem	review-contract-anthropic
prompt_template	Legacy system prompt text	Extract from file body
risk_buckets	Legacy risk categories array	HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
clause_flags	Legacy clause checklist	Standard 12-clause set (see below)
output_schema	Legacy response format	Structured markdown table
jurisdiction	Legacy jurisdiction or locale field	__multi__
language	Legacy lang field	en
model_hint	Legacy model field	claude-sonnet-4-5

Dry-run preview

Before committing the import, the adapter emits a preview block:

IMPORT PREVIEW — contract-review-anthropic
Source shape : Anthropic system-prompt JSON
Target skill : review-contract-anthropic
Clause flags : 12 detected (termination, indemnity, liability cap, IP assignment,
               governing law, dispute resolution, confidentiality, payment terms,
               warranties, force majeure, assignment, data protection)
Risk buckets : HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
Output schema: markdown table
Jurisdictions: __multi__ (no jurisdiction lock detected in source)

The user must confirm before the skill is written to disk.

Standard clause checklist (default)

When the legacy config did not specify a clause list, the import seeds these 12 standard clauses for contract review:

1. Termination — grounds, notice period, consequences
2. Indemnification — scope, caps, carve-outs
3. Liability cap — amount, exclusions (gross negligence, fraud)
4. IP assignment / licensing — ownership, work-for-hire, licence grant
5. Governing law & jurisdiction — choice of law, seat of arbitration
6. Dispute resolution — arbitration vs litigation, escalation ladder
7. Confidentiality / NDA — scope, duration, permitted disclosures
8. Payment terms — currency, timing, late-payment interest
9. Warranties & representations — scope, survival period
10. Force majeure — definition, notice, relief, termination trigger
11. Assignment & change of control — consent requirements
12. Data protection — DPA obligations, sub-processing, breach notification

Jurisdictional notes

MENA-specific traps surfaced during review after import:

• UAE / KSA onshore: civil-code jurisdictions; liquidated-damages clauses (penalty clauses) must not be unconscionably disproportionate or courts may reduce them. Verify Arabic language requirement for government contracts.
• DIFC / ADGM: common-law; DIFC Contract Law and ADGM Contract Regulations apply. Penalty clauses enforceable if genuine pre-estimate of loss.
• Lebanon: French-inspired civil law; Articles 221–230 Code des Obligations et des Contrats govern damages; force majeure construction differs from Anglo-American standard.
• Egypt: Civil Code (Law 131/1948); courts routinely re-examine penalty clauses.
• France: GDPR + French data-protection overlay; specific consumer-protection rules if B2C.

Failure modes

Error	Likely cause	Resolution
schema_mismatch	Legacy output format uses XML or HTML	Map via output_schema: markdown override
clause_list_empty	Source used implicit checks, no list	Apply default 12-clause set
jurisdiction_conflict	Source locks to US; target is MENA	Override with jurisdictions: [__multi__]
prompt_too_long	Legacy prompt exceeds context on import	Split into system + user template parts
