description: Use when migrating an NDA triage skill originally built for the Anthropic Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal format. The adapter maps legacy NDA intake logic — mutual vs unilateral detection, risk-level scoring, accept/negotiate/reject routing, and expedited-review flags — into the standard skill model. Triggers on import of any Anthropic-native NDA screening or intake workflow.

Import: NDA Triage (Anthropic)

What it does

This import adapter migrates an NDA triage skill originally built for Anthropic's Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal standard format. NDA triage is the front door to an NDA review workflow: before spending legal-team time on a full review, the triage skill rapidly classifies an incoming NDA into one of three operational buckets — accept as-is, negotiate, or reject — and identifies the top risks that drove the classification.

The Anthropic-native triage skill may have been a rapid-fire system prompt, a classification chain, or a structured JSON-output prompt. This adapter normalises the shape and wires it into the Louis skill model.

Triage decision logic (post-import)

NDA RECEIVED
      │
      ▼
Detect NDA type
  → Mutual: both parties disclose
  → Unilateral: only one party discloses (typically our client receives)
  → Hybrid: tiered or partial
      │
      ▼
Score against 5 core criteria (see below)
      │
      ▼
All criteria within standard range?
  Yes → ACCEPT (flag any cosmetic issues; no negotiation needed)
  One or more criteria outside range?
      ↓
  Risk level HIGH? → REJECT (or escalate to senior counsel)
  Risk level MEDIUM? → NEGOTIATE (specific redlines identified)

Core triage criteria (5 checks)

#	Check	Fail condition	Severity
1	Confidential Information scope	Over-broad (captures everything) or under-broad (excludes obvious sensitive items)	MEDIUM
2	Term / duration	Perpetual obligation with no sunset; or unreasonably short (< 2 years for tech deals)	MEDIUM
3	Residuals clause	Present without limitation — receiving party can use anything retained in memory	HIGH
4	One-sided obligations	Purportedly mutual but obligations materially asymmetric	MEDIUM
5	Governing law / jurisdiction	Non-neutral or unenforceable in the relevant operating jurisdiction	HIGH

Triage card output

NDA TRIAGE CARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Type          : Mutual / Unilateral
Counterparty  : [name]
Date received : [date]
Triage result : ACCEPT / NEGOTIATE / REJECT
Risk level    : HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Top flags (max 5):

Recommended next step:
  [Accept with notes / Redline and return / Escalate to senior counsel]

MENA-specific triage notes

• UAE: government contracts may require Arabic as the official language of the NDA; flag if the document is English-only.
• KSA: side letters or addenda may be required to address Shariah-compliance concerns around penalty provisions.
• DIFC / ADGM: check that the DIFC/ADGM governing-law clause is actually valid — parties must have a legitimate connection to the jurisdiction.
• Lebanon: economic instability means USD payment obligations and FX-related provisions in any NDA with financial terms warrant extra scrutiny.

Failure modes

Error	Likely cause	Resolution
type_not_detected	No mutual/unilateral marker in source	Default to mutual; flag for manual confirmation
criteria_not_mapped	Legacy used different check names	Auto-map to nearest of 5 standard criteria
triage_card_not_generated	Legacy output was free-form	Wrap in triage card template post-import
expedited_never_triggered	Legacy had no expedite logic	Apply HIGH-risk escalation rule
