Contract Review with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for contract review in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Legal operations teams
The problem
Legal operations teams need contract review to run repeatedly against contracts, redlines, exhibits, and policy memos. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach contracts, redlines, exhibits, and policy memos per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For contract review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run contract review using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "contract_review".
Run this on Argo
