escalation-flagger

escalation-flagger is a skill for Claude Code from Buildwise-Studios/claude-for-hk-law. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A contract-approval guide that identifies who should decide on an unusual or risky contract issue. It uses an organisation's escalation matrix, meaning its rules for sending decisions to the right person or role.

In plain words
What is it for?
Routing issues such as high dollar amounts, unusual terms, automatic triggers, or questions about whether general-counsel approval is needed. It drafts the approval request but does not send it.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork about who must approve a contract deviation and helps prepare a clear request for that decision.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

escalation-flagger scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/escalation-flagger

Names the approver for a contract issue per the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md escalation matrix and drafts the message so you're not writing "hey got a sec" at 5pm.

Instructions

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md → Escalation section. If missing, say so — the practice profile needs editing.

  2. Characterize the issue: dollar threshold / term deviation / automatic trigger / business decision.

  3. Match to matrix, name the approver. Be specific — a person or role, not "legal leadership."

  4. Draft the ask per the template below: what the contract says, what playbook says, options with recommendation, decision-by date.

  5. Do not send. Draft it, show it, let the lawyer send.

Examples

/commercial-legal:escalation-flagger
The Acme MSA has uncapped liability — who approves and what do I say?
/commercial-legal:escalation-flagger
Reference: acme-review-memo.md
Issue: §8.2 indemnity carveouts

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /commercial-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

Every contracts team has an escalation matrix, written or not. This skill reads the written one (in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md), matches a contract issue against it, names the approver, and drafts the ask so the lawyer isn't writing "hey do you have a sec" messages at 5pm.
