contracts-cognition is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,441 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports reviews of MSAs, DPAs, SOWs, vendor contracts, partner agreements, and contract renegotiations before consulting legal counsel.
Why use it?
It helps turn dense contracts into a practical view of obligations such as service levels, indemnity, audits, and data handling.

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

contracts-cognition 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 7d 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.

When to use

  • A draft MSA / DPA / SOW / vendor contract / partner agreement lands and a non-lawyer needs to read it for what it actually constrains, which clauses carry real risk, and what to redline first.
  • An existing contract is being renegotiated; the question is which clauses are now misshapen given current scale, regulatory regime, or customer mix.
  • A new customer contract triggers obligations (SLA, indemnity, audit, data-handling) that need to be sized against operational capacity before signing.

Do NOT use as a substitute for actual legal counsel (this skill produces the non-lawyer cognition that prepares the conversation with counsel, not the legal opinion), for privacy-specific review (route to privacy-review (P6); this skill composes P6 for data clauses), or for contract management software / e-signature operations.

Cognition cluster

  • Mental model 28 — Inversion. "What would force us to invoke this clause? What would force the counterparty to invoke it?" Inversion surfaces which clauses are dormant boilerplate vs which are loaded triggers. See mental-models.md § 28.
  • Mental model 21 — Second-order thinking. Each clause has a second-order shape: indemnity caps interact with insurance coverage; SLAs interact with operating-cost; auto-renewal interacts with switching cost. Reading clauses in isolation misses the load-bearing combinations. See mental-models.md § 21.
  • Mental model 26 — Optionality. Each clause either preserves or forecloses future choices (terminate-for-convenience preserves; auto-renewal forecloses; exclusivity forecloses; MFN forecloses). The cost of a clause is the optionality it removes. See mental-models.md § 26.
  • Context-spine — regulatory-regime + customer-segment + org-stage. Read regulatory-regime (J1) for floor-bound clauses (GDPR DPA terms, HIPAA BAA, SOC 2 audit). Read customer-segment for risk sizing (enterprise SLA terms ≠ SMB SLA terms). Read org-stage for what's affordable (early-stage = avoid uncapped indemnities; growth = can absorb tighter SLAs).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
