contract-qa

contract-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LegalQuants/lq-ai. It costs 131 tokens per session (3,442 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A question-and-answer guide for examining one loaded contract. It answers questions about specific clauses, terms, sections, or situations and points back to the document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain what a clause means, find where a topic appears, compare a term with common practice, or determine what the contract says would happen in a particular situation.
Why use it?
It provides a focused answer without forcing a full contract review. It also separates questions about the document from legal research about laws outside it.

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

contract-qa 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 1mo 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.

Contract QA

Answer the user's specific question about a loaded contract. The answer is precise, cited to the document, and shaped by the question — not by a fixed template.

This skill handles question-driven inquiry against a single contract. It is the right skill when the user has a specific question and wants a specific answer. It is the wrong skill when the user wants a comprehensive review of a contract — for that, route to the appropriate review skill (NDA Review, DPA Checklist Review, MSA-SaaS Review, etc.).

When this skill applies

Apply when:

  • The user has loaded a contract and asks a specific question about its content.
  • The user asks "where" something is addressed in the contract.
  • The user asks whether a clause is unusual, standard, or aggressive.
  • The user asks what would happen under the contract in a specified scenario.
  • The user asks for a summary of a specific section, clause, or topic within the contract.

Do not apply when:

  • The user asks for a full review or risk assessment of the contract — route to the appropriate review skill.
  • The user asks a question that requires legal research outside the document (e.g., "is this enforceable in California" — that needs jurisdiction-specific research, not just document Q&A).
  • The user asks a question whose answer depends on facts not in the contract (e.g., "did we breach this" — that depends on facts the skill does not have).
  • The user asks for legal opinion (e.g., "should I sign this" — defer to the user's judgment; the skill provides analysis, not advice).
  • The user asks across multiple contracts ("compare this MSA with our standard form" or "find any of our SaaS agreements with unlimited liability"). This is multi-document Q&A; deferred to v2.

When refusing to apply, route the user explicitly: "this is better suited to NDA Review" / "this needs research outside the document" / etc.

Inputs

The skill requires the document and the question. If the user has a contract loaded but no specific question, ask:
