msa-snapshot

msa-snapshot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LegalQuants/lq-ai. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,503 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A comparison table for multiple master services agreements (MSAs), which are contracts that set the general terms for ongoing business services. It compares important commercial terms across the agreements and cites each answer to its source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare contract length and renewal, payment terms, liability limits, and indemnification across vendor or acquisition-related MSAs.
Why use it?
It removes the need to read several contracts separately when you need to see where their business terms differ. Missing information is marked as not found instead of being guessed.

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

msa-snapshot 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 13d 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.

MSA Snapshot

A reference skill for the M3-C output_format: table mode, tuned for master services agreement portfolios. Produces a side-by-side grid of MSA-specific commercial terms across N agreements — the in-house lawyer's "compare these vendor MSAs" or "diligence these target MSAs" workflow. Each cell carries a citation back to the source document; failed extractions render as not found rather than confidently-wrong text.

When this skill applies

Apply when the user has a portfolio of MSAs and wants to see how key commercial terms compare across them. Examples:

  • "Pull liability caps, indemnification, and payment terms across these 8 vendor MSAs before our renewal cycle."
  • "For this acquisition diligence, show me the renewal trigger and termination posture across the target's top 15 MSAs."
  • "Compare the liability carveouts across our SaaS MSAs vs. our commercial-purchase MSAs."

Do not apply this skill to:

  • Single-MSA review — use msa-review-saas or msa-review-commercial-purchase for one document at a time.
  • General contract comparison across mixed types — use contract-snapshot for the general Term/Survival/Carveouts/Governing-Law grid.
  • NDA portfolios — use nda-snapshot for NDA-specific columns (Confidential Information definition, permitted recipients, etc.).

Pairing with the synthetic corpus

This skill ships paired with the synthetic MSA corpus in docs/quickstart/sample-msas/ (5 MSAs with varying commercial terms). Operators trying LQ.AI for the first time can attach those 5 PDFs to a Knowledge Base and run this skill to see the tabular workflow end-to-end without committing real documents to the system.

Fork-and-tune notes

The four columns here cover the highest-frequency MSA comparison questions for in-house counsel doing portfolio review or diligence. They do not overlap with the general contract-snapshot columns (Term, Survival, Carveouts, Governing Law) — operators wanting both can run the two skills in sequence.

When forking for your own MSA template / counterparty patterns, common modifications include:
