A quick screening workflow for a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), a contract that limits sharing confidential information. It classifies the agreement as standard approval, counsel review, or full legal review using screening criteria.

Use it to screen pasted, uploaded, or linked NDAs and decide whether they can follow a standard path or require legal attention.

It helps route incoming NDAs consistently and spot terms such as non-competes, non-solicits, or missing exceptions that may need closer review.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00079	$0.03116
Opus 5.5	$0.00032	$0.01246
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00623

Security

Grade A, and why

triage-nda 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.

Triage the NDA: @$1

Rapidly triage incoming NDAs against standard screening criteria. Classify the NDA for routing: standard approval, counsel review, or full legal review.

Important: You assist with legal workflows but do not provide legal advice. All analysis should be reviewed by qualified legal professionals before being relied upon.

Invocation

/triage-nda

Workflow

Step 1: Accept the NDA

Accept the NDA in any format:

File upload: PDF, DOCX, or other document format
URL: Link to the NDA in a document system
Pasted text: NDA text pasted directly

If no NDA is provided, prompt the user to supply one.

Step 2: Load NDA Playbook

Look for NDA screening criteria in local settings (e.g., legal.local.md).

The NDA playbook should define:

Mutual vs. unilateral requirements
Acceptable term lengths
Required carveouts
Prohibited provisions
Organization-specific requirements

If no NDA playbook is configured:

Proceed with reasonable market-standard defaults
Note clearly that defaults are being used
Defaults applied:
- Mutual obligations required (unless the organization is only disclosing)
- Term: 2-3 years standard, up to 5 years for trade secrets
- Standard carveouts required: independently developed, publicly available, rightfully received from third party, required by law
- No non-solicitation or non-compete provisions
- No residuals clause (or narrowly scoped if present)
- Governing law in a reasonable commercial jurisdiction

Step 3: Quick Screen

Evaluate the NDA against each screening criterion systematically.

1. Agreement Structure

Type identified: Mutual NDA, Unilateral (disclosing party), or Unilateral (receiving party)
Appropriate for context: Is the NDA type appropriate for the business relationship? (e.g., mutual for exploratory discussions, unilateral for one-way disclosures)
Standalone agreement: Confirm the NDA is a standalone agreement, not a confidentiality section embedded in a larger commercial agreement

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.
