Redline Summary

Redline Summary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zgbrenner/agentcounsel. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,431 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured comparison of changes between contract versions, tracked edits, or a contract and its amendments. A redline is a document showing proposed changes to an earlier version.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps produce a change-by-change table and narrative covering what changed, which party it may favor, whether it appears material, and where an attorney may need to negotiate.
Why use it?
It makes substantive edits easier to review while limiting the summary to changes actually present in the documents.

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

Redline Summary 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 9d 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.

Redline Summary

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready summary of the substantive edits between two versions of a contract, or within a single document containing tracked changes, or across a base agreement and a series of amendments. For each change, this skill identifies what was modified, which party the change favors, whether the change is material, and whether it warrants pushback or further negotiation. When an amendment chain is provided, the skill also establishes the chronological order of the documents and traces how the agreement has evolved across the entire chain. It produces draft legal work product for attorney review only. It is not legal advice and does not constitute a final negotiating position.

The core discipline of this skill: report only edits that are actually present in the provided documents. Do not invent, interpolate, or assume changes that are not visible in the text. Do not characterize a change as "standard" or "acceptable" without flagging that characterization for attorney confirmation.

Use When

  • A counterparty has returned a redlined draft and the user needs a structured summary of what changed.
  • The user asks to "summarize the redlines," "what did they change," "walk me through the markups," or "what should I push back on."
  • The user has two versions of a contract (clean or tracked) and needs to understand what is different between them.
  • Negotiations have progressed through multiple rounds and the user needs a record of which issues have moved and which remain open.
  • An in-house team needs a quick summary of outside counsel redlines before a negotiation call.
  • The user wants to compare a counterparty's proposed edits against the client's original draft to assess concession patterns.
  • The user has a base agreement plus one or more amendments and needs to understand how the contract has evolved across the full amendment history.
  • The user needs to trace a specific provision through multiple amendments to determine its current controlling language.

Changes

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.
