Use when the user has a contract loaded and asks a specific question about it — what a clause means, where something is addressed, whether a term is unusual, how a provision compares to standard practice, or what would happen in a specified scenario under the contract. Produces an answer calibrated to the question's shape (direct answer for fact lookups, paragraph with context for "is this unusual" questions, structured findings for multi-issue questions), with verbatim citations to specific…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add legalquants/lq-ai/contract-qa@sha256:9a7fa2522bfb83ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.eadedbb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
