Redline the MSA before it hits your desk

Draft tracked-changes redlines against your playbook, adversarially reviewed clause by clause before you see it.

Legaladvanced

What this does

  • Parses the incoming MSA and classifies every clause against your playbook
  • Drafts tracked-changes redlines for every clause that deviates from your fallback position
  • Runs a second sub-agent that tries to refute every redline before it ships
  • Flags unrecognized clause types instead of guessing, and delivers only checked edits

Workflow

  1. Trigger

    New MSA lands in Drive

    Counterparty draft dropped in the contracts-inbox folder.

  2. Shell

    Parse the docx

    Extract clause text and structure with the docx skill.

  3. Prompt

    Redline against the playbook

    Classify each clause and apply the fallback position as tracked changes.

  4. Prompt

    Adversarial review

    A second sub-agent checks every redline and flags what it can't confirm.

  5. Result

    Deliver the tracked-changes docx

    Saved to Drive, summary and open flags posted to Slack for sign-off.
