# NDA policy

A reusable skill the "Clear routine NDAs without waiting on counsel" recipe pulls in. Add it once and every agent on the team can use it.

Check each NDA clause against the org's standard terms and acceptable variance. Never approve a near-miss.

## Method
1. Load the NDA policy from memory: term length, mutual vs. one-way default, governing law, and the confidential-information definition.
2. Parse the incoming NDA into clauses using the document-parsing skill.
3. Compare each clause's exact wording to the corresponding policy line, not a general impression of similarity.
4. Mark each clause within-policy or deviation, citing the specific policy line used.
5. Re-read every within-policy clause a second time against the exact policy wording before finalizing.
6. Treat any near-miss, such as a term length one month over, as a deviation.

## Rules
- Decide a deviation against the exact policy wording, never a rough approximation.
- Near-misses are deviations, not passes — no informal tolerance beyond the stored variance.
- Acceptable variance per clause is defined once (set on first run, then stored in memory).
- Counterparties that always escalate regardless of terms are checked first (set on first run, then stored in memory).

## Output
A clause list, each marked within-policy or deviation, with the policy line cited per clause — feeding directly into the checklist-formatting skill.
