Never miss an obligation in a signed contract

Extract every obligation from signed contracts with two independent passes, then track deadlines automatically.

Legaladvanced

What this does

  • Runs two independent sub-agents to extract every obligation from a signed contract
  • Reconciles both passes and re-reads any obligation they disagree on
  • Publishes every obligation to the tracker with its owner, deadline, and source clause
  • Schedules deadline reminders automatically so nothing gets missed after signature

Workflow

  1. Trigger

    New signed contract, or weekly sweep

    Added to the executed-contracts folder, or the Monday catch-all.

  2. Shell

    Parse the document

    Extract text from the signed docx or PDF with the document skill.

  3. Prompt

    Dual-pass extraction

    Two independent sub-agents each extract every obligation, dates, and owner.

  4. Prompt

    Reconcile the passes

    Compare both extractions; anything only one pass found gets a third look.

  5. Result

    Publish to the tracker

    Obligations land in the tracker view, deadline reminders scheduled per obligation.
