check-against-rules

name: check-against-rules description: Reviews a non-disclosure agreement against the firm's NDA checklist and reports findings with citations. Use when the user attaches an NDA and asks to check or review it.

What this skill does

Reviews a non-disclosure agreement clause by clause against references/checklist.md and reports every failed check, citing the rule and the clause that breaks it.

Input

An NDA attached by the user. If the document is not an NDA, say so and stop. If the governing law is not stated in the document, ask for it before judging the jurisdiction-dependent checks.

Classification

What to flag

The rule set lives in references/checklist.md — one row per check, each with the concrete threshold that turns it into a finding. Only report what a checklist row supports; never flag from memory.

Output

One table, one row per check:

Status is ok, fail, or n/a. "Where" cites the clause or section of the reviewed document. After the table, summarise the failed checks in two or three sentences, worst first.

Output rules

• Cite the checklist code and the document clause for every finding.
• Report what the document says; whether to sign it is the lawyer's call, not the report's.
• If the document is incomplete or illegible, list what is missing instead of guessing.

Reference index

• references/checklist.md — the NDA checklist, one row per check (C1–C8)
• references/jurisdiction/ — statute extracts the checks rely on, one file per act, split by jurisdiction
• references/guidelines/ — regulator and bar-association guidance for borderline calls
• references/case-law/ — decisions, one entry per case

Workflow

1. Confirm the document is an NDA and classify it (mutual or one-way).
2. Work through references/checklist.md top to bottom.
3. For borderline calls, consult references/guidelines/ and references/case-law/.
4. Produce the report in the Output format, then the short summary.
