# Extract Key Terms Land Option Agreement Solar > Guides extraction of key terms from a solar project land option agreement by cross-referencing title and access encumbrances, comparing each term against relevant diligence standards, and flagging ambiguities in escalation mechanics and casualty provisions that create long-term risk. - Skill: `finchipaiorg/extract-key-terms-land-option-agreement-solar` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add finchipaiorg/extract-key-terms-land-option-agreement-solar` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/finchipaiorg/extract-key-terms-land-option-agreement-solar/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: FinchipAIOrg (https://skillmd.com/u/finchipaiorg) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/finchipaiorg/extract-key-terms-land-option-agreement-solar --- # Skill: Extract Key Terms from Land Option Agreement — Term Sheet Summary for Solar Project ## 1. Subject-matter triage - Treat the task as a due-diligence extraction and issue-spotting exercise, not a drafting rewrite. - If multiple parcels, tracts, amendments, exhibits, title reports, surveys, or access materials are provided, enumerate them first and analyze each parcel or document set separately before synthesizing the term sheet. - If only one parcel or one controlling agreement is in scope, state that explicitly and avoid implying broader coverage. - Prioritize the operative agreement over summaries, drafts, emails, or redlines, but reconcile them when they change payment, exercise, access, or risk terms. ## 2. Failure modes the skill is correcting - Baseline extracts the headline economics but misses whether escalation operates on a simple or compounded basis, creating a hidden divergence in long-term payment burden. - Baseline reports an option limit or request frequency without checking whether related diligence materials require more frequent access to certificates, notices, or confirmations. - Baseline summarizes access rights without tying them to title exceptions, easements, or restriction language that may limit construction or operations. - Baseline states casualty or termination language without identifying the valuation standard that controls the threshold trigger. - Baseline omits the legal mechanics that make a revocable use right convert into a durable real-property interest against third parties. - Baseline lists assignment freedom without testing whether the transferee definition effectively preserves or eliminates consent control. - Baseline gives a narrative summary but does not separate contract terms from diligence issues and recommended fixes. ## 3. Legal frameworks / domain conventions that apply - Option-to-lease structure: identify the option grant, the exercise trigger, the resulting lease or easement package, and any conditions precedent to conversion; distinguish rights that are immediately binding from rights that arise only upon exercise. - Title and survey diligence: cross-check the property description, access routes, exceptions, restrictions, recorded encumbrances, and any conservation or use limitations against the development footprint and any area-based economics. - Escalation mechanics: a stated annual increase must be read for whether the increase applies to the original base amount or the prior period amount; flag ambiguity where the agreement does not say. - Real property enforceability: if the agreement contemplates a license converting into an easement or other recorded interest, the term sheet should note whether recording, notice, and execution mechanics are sufficiently clear to bind successors. - Casualty and insurance alignment: casualty termination or repair rights should be summarized together with the measure of loss, the trigger threshold, and the insurance regime that is expected to fund repairs or replacement. - Assignment and transfer controls: define whether assignment is prohibited, consent-based, or freely permitted to specified transferees; note whether affiliate, financing, or project sale transfers are carved out. - Estoppel and diligence instruments: summarize any right to request certificates, confirmations, or acknowledgments and compare the request cadence to the practical needs of financing, sale, or refinancing. - Use the governing law, recording, and property-law concepts stated in the agreement or, if absent, the standard real-property rules applicable to the jurisdiction; do not state legal conclusions without tying them to the controlling rule. ## 4. Analytical scaffolds - For each key provision, extract the operative term, then restate it in commercial terms, then identify the linked diligence question, then flag any ambiguity, market deviation, or enforcement risk. - For each issue, include four elements: the provision at issue, the reason it matters, the interacting document or clause, and the downstream economic, operational, or transaction risk. - For each parcel or tract, map title exceptions and access restrictions to development use, construction logistics, operation, and decommissioning assumptions. - For each payment term, identify the payment type, trigger, timing, adjustment mechanism, and any missing math convention that could change the result over time. - For each conversion mechanic, identify the acts required, the moment rights become vested or irrevocable, and any recording or notice step needed to protect priority. - For each transfer or consent term, identify the default rule, any exceptions, and whether the defined permitted transferees are broad enough to defeat the apparent control right. - If a document set contains competing drafts or amendment history, note the latest controlling text and mention any material divergence that affects the summary. ## 5. Vertical / structural / temporal relationships - Sequence the summary from parties and property through economics, term, exercise, access, transfer, casualty, default, and closing mechanics so the reader can follow the rights as they mature. - Distinguish present rights from contingent rights: option period, pre-exercise access, post-exercise lease or easement rights, and any survival obligations. - Identify timing anchors for payment dates, notice windows, exercise deadlines, cure periods, reimbursement timing, and any conversion or recording deadlines. - Where rights or obligations depend on another document, cross-reference the specific exhibit, title item, survey note, or diligence report that controls the relationship. - If a term depends on acreage, boundary, or improvement value, state the operative reference point and note whether the agreement defines it clearly enough to avoid a later dispute. ## 6. Output structure conventions - Produce a structured term sheet summary in conventional deal-summary form, using headings such as: transaction overview, property, option and exercise, consideration, access and use rights, title and survey matters, transfer and assignment, casualty and insurance, default and remedies, and closing or recording mechanics. - Include a separate issues and risks section at the end. - Use a uniform severity scale for issues and define it once at the start of the issues section. - For each issue, state: severity, issue, why it matters, related provision or document, and recommended action. - Make the issues section action-oriented: each recommendation should use an imperative verb, identify the responsible party or role if the source materials identify one, and tie the timing to a contractual deadline, financing milestone, closing step, or other practical urgency. - Where the agreement or source materials identify controlling legal authority, cite it by name and section or other controlling citation in the relevant summary or issue entry. - Keep the term sheet concise but complete; do not reproduce entire clauses, and do not quote source text except where exact wording is necessary to surface a material term. - If multiple parcels, counterparties, or timing tracks are in play, present them in a numbered or table-like sequence rather than folding them into one blended description.
