Knuckles-Team Contract Review Workflow
CONCEPT:KG-2.12 — Company Operations Domain
Automated contract analysis pipeline: parse → extract clauses → check precedent → validate compliance → generate report with recommendations.
Steps
Step 0: Parse Contract Document
Agent: document-parser
Tools: document_tools
Parse contract PDF/DOCX. Extract full text with structural markup. Identify section headings, numbered clauses, definitions, and exhibits.
Step 1: Extract Clauses & Identify Risks
Agent: clause-extractor
Tools: graph_analyze
Extract and classify clauses against ontology_legal.ttl:ContractClause:
- Indemnification clauses
- Limitation of liability
- Non-compete / non-solicitation
- Intellectual property assignment
- Confidentiality / NDA provisions
- Termination conditions
- Governing law / jurisdiction
- Force majeure
- Auto-renewal provisions
- Data protection / privacy
Risk scoring: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW per clause.
Step 2: Check Precedent
Agent: legal-research-agent
Tools: graph_query, sx_search
Query KG for:
- Similar contracts previously reviewed
- Relevant case law via CaseLaw nodes
- Applicable statutes via governedByStatute edges
- Industry-standard clause language
Step 3: Compliance Validation
Agent: compliance-checker
Tools: graph_query
Validate against applicable law:
- State contract law requirements
- Industry-specific regulations
- Company governance requirements (from CorporateGovernanceDoc)
- IP assignment compliance with employment agreements
Step 4: Generate Review Report
Agent: report-generator
Tools: graph_write, document_tools
Generate structured review:
- Executive summary with overall risk score
- Clause-by-clause analysis with risk ratings
- Recommended modifications (redline suggestions)
- Precedent citations
- Compliance checklist
Persist to KG: Contract node with hasClause edges to extracted clauses.
Output
- Contract review report (PDF/MD)
- Risk score (0.0–1.0)
- Clause-by-clause analysis with risk ratings
- Contract and ContractClause nodes in KG
Human Oversight Required
✅ All contract modifications and approvals require human review.
Execution
Run this workflow as a dependency-ordered DAG. Steps with no unmet depends_on run in parallel; dependents run after their prerequisites complete.
- Run first (in parallel): Step 0 — Parse Contract Document; Step 1 — Extract Clauses & Identify Risks; Step 2 — Check Precedent; Step 3 — Compliance Validation; Step 4 — Generate Review Report
Execution: If graph-os is reachable, offload the whole DAG via graph_orchestrate action=execute_workflow (or the kg-delegate skill) for true parallel/swarm execution. Otherwise execute the steps natively in dependency order: run steps with no unmet depends_on in parallel, then their dependents.
