sboghossian Import: NDA Triage (Anthropic)
What it does
This import adapter migrates an NDA triage skill originally built for Anthropic's Claude API into the mini-claude-for-legal standard format. NDA triage is the front door to an NDA review workflow: before spending legal-team time on a full review, the triage skill rapidly classifies an incoming NDA into one of three operational buckets — accept as-is, negotiate, or reject — and identifies the top risks that drove the classification.
The Anthropic-native triage skill may have been a rapid-fire system prompt, a classification chain, or a structured JSON-output prompt. This adapter normalises the shape and wires it into the Louis skill model.

Triage decision logic (post-import)
NDA RECEIVED
│
▼
Detect NDA type
→ Mutual: both parties disclose
→ Unilateral: only one party discloses (typically our client receives)
→ Hybrid: tiered or partial
│
▼
Score against 5 core criteria (see below)
│
▼
All criteria within standard range?
Yes → ACCEPT (flag any cosmetic issues; no negotiation needed)
One or more criteria outside range?
↓
Risk level HIGH? → REJECT (or escalate to senior counsel)
Risk level MEDIUM? → NEGOTIATE (specific redlines identified)
Core triage criteria (5 checks)
| # | Check | Fail condition | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Confidential Information scope | Over-broad (captures everything) or under-broad (excludes obvious sensitive items) | MEDIUM |
| 2 | Term / duration | Perpetual obligation with no sunset; or unreasonably short (< 2 years for tech deals) | MEDIUM |
| 3 | Residuals clause | Present without limitation — receiving party can use anything retained in memory | HIGH |
| 4 | One-sided obligations | Purportedly mutual but obligations materially asymmetric | MEDIUM |
| 5 | Governing law / jurisdiction | Non-neutral or unenforceable in the relevant operating jurisdiction | HIGH |

MENA-specific triage notes
- UAE: government contracts may require Arabic as the official language of the NDA; flag if the document is English-only.
- KSA: side letters or addenda may be required to address Shariah-compliance concerns around penalty provisions.
- DIFC / ADGM: check that the DIFC/ADGM governing-law clause is actually valid — parties must have a legitimate connection to the jurisdiction.
- Lebanon: economic instability means USD payment obligations and FX-related provisions in any NDA with financial terms warrant extra scrutiny.
Failure modes
| Error | Likely cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
type_not_detected |
No mutual/unilateral marker in source | Default to mutual; flag for manual confirmation |
criteria_not_mapped |
Legacy used different check names | Auto-map to nearest of 5 standard criteria |
triage_card_not_generated |
Legacy output was free-form | Wrap in triage card template post-import |
expedited_never_triggered |
Legacy had no expedite logic | Apply HIGH-risk escalation rule |
