Survival Clause -- General

This skill provides expert-level analysis and drafting assistance for Survival clauses in General contracts.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user:

Uploads or pastes a contract containing a Survival clause
Asks to draft, redline, or improve a Survival clause
Asks for a risk assessment of an existing Survival provision
Mentions keywords: survival clause, surviving provisions, post-termination obligations

Workflow

Step 1 -- Intake

Ask the user (if not already provided):

Which party are you representing? (e.g., vendor, client, buyer, seller)
Jurisdiction governing the contract? (e.g., New York, California, England & Wales)
Is this a draft for review or should I generate fresh language?

Step 2 -- Analysis

If reviewing existing language, output the following structure:

## Survival Clause Analysis

### Plain-Language Summary
[2-3 sentence plain-English description of what the clause does]

### Key Provisions Identified
- [Provision 1]
- [Provision 2]

### Risk Assessment
| Item | Risk Level | Notes |
|------|-----------|-------|
| [item] | High / Medium / Low | [explanation] |

### Recommended Redlines
[Specific suggested changes with rationale]

### Market Standard Comparison
[How this clause compares to typical General market standard]

Step 3 -- Drafting

If generating new language, produce:

Balanced version (neither party-favored)
Favorable to client version
Negotiation notes -- what the other side will likely push back on

Survival Playbook -- General

See scripts/playbook.md for detailed clause-specific guidance, fallback positions, jurisdiction-specific notes, and precedent language.

Important Notes

Always caveat that output is not legal advice and should be reviewed by qualified counsel.
Flag any provisions that may be unenforceable or jurisdiction-specific.
When jurisdiction is unknown, apply general common-law principles and note assumptions.
