Use case

Build a Contract Review Agent

Read legal contracts, flag non-standard clauses, summarize obligations, and surface risk items for attorney review.

Legal review bottlenecks close deals and delay vendor onboarding. Most contracts follow predictable structures, which means an agent can handle the first-pass read: finding the liability cap, spotting auto-renewal language, flagging missing indemnification limits, and summarizing the core obligations. The agent does not replace attorney judgment, but it removes the hour spent extracting the right clauses so the attorney can spend that time on the two genuinely unusual provisions. This stack handles PDF ingestion, clause detection, and structured output for attorney handoff.

  1. 1
    A Agents Clause Detection + Risk Flagging

    Claude Code

    by Anthropic

    Why this: Claude Code reads the full contract text and identifies specific clause types, compares them against a reference playbook, and flags deviations. It handles multi-page contracts with cross-references and defined terms better than keyword extraction.

  2. 2
    M MCP Contract + Risk Store

    Supabase MCP Server

    by Supabase

    Why this: Supabase stores the raw contract, extracted clause records, and risk flags with severity ratings. Attorneys can query the database to find all contracts with a particular risk type across a portfolio rather than reading reports one by one.

  3. 3
    O OSS Playbook Knowledge Base

    Anything LLM

    by Community

    Why this: AnythingLLM ingests the legal team's standard positions and fallback positions as a knowledge base. The review agent retrieves the relevant standard clause text before comparison, so risk flags are grounded in the actual playbook rather than general legal knowledge.

  4. 4
    S Skills Document Processing

    Claude API Skill

    by Anthropic

    Why this: The Claude API skill handles long-context contracts that exceed typical prompt limits by managing the chunking and context assembly before the main extraction pass. It also handles scanned PDFs via vision when digital text extraction fails.

  5. 5
    S Skills Clause Research

    Deep Research Skill

    by Community

    Why this: For unfamiliar clause types or jurisdiction-specific provisions, the research skill pulls relevant legal context before the agent makes a risk determination. This reduces false positives on clauses that are standard in a given jurisdiction but unusual in others.

Why we picked this stack

Get this running with Enterprise DNA.

Enterprise DNA stores the legal playbook as an OPM knowledge asset tied to the contract review project, versioned in the repository so attorneys can update standard positions without touching the agent code. The agent reads contract files from the Supabase Storage bucket and writes risk reports back to the same project, giving the team a complete audit trail from upload through attorney sign-off. Infisical manages the API credentials so the review pipeline runs in CI without hardcoded secrets.
