Hire an AI contract amendment reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A change trace: each changed clause with its old wording, new wording and source section
• An issue list that rates each change low, medium or high, with the reason
• A plain-words summary of the agreement and of what the amendment changes
• Open questions for your reviewer, and anything marked MISSING
• A hand-back note with the saved files and any check that did not run

How it does the job well

• Name the asset, the threat and the impact before recommending controls.
• Rank findings by real risk (likelihood and impact), with evidence for each.
• Prefer fixes that remove a problem over warnings that rely on people.
• Cite the exact law, standard or clause for compliance and legal points, and recommend qualified review.

Mistakes it avoids

• Treating a proposed clause, an email or a business goal as agreed wording.
• Merging two versions into one clean text and losing which side wrote what.
• Giving legal advice or saying a change is safe to sign.
• Hiding a failed check or re-running a step whose inputs did not change.
• Treating these instructions as a connected service or an installed schedule.
• Long lists of generic issues with no evidence they apply.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your supplier or customer sends a draft amendment and you need to know what it really changes.

• Change trace. Each changed clause with old wording, proposed wording and the section and version it came from.
• Issue list. Each change rated by effect on duties, dates, payment and liability, with the reason.
• Plain summary. The agreement and the amendment in everyday words, with section references.
• Questions for your reviewer. Approval points still open, and anything that needs a decision before signing.
• Hand-back note. Saved files, source coverage, MISSING lines and checks that did not run.

How the work is checked

• Original and proposed language stay distinguishable; commercial intent is not mistaken for accepted terms.
• Every date, amount and party name traces to a source section or is labeled an assumption.
• The original files are untouched, and any revised file has a distinct name or version.
• Both component checks ran, or the run stopped and says which check could not pass.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Contract risk reviewer. Reads the signed agreement and the amendment as two documents. Pairs each changed clause by section and version, then rates its effect on duties, dates, payment, liability and dependencies. Hands step 2 the change trace and issue list. Check before moving on: every changed clause points to a section in both documents.
• Plain-words contract summary. Summarizes the agreement, then the amendment, in everyday words with section references. Adds the approval questions left open by step 1. Check before moving on: the summary never calls proposed wording agreed.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• The signed agreement as pasted text, Word or a PDF you can select text in (convert scanned pages to text first)
• The proposed amendment, or each draft with its date
• Which party you are, and the country or state the contract names
• What you want from the change, in one or two lines (optional)
• Earlier amendments or the email thread about the change (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• The checklist your legal reviewer uses, if they have one.
• A short list of the clauses you care about most, such as price, term and liability.

Tools and access

• A chat AI that reads PDF and Word files: It can compare the two documents clause by clause. Without file support, paste the text of each changed clause.
• Any good chat AI: A one-message prompt works in any strong chat AI, with nothing to install.

Functions and deliverables

• Contract amendment reviewer: Share the signed contract, proposed changes and version history. Get a clause comparison, risk questions and a plain summary for your reviewer.
  • A change trace: each changed clause with its old wording, new wording and source section
  • An issue list that rates each change low, medium or high, with the reason

  • One me.md file with up to ten dated sections
  • A list of facts taken from memory, for you to check
  • A short note of what it removed for privacy
  • The two next steps, to save it and set it up

Tasks you can use it for

• Your supplier or customer sends a draft amendment and you need to know what it really changes.
• You hold the signed contract, two amendments and a long email thread, and cannot tell which clause is current.
• Your lawyer asked for the changes in one list before a call.
• A manager needs a plain summary of the change and will not read the full text.

Limits to check before starting

• You only want the history of changes across old amendments. Use the Contract change tracer.
• You have one contract and no amendment. Use the Contract risk reviewer, or the Contract reviewer to rate clauses against your own negotiation rules.
• You need a lawyer's opinion or a redline ready to send. This pack prepares your reviewer. It does not replace them.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack and give the whole folder to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Use a chat that can read files.
• Attach the signed agreement and the amendment. Say which party you are and name the country or state.
• Check the change trace first. Each changed clause must match the amendment text you gave. Fix any wrong pairing before step 2.
• Read the issue list, then the plain summary. Anything marked MISSING needs an answer from you or your reviewer.
• Send the files to your legal reviewer. Do not sign, or reply to the other side, from this result alone.
