$npx -y skills add simbajigege/book2skills --skill contract-drafting-and-review-guidance-china-lawApply China contract drafting review with San Guan Si Bu Fa. Trigger on contract review, drafting, clauses, or deal structure.
| 1 | ## Overview |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This skill applies the Chinese contract drafting and review method known as "三观四步法" from *合同起草审查指南* (T/CAB 0121-2021). It helps lawyers, in-house counsel, business operators, and legal students structure contract review, draft contract frameworks, identify risks, and produce review comments under a China-law lens. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This skill is a workflow and checklist tool. It does not replace current legal research or advice from a licensed lawyer. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - The user asks to review a contract, draft a contract, or identify contract risks. |
| 10 | - The user asks how to structure a transaction before drafting documents. |
| 11 | - The user asks whether a contract form, clause order, or clause wording is appropriate. |
| 12 | - The user asks for a checklist for contract parties, subject matter, procedures, performance, breach, dispute resolution, or signing requirements. |
| 13 | - The contract is governed by PRC law or the user asks for China-law contract drafting logic. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## HOW TO USE THIS SKILL |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. Identify the user's task: contract review, contract drafting, deal-structure design, clause rewrite, or checklist generation. |
| 18 | 2. Ask only for missing facts that are necessary: contract type, user role, transaction purpose, counterparty identity, subject matter, price/payment, timeline, and special risk tolerance. |
| 19 | 3. Apply the four-step process: communicate needs -> analyze through three perspectives -> review -> submit. |
| 20 | 4. Analyze in this order: macro transaction structure -> meso contract structure -> micro clause wording. |
| 21 | 5. If legal validity depends on current statutes, regulatory approvals, judicial interpretations, or local rules, tell the user to verify current law or consult qualified counsel. |

| 48 | |
| 49 | ## Core Principle |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Contract drafting and review should promote viable transactions while controlling legal and business risk. The agent must analyze the transaction at three levels: whether the deal structure works, whether the contract structure fits the deal, and whether the individual clauses are complete, clear, and enforceable. |
