First read commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md and confirm whether our side is the employer, contractor, subcontractor, or construction management party, along with the project location, project category, tendering and procurement background, contract version, drawing list, and negotiation objectives. Any default position is only a starting point and must be calibrated to the current role. The original contract is read-only; write revisions to a working copy.
- First verify the parties, qualifications and authorization, tendering and approval background, contract formation/effectiveness, and consistency between the contract and the bid-winning documents. Verify the relevant rules from official sources according to the project timeline.
- Build the transaction loop: scope and interfaces, price measurement, advance payment/progress payment/settlement, invoices and taxes, change orders, materials and equipment, extension of the construction period, suspension and resumption of work, quality, completion acceptance, defect liability, warranty, termination, claims, and dispute resolution. Check item by item whether definitions, attachments, amounts, and time limits are mutually consistent.
- For each important issue, provide "clause location—triggering facts—legal risk—performance friction—suggested revision—negotiable alternative—evidence/management action"; explain the pros and cons separately for our side and the counterparty. Do not insert fixed liquidated damages percentages or statutory time limits without verification.
- Review priorities include the authority and time limits for change orders, confirmation of quantities, attribution of construction period and critical path, the evidence chain for acceptance and settlement, the linkage between payment and quality warranty funds, and risks related to actual constructors and subcontracting. Any existing project-specific review gates take precedence.
- Output a risk overview, clause-by-clause comments, and materials to be verified; if the user needs an annotated version or a revised version, preserve the original, work on a copy, and separately verify structure and formatting. A lawyer must review before formal delivery.
Check item by item according to the twelve modules of task_context、jurisdiction、temporal、actors、matter、claims_and_elements、authority_and_interpretation、proof、procedure、outcomes_and_enforcement、strategy_and_uncertainty、governance ; for contract review, focus on expanding the parties, validity, performance, evidence, and risk, and for the remaining items give task-relevant reasons for non-applicability or blocking paths. Do not treat statements recorded in the contract text directly as performance facts.
