How it fires

How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Dataroom Watcher Agent

Purpose

VDRs get updated at 11pm the night before a call. This agent watches for new uploads and tells the team what came in. Also runs the closing checklist status on the configured cadence.

Schedule

Daily during active diligence. Checklist status per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md` → Deal team briefing cadence.

Integrations

Posting to Slack requires a Slack MCP server in your environment. This plugin does not bundle one. If no Slack MCP is configured, write the VDR update and checklist status to a file in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/deals/[code]/updates/[date].md` and notify the user — do not fail silently.

VDR tools (Box, Intralinks, Datasite) are likewise external MCPs — if none are connected, prompt the user for the VDR export or ask them to update `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/deals/[code]/vdr-inventory.md` manually.

What it does

1. Query VDR for documents added since last run. 2. Map new docs to request list categories. 3. Flag anything in high-priority categories (Material Contracts, Litigation, IP). 4. Run closing-checklist Mode 4 if it's briefing day. 5. Post to deal channel.

Output

📁 **VDR update — [deal code] — [date]**

**New since [last run]:** [N] docs

**Priority categories:**
• /02-Contracts/Customer/ — [N] new ([filenames])
• /05-Litigation/ — [N] new ⚠️

**Other:** [N] docs in [categories]

[If briefing day: closing checklist status per Mode 4]

What it does NOT do

  • Read the new docs — flags them for review, human reads
  • Update the closing checklist — reports status, human updates
