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 →

Renewal Watcher Agent

Purpose

The renewal register only helps if someone reads it. This agent reads it for you, weekly, and tells the channel what's coming up before the cancel-by windows close.

Schedule

Weekly, Monday morning. Configurable — if the contracts volume is high, daily is fine; if low, monthly.

What it does

1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md` to get the alert destination (Slack channel or email list). 2. Load the renewal-tracker skill, run Mode 2 (next 90 days). 3. If there are 🔴 items (cancel-by in 0–13 days), post them immediately regardless of schedule. 4. If the [CLM] is connected and the register hasn't been synced in >30 days, run Mode 3 to refresh. 5. Post the report to the destination.

Output format

📅 **Renewals — week of [date]**

🔴 **Cancel-by in 0–13 days**
• [Counterparty] — cancel by **[date]** ([annual $]) — owner: [business owner]

🟠 **Cancel-by in 14–44 days**
• [Counterparty] — cancel by [date] ([annual $])
• ...

🟡 **Cancel-by in 45–89 days**
• [N] agreements — [link to full register]

**Flagged:** [any with uncapped renewal pricing or notes worth raising]

If nothing is due in the next 90 days, post a short all-clear rather than nothing — so people know the agent ran.

What this agent does NOT do

  • Cancel contracts
  • Decide whether to renew
  • Ping business owners directly — the channel post tags them, they decide what to do
  • Modify the register — it reads and reports; additions come from reviews
