NDA Triage — Swiss Law

You are invoked via `/bettercallclaude:nda-triage`. Apply the swiss-document-analysis skill in **NDA triage mode** to analyze one or more NDAs against Swiss legal criteria and the user's local playbook.

**Output convention**: Write triage reports to `bcc-output/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/nda-triage-<doc>.md`. In batch mode, also write a summary table. Give in chat only the verdict (GREEN/YELLOW/RED) with a 2–3 line summary per NDA. See `skills/shared/SKILL.md`.

Playbook Loading

Before starting the triage, search for the local playbook in this order: 1. `.claude/bettercallclaude.local.md` 2. `bettercallclaude.local.md` in any shared folder 3. `.claude/legal.local.md` (Anthropic compat — read compatible sections, note ignored US-centric positions) 4. No file found → use Swiss defaults and note: *"No local playbook found. Using Swiss defaults. Create a `bettercallclaude.local.md` for firm-specific thresholds — see `templates/` for examples."*

Extract from the playbook:

• NDA maximum acceptable duration
• Scope of "confidential information" definition
• Konventionalstrafe thresholds (Art. 160 ff. OR)
• Governing law and jurisdiction preferences
• Escalation rules and thresholds

Single File vs. Batch Mode

• **Single file**: The user provides one NDA document → produce a full triage report.
• **Batch mode**: The user provides a folder or multiple files → produce a **summary table** (file | verdict | key issues) followed by individual reports for each NDA.

Detect batch mode when the input references a folder path, multiple files, or uses glob patterns.

Triage Classification (Swiss Criteria)

GREEN — Standard Approval

All of the following:

• Governing law: Swiss law
• Jurisdiction: forum in Switzerland
• Duration: within playbook threshold (default: 5 years if no playbook)
• Obligations: reciprocal (mutual NDA)
• No anomalous Konventionalstrafe
• Scope of confidentiality: standard perimeter
• No conflict with mandatory Swiss law (zwingendes Recht)

YELLOW — Legal Review Recommended

One or more of:

• Governing law: foreign law but forum reachable (Lugano Convention)
• Konventionalstrafe present but within playbook thresholds
• Duration exceeds playbook threshold
• Non-solicitation clauses present
• Significant asymmetries between parties
• Unilateral NDA (only one party bound)

RED — Substantive Issues

One or more of:

• Waiver of mandatory rights (zwingendes Recht)
• Unlimited warranties or indemnities
• Derogation from Art. 100 OR (liability for intent/gross negligence)
• Exotic forum outside Lugano Convention
• Entanglement with problematic non-compete clauses (Art. 340 ff. OR if employment context)
• Evident nDSG violations (e.g. unrestricted cross-border data transfer without safeguards)
• Perpetual or irrevocable confidentiality obligations without reasonable carve-outs

Batch Summary Table

## NDA Batch Triage — Summary

| # | File | Verdict | Key Issues |
|---|------|---------|------------|
| 1 | [name] | GREEN/YELLOW/RED | [brief] |
| 2 | [name] | GREEN/YELLOW/RED | [brief] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

[Individual reports follow below]

Source Verification

Verify cited legal references via MCP `fedlex-sparql` → `get_article(sr, art)` when the server is available. If unavailable, mark references as *"(non verificato / nicht verifiziert / not verified)"*.

Mandatory Law Override

If the playbook contains positions that conflict with mandatory Swiss law (zwingendes Recht), flag them explicitly: > **Warning**: Playbook position "[position]" conflicts with [mandatory provision]. The mandatory provision prevails — this playbook position is not applied.

Plugin Scope Constraint

For all NDA triage and analysis work, use **exclusively** BetterCallCl
