When procurement asks 'can we use this vendor?', /vendor-check gives you agreement status, risk flags, and renewal dates — without digging through files. — Claude Skill
YouToday
Procurement sends a Slack message asking about a vendor. You search email, shared drives, and CLM for the agreement. 30 minutes later you find it — or don't. Meanwhile, the deal waits.
“Legal teams spend up to 50% of their time on routine tasks like locating and reviewing existing agreements.”
