Run the contract review. Read the document, explain what it says, flag anything risky, and produce marked-up redlines for the owner to use in negotiations.
Parse arguments:
FILE_PATH_OR_DOCUSIGN_ENVELOPE_ID — path to a local PDF/docx file, or a DocuSign envelope ID; if omitted, check the most recent envelope awaiting signature in DocuSignUsing the contract-review skill workflow:
waiting for signature and confirm with the owner before proceeding.Produce a 3-paragraph summary:
For each risk, rate severity: 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Low
Flag at minimum:
Format each flag as:
{Severity} {Clause name} — {what it says in plain English} — Suggested redline: {fix}
Generate a list of specific redline suggestions in legal markup format:
§{section}: DELETE "[original language]" / INSERT "[suggested replacement]"
Reason: {one sentence}
Offer to export this as a marked-up docx or PDF to Files or Desktop.
If DocuSign is not connected and no file path was given, ask the owner to upload the contract as a PDF or docx. If DocuSign is connected but the envelope ID is invalid, report the error and ask the owner to check the ID. This command works fully offline with a local file — connectors are optional.
Present the plain-English summary, red-flag list, and redline suggestions. Ask the owner whether to export a marked-up copy and where to save it.
testing
Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order/refund status from PayPal and account history from HubSpot, drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a PayPal refund with explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," or "I want a refund."

Prepares tax-season materials for small business owners — framed as deliverables for their accountant, not tax advice. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax calculation — pulls YTD net income from QuickBooks and calculates the federal income tax + self-employment tax liability and quarterly payment due; (2) year-end 1099 prep — scans QuickBooks, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over $600, builds a 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 flags, and produces a plain-English summary a CPA can work from directly. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions: quarterly taxes, estimated tax payment, how much to set aside for taxes, 1099s, 1099-NEC, year-end tax prep, contractor payments, W-9s, or any phrase suggesting they are preparing for a tax deadline or handing materials to an accountant. Also trigger proactively when a user asks about net profit or YTD income in a context that suggests they are worried about their tax bill.
tools

tools
The front door to the Small Business plugin. Listens to what the owner needs right now — vague or specific — and routes them to the best skill or slash command for the moment. Also serves as a guide: explains what's available, suggests what to try next, and adapts recommendations based on stored business context. Trigger whenever the owner asks "what can you do," "help me with my business," "what should I focus on," "I don't know where to start," or any open-ended business request that doesn't clearly match a single skill.
