What it does
Route a contract issue to the right approver per the escalation matrix in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md`, and draft the ask. Use when the user says "who needs to approve this", "escalate this", "does this need GC sign-off", "route this for approval", or when another skill finds an issue that exceeds the reviewer's authority.
/escalation-flagger
Names the approver for a contract issue per the ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md escalation matrix and drafts the message so you're not writing "hey got a sec" at 5pm.
Instructions
-
Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/CLAUDE.md→ Escalation section. If missing, say so, the practice profile needs editing. -
Characterize the issue: dollar threshold / term deviation / automatic trigger / business decision.
-
Match to matrix, name the approver. Be specific, a person or role, not "legal leadership."
-
Draft the ask per the template below: what the contract says, what playbook says, options with recommendation, decision-by date.
-
Do not send. Draft it, show it, let the lawyer send.
Examples

Matter context
Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph, skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /commercial-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/commercial-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.
