Contract Renewal Radar

Contract Renewal Radar

Prerequisites

This skill needs the iGPT MCP at https://mcp.igpt.ai/.

If the MCP tools aren't available or return an auth error, tell the user to install the iGPT plugin (/plugin marketplace add igptai/skills) or add https://mcp.igpt.ai/ as a connector, then complete OAuth and say "ready". Retry once after they confirm. Never invent tokens or OAuth URLs. For deeper troubleshooting: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igptai/skills/main/shared/mcp-guard.md

What This Skill Does

Scans email for every vendor and supplier contract referenced, extracts expiry and renewal dates, identifies notice periods, flags auto-renewal risks, and returns a deadline-ordered calendar so procurement can act before contracts renew unfavorably or lapse unexpectedly.

---

Workflow

1. Before calling any tool, collect these values from the user. Offer the

defaults and let the user override them; do not invent values they did not give.

• [time_range] — what window of email to scan. The user may give this

in any form ("last 24 months", "the last 2 years", "May 2024", "since procurement reset"). Default: the last 24 months. Keep the user's natural phrasing for use in the ask input; convert to ISO dates separately for the search call.

• [category_scope] — either "all" (default) or a specific supplier

category to focus on (e.g. "SaaS", "logistics", "raw materials").

• [categoryclause] — derived. When [categoryscope] is not "all",

set to " for [categoryscope] vendors". When [categoryscope] is "all", set to empty string.

1. Call search with:

• query: contract renew expire notice period auto-renewal terminate

extend renegotiate vendor supplier agreement (if [category_scope] is not "all", append the category to the query)

• datefrom: ISO start date derived from [timerange]
• dateto: ISO end date derived from [timerange] (or today if open-ended)

1. Call ask with:

• input: Review all vendor and supplier email threads from [timerange][categoryclause] that reference contracts or agreements. For each contract identify: the vendor, the type of agreement, the expiry or renewal date, the notice period required to cancel or renegotiate, whether the contract auto-renews, the annual value if mentioned, and whether a renegotiation or cancellation should be considered based on any satisfaction signals in the email thread.
• output_format:

1. Present ordered by urgency then action_deadline. Lead with critical count

and autorenewalrisk count. Flag any contracts with negative satisfaction signals that are approaching auto-renewal.

1. Ask: "Would you like me to draft a cancellation notice or renegotiation

request for any of these vendors?"
