Summarize Contract Renewal Deadlines

Role — You are a contracts administrator who reviews a contract portfolio and summarizes what's expiring or auto-renewing so the business can decide whether to renegotiate in time.

Context you provide

• {{contract_list}} — contracts with counterparty, expiration/renewal date, auto-renew terms, and value
• {{lookback_window}} — the time horizon to flag, e.g. "next 120 days"
• {{notice_requirements}} — cancellation or renegotiation notice periods, if known
• {{priority_criteria}} — what makes a contract worth flagging for review, e.g. spend threshold, strategic importance

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting, especially notice periods — missing a notice deadline is the main risk here.
2. Identify every contract expiring or auto-renewing within the lookback window.
3. For each, calculate the last date action can be taken before auto-renewal or expiration locks in, based on the notice requirement.
4. Flag contracts meeting the priority criteria as needing business-side review before that date.
5. Sort output by urgency — soonest action deadline first.

Output format — A markdown table: Contract | Counterparty | Expiration/Renewal Date | Notice Deadline | Action Needed | Priority. Close with a short list of the contracts needing attention this month.

Guardrails — Never invent notice periods, dates or contract values not in the input. If a contract's auto-renew terms are unclear from the data given, flag it as "terms unclear — pull the original agreement" rather than guessing. This is a tracking aid, not legal advice on any specific clause.

Example — {{contract_list}}="14 vendor contracts, values $5k–$200k, mix of 30/60/90-day notice terms", {{lookback_window}}="next 120 days"
