What it is

A Claude Skill — a single file you drop into .claude/skills/. When you ask about FAR 52.212-4, 52.219-8, or 52.249-2 in any Claude.ai chat, the Skill loads the matching section of the frozen corpus snapshot and returns the clause text verbatim, word-for-word as written in 48 CFR. It then renders a plain-English summary, common applicability scenarios, and related DFARS cross-references using the included output template. The clause body is never paraphrased. The Skill draws from a static snapshot, not from Claude's training weights — which is why it doesn't hallucinate.

v1 covers three clauses: 52.212-4 (Contract Terms and Conditions — Commercial Products and Commercial Services), 52.219-8 (Utilization of Small Business Concerns), and 52.249-2 (Termination for Convenience of the Government — Fixed-Price). If you ask about a clause not in the corpus, the Skill refuses and tells you exactly which clauses are available. It does not fabricate.

How it works

  1. Copy SKILL.md into .claude/skills/

    Copy SKILL.md into your .claude/skills/ directory. No Python, no install command, no plugin manager. The Skill is a plain markdown file the Claude orchestrator reads at session start.

  2. Invoke by clause number in any Claude.ai chat

    Ask about a clause by number ("What does FAR 52.212-4 say?") or by topic ("termination for convenience"). The Skill auto-activates when it recognizes a FAR Part 52 clause number or a covered topic keyword.

  3. Skill locates the clause in the corpus snapshot

    The Skill scans the heading structure of far-corpus-snapshot.md, finds the matching ## FAR XX.XXX-X heading, and extracts the body verbatim through to the next heading. It does not rephrase, summarize, or reorder the clause paragraphs.

  4. Returns verbatim clause text in the rendered template

    Output: the clause number and title, the corpus snapshot date, the full verbatim clause body (reproduced character-for-character from 48 CFR as sourced from acquisition.gov), a plain-English summary, applicability scenarios, and any DFARS cross-references. A boundary disclaimer appears on every output: not a substitute for legal counsel.

  5. Out-of-scope query? Skill refuses, lists available clauses.

    If you ask about a clause not in the v1 corpus (e.g., 52.999-99) or a non-FAR framework (CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-171), the Skill responds plainly: "Not in snapshot" or "Not a FAR clause." It does not hallucinate a clause number or body. The v1 corpus covers 52.212-4, 52.219-8, and 52.249-2 only.

What you get

  • SKILL.md

    The orchestrator instructions — the contract the Skill operates under. Defines when to activate, how to locate a clause in the corpus, the verbatim-retrieval requirement, and the exact refusal behavior for out-of-scope queries. Drop this file into .claude/skills/ to activate.

  • references/far-corpus-snapshot.md

    The frozen FAR corpus. Contains the full verbatim text of FAR 52.212-4, 52.219-8, and 52.249-2, sourced from acquisition.gov (snapshot date: 2026-05-13). The Skill reads this file directly — it is the source of truth for all clause bodies.

  • templates/clause-summary.md

    The output rendering template the Skill uses when returning a clause. Structures the response as: intro line, verbatim clause body, plain-English summary, applicability scenarios, DFARS cross-references, and a boundary disclaimer.

Also included

  • references/SOURCE.md — corpus provenance and licensing (acquisition.gov sourcing, public-domain status under 17 U.S.C. § 105, snapshot date, and refresh instructions)
  • benchmarks/acceptance-cases.md — six manual acceptance test cases with verbatim-match pass criteria; run these before any corpus refresh or SKILL.md edit

How we handle your data

Verbatim retrieval — no paraphrasing, no hallucination

Every clause body is returned word-for-word as written in 48 CFR. The Skill reads from a frozen corpus snapshot, not from Claude's training weights. It cannot paraphrase or fabricate what it retrieves — the text either matches the snapshot character-for-character or the Skill has failed an acceptance test.

Frozen-corpus disclosure — lifetime updates cover FAR revisions

The corpus is a static snapshot dated 2026-05-13, sourced from acquisition.gov. It does not auto-update when the FAR is revised. When a covered clause changes, we refresh the snapshot and ship a new Skill release. The lifetime-updates promise covers these corpus refreshes — you get the updated snapshot via your download link.

Public-domain sourcing under 17 U.S.C. § 105

Works of the U.S. federal government are not subject to copyright in the United States (17 U.S.C. § 105). The FAR is published by the federal government on acquisition.gov for public use. acquisition.gov imposes no additional reuse restrictions. Source URL: https://www.acquisition.gov/far

Runs in your own Claude environment

The Skill activates inside your own Claude.ai session. We never see your clause queries or your contract context. Zero retention — no central database, no query logging on our side. Anthropic's standard API data practices apply to your Claude.ai account.

Who buys this

A prime contractor compliance officer who needs to quote clause 52.219-8 flow-down language to a subcontractor — and wants the exact words, not a paraphrase. A GovCon attorney verifying the termination-for-convenience clause text (52.249-2) against a disputed settlement proposal. A small business owner checking whether 52.212-4 paragraph (l) or 52.249-2 governs the termination in their commercial-items contract. Anyone who has typed a FAR clause question into ChatGPT and gotten back clause text that sounded plausible but wasn't the actual 48 CFR language.

Who shouldn't buy this

Frequently asked

Why these 3 clauses in v1?

52.212-4 (commercial items terms), 52.219-8 (small business utilization), and 52.249-2 (termination for convenience — fixed-price) are among the most frequently flow-down-required clauses in federal prime contracts to small business subcontractors [VERIFY]. They are also the clauses where retrieval accuracy matters most — an imprecise termination clause has real money consequences. v1 scopes tight so verbatim accuracy is verifiable against the acceptance cases.

When are more clauses added?

Corpus expansion is on the roadmap [VERIFY]. Each new clause goes through the same acceptance-case process before shipping — verbatim match, refusal behavior, DFARS cross-references. When new clauses land, your lifetime-updates license gives you the refreshed Skill at no additional charge.

How does this differ from asking ChatGPT about a FAR clause?

ChatGPT answers from training weights. It may produce clause text that sounds correct but differs from the actual 48 CFR language — a paraphrase, an out-of-date version, or a hallucinated paragraph. This Skill retrieves verbatim text from a frozen corpus snapshot sourced directly from acquisition.gov. The acceptance-case suite includes a verbatim-diff check: the returned body must match the snapshot character-for-character. ChatGPT has no equivalent guarantee.

Is this legal advice?

No. The Skill retrieves clause text and provides a plain-English reading summary. It does not interpret how a clause applies to your specific contract, it does not determine compliance, and it is not a substitute for counsel. Every output includes a boundary disclaimer to that effect. If you need a legal determination, consult your contracting officer or a GovCon attorney.

What corpus snapshot version is current?

The corpus snapshot included in this Skill is dated 2026-05-13, sourced from acquisition.gov. The snapshot date appears in the header of every clause output. If you see a date that differs from the current FAR effective date on acquisition.gov, the Skill may be behind — check references/SOURCE.md in your download for the provenance record, and email support if you believe a clause has been updated.

Can I install this on my company's Claude Enterprise account?

Yes. SKILL.md is a plain markdown file. It installs the same way in Claude Enterprise as in Claude.ai personal — drop it into .claude/skills/ in your project or workspace. The single-buyer license covers your own use. If multiple people on your team need the Skill, the Solo Operator Kit bundle ($149) includes it alongside 4 other tools.

What's the refund policy?

14-day no-questions refund. Install the Skill, run it on a clause query, check the output against the acceptance cases in benchmarks/acceptance-cases.md. If the verbatim retrieval doesn't work, refund it.

What if the Skill returns text that diverges from the current acquisition.gov text?

That is a corpus-accuracy bug. The snapshot is frozen at 2026-05-13; if the FAR has been revised since that date, the snapshot is behind, not wrong. If the text diverges from the acquisition.gov text as of the snapshot date, that is a defect — email support or file a GitHub issue with the clause number and the specific divergence. We will verify against acquisition.gov and ship a corrected snapshot if confirmed.
