## Overview

Generate or tailor due diligence checklists (corporate, contracts, employment, IP, property, litigation, compliance) by deal type.

## Getting Started

Add your checklist (or deal parameters) to the workspace and activate the skill. Run the validator to ensure at least one category per standard area (corporate, contracts, employment, IP, property, litigation, compliance) and no empty categories.

## Tools

- **validate_checklist_coverage** — Checks for at least one category per standard area (corporate, contracts, employment, IP, property, litigation, compliance) and flags missing areas.

## Example conversation

> **You:** Build a due diligence checklist for our share acquisition of a logistics company. We need corporate, contracts, employment, IP, property, litigation, compliance.
>
> **Agent:** I've created `dd/checklist.md` with categories and items for each area. Running the validator.
>
> **Agent:** OK: all seven standard areas have at least one category. Ready for tailoring.
>
> **You:** Add 5 more contract items for customer concentration.
>
> **Agent:** Added five items under Contracts (customer contracts, concentration, key terms, termination, assignability).
