TL;DR

This skill analyzes legal contracts, NDAs, SaaS agreements, and M&A documents to flag unfavorable terms, suggest redlines, and compare clauses to market standards. It helps in-house counsel, procurement managers, and deal teams review liability caps, indemnification, termination rights, and other risk areas without missing a clause. The output includes an executive summary, risk analysis by severity, missing provisions, and a negotiation priority list.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Review an NDA for receiving-party risks

Uses contract-review

  • Path to the NDA PDF or DOCX, replacing [path/to/nda.pdf]
  • User position: receiving party
  • Whether the document is a draft or already executed, if known
Use the contract-review skill to review the NDA at [path/to/nda.pdf] for red flags from my position as the receiving party. Start with the pre-review completeness checks, then provide a concise first-pass risk assessment and identify the most important terms to discuss with qualified counsel. Treat [path/to/nda.pdf] as a placeholder for the actual NDA file path.
