Contract Red Flag & Key Terms Checklist Generator
Example session with this skill installed
Review this clause: 'The Company owns all IP created by the Contractor during the term. The Company may terminate for any reason with 2 days notice. The Contractor must give 60 days notice.'
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the contract red flag
I have reviewed the provided contract clauses. This is a plain-English summary and awareness tool, not legal advice. For high-stakes agreements, please consult a qualified lawyer.
Plain-English Summary
Ownership/IP Rights: The Company takes full ownership of every piece of intellectual property you create while the contract is active.
Termination: There is a significant gap in exit rights. The Company can end the relationship almost instantly (2 days), while you are locked in for two months (60 days) after you decide to leave.
Worth a Closer Look
| Clause Type | Summary of Terms | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Termination Asymmetry | Company: 2 days / Contractor: 60 days | This is highly imbalanced. You are committed to long-term availability, but the Company has almost no commitment to you. |
| IP Ownership | "All IP created during the term" | This is broad. It could potentially include work you do on your own time if it happens "during the term" of the contract. |
Questions to Ask
- Can the termination notice period be balanced to 30 days for both parties?
- Can the IP ownership be limited specifically to "Work Product" delivered and paid for, rather than all IP created during the timeframe?
- If the Company terminates with only 2 days' notice, is there a guaranteed "kill fee" or payment for work in progress?
Next steps
- Highlight the termination clause and propose a mutual 30-day notice period.
- Request a clarification in the IP section to exclude your pre-existing tools or independent projects.
- Ask for a definition of "Work Product" to ensure the IP transfer is specific.

What you get
About this skill
Reviewing contracts shouldn't require a law degree just to understand the basic trade-offs. This skill identifies one-sided clauses and translates dense legalese into plain English so you know exactly what you are signing.
What it does
- Plain-English translation converts complex legal jargon into readable summaries organized by category.
- Red-flag identification flags imbalanced clauses like termination asymmetry or aggressive IP transfers.
- Financial auditing extracts payment amounts, schedules, late fees, and hidden renewal costs.
- IP & ownership tracking clarifies who owns the work product and any non-compete restrictions.
- Preparation coaching generates a custom list of questions to ask the counterparty or a lawyer.
How it works
- Paste the full text of a contract or a specific clause into the chat.
- The agent parses the text for specific legal categories like liability, termination, and jurisdiction.
- You receive a structured report detailing what the contract says and where the risks are.
- Use the generated questions to negotiate better terms or brief your legal counsel.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is framework-agnostic and works with any text-based contract format including Markdown, PDF text extractions, or raw copy-pastes from Word documents.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often miss subtle asymmetries or fail to provide the specific "why" behind a flagged clause. This skill uses a specialized extraction framework to ensure payment terms and termination rights are never overlooked.
Use cases
- Reviewing freelance service agreements to protect intellectual property.
- Auditing SaaS Terms of Service for auto-renewal and price hike clauses.
- Checking employment offers for restrictive non-compete or non-solicitation language.
- Summarizing NDAs to understand the scope and duration of confidentiality.
Known limitations
This tool provides educational awareness and does not offer legal advice or formal legal opinions. It cannot process contracts involving illegal activities.
