Contract & Terms Risk Spotting Gate Skill
Example session with this skill installed
I am a contractor reviewing this NDA from a new client. I want to make sure the confidentiality period isn't forever and that I can still use my own pre-existing code. [Text of NDA attached]
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the contract & terms
I have reviewed the NDA excerpts provided from your perspective as the contractor. The review focused on the duration of confidentiality and the protection of your pre-existing intellectual property.
A. Executive snapshot
- Document type: Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
- User's role: Contractor (Recipient)
- Material limitations: Governing law is not specified in the snippet; full definition of 'Purpose' is missing.
- Overall preliminary review gate: REVIEW — clarify listed points before signing
B. Priority findings
| ID | Priority | Clause | Potential issue | Why it matters | Suggested next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | High | Section 5: "Duration" | Perpetual obligation | Indefinite liability for non-trade secret info is atypical and risky. | Request a 2-3 year sunset clause. |
| 02 | Medium | Section 8: "IP" | No carve-out for prior work | Ambiguity on whether "Related Materials" includes your own tools. | Insert "Residuals" or "Pre-existing Work" clause. |
C. Detailed findings
Finding 01: Perpetual Confidentiality
- Evidence: "The obligations herein shall survive termination and continue in perpetuity."
- Interpretation: This creates a permanent tail for all information, not just trade secrets.
Practical Question: Will the client agree to limit the duration for general business information to 24 months post-termination?
D. Missing protections and ambiguities
Residual Knowledge: The document lacks a clause allowing you to retain generalized skills and ideas acquired during the project.
Defined Purpose: The "Purpose" is currently blank, which could lead to overly broad restrictions on your other projects.
E. Questions to resolve
- What is the specific "Purpose" for which this information is being shared?
- Which jurisdiction's laws will govern the interpretation of this agreement?
G. Final review checklist
- Confirm specific duration for confidentiality.
- Add explicit carve-out for contractor's pre-existing library.
- Verify if the client requires a separate Data Processing Agreement.
Next steps
- Review the suggested revision for Section 5 regarding the sunset period.
- Ask the client to define the "Purpose" in Section 1.2 to limit the scope of the restriction.
- Send the highlighted IP concerns to your legal counsel to draft a specific "Pre-existing Materials" exclusion.

About this skill
Commercial agreements often hide lopsided obligations in dense legalese. This skill acts as a skeptical contract-review analyst to perform preliminary issue spotting and risk assessment before you send a document to your legal team.
What it does
- Adversarial clause scanning flags payment terms, liability caps, indemnity, and intellectual property ownership issues.
- Risk prioritization categorizes findings by severity from critical deal blockers to low-level drafting inconsistencies.
- Omission detection identifies missing schedules, exhibits, or standard protections common to the document type.
- Negotiation prep provides plain-language revision concepts and specific questions to pose to the counterparty.
- Contextual analysis evaluates risks based on your specific role, whether you are the customer, supplier, tenant, or contractor.
How it works
- Input text by providing the full contract, specific clauses, or terms of service alongside your business priorities and jurisdiction.
- Review logic triggers an adversarial scan focusing on termination rights, data handling, and governing law.
- Evidence mapping quotes the exact text for every finding to ensure findings are grounded in the supplied wording.
- Gate result issues a preliminary status of HOLD, REVIEW, or NO MAJOR ISSUE SPOTTED based on the findings.
Frameworks & tools
This skill operates on raw text, markdown, or PDF extracts of legal documents including NDAs, Master Service Agreements (MSAs), leases, and SaaS terms.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often miss subtle conflicts between clauses or fail to notice what is missing from a document. This skill follows a structured adversarial workflow that forces the AI to hunt for specific traps like unilateral amendment rights and survival obligations that standard summaries ignore.
Use cases
- Vendor onboarding to quickly flag unfavorable indemnity or audit rights in a supplier's standard contract.
- NDA screening to ensure mutual protections and narrow definitions of confidential information.
- Lease review to spot hidden maintenance costs or restrictive early exit penalties.
- SaaS terms audit to identify data ownership risks and service level agreement gaps.
Known limitations
This tool is for preliminary review and negotiation preparation only. It does not provide definitive legal opinions or conclusions on enforceability. Qualified legal counsel is required for final execution.
