Insurance Policy Decoder: What's Actually Covered?
Example session with this skill installed
Homeowners policy, house insured for $380,000 dwelling, $190,000 contents on actual cash value, $2,500 standard deductible but a 2% wind/hail deductible, jewellery sublimit $1,500, water damage 'excludes sewer or drain backup and surface water', liability $300,000. We're in Florida, have about $8,000 of jewellery, and the roof is 14 years old. Decode this.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the insurance policy decoder
Policy Decode: homeowners β Florida, current policy period
1. The verdict
Three findings change what you think you have. First, your wind/hail deductible is $7,600, not $2,500, and in Florida wind is the claim you're most likely to make. Second, contents are on actual cash value, so a total loss on $190,000 of belongings pays out substantially less after depreciation. Third, $8,000 of jewellery against a $1,500 sublimit leaves $6,500 uncovered unless scheduled.
2. Coverage decode
| Coverage line | Limit / basis | What it pays in a real scenario | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dwelling | $380,000 | Hurricane roof loss of $30,000: pays $22,400 after the 2% wind deductible | π‘ |
| Contents | $190,000, ACV | A 6-year-old $2,000 sofa destroyed: pays perhaps $600β$900, not $2,000 | π΄ |
| Jewellery | $1,500 sublimit | Theft of $8,000 of jewellery: pays $1,500 | π΄ |
| Water damage | Excludes sewer/drain backup and surface water | A backed-up drain flooding the ground floor: pays $0 | π΄ |
| Liability | $300,000 | A guest injury claim: covered to $300,000 | π’ |
3. π© Red flags, ranked
- "2% wind/hail deductible" β on $380,000 that's $7,600 per wind event. Gap versus the $2,500 you assumed: $5,100.
- "Contents at actual cash value" β on a total loss, depreciation could remove a third or more of $190,000. Gap: potentially $50,000+.
- "Excludes sewer or drain backup and surface water" β the most common non-storm water claim is uncovered. Gap: whatever the event costs.
- "Jewellery $1,500" β gap $6,500 on your stated $8,000.
- 14-year-old roof β many carriers pay roofs on ACV or apply a roof schedule; check for a roof-payment schedule endorsement.
4. The math section
ACV vs. replacement on contents: $190,000 replacement Γ ~35% average depreciation β
$123,500 payout on a total loss (illustrative). Replacement-cost endorsement typically restores the full $190,000. Deductible reality: standard $2,500; wind $7,600. Sublimits vs. valuables: jewellery $1,500 vs $8,000 β schedule the difference.
5. Questions for the agent
- Price a replacement-cost contents endorsement. (in writing)
- Price scheduling $8,000 of jewellery with appraisals.
- Add sewer/drain backup coverage; what limit and cost?
- Is there a roof-payment schedule or ACV-on-roof endorsement given its age? (in writing)
- Flood is excluded here; what does a separate flood policy cost for this address?

About this skill
The problem
People learn what their policy covers on the day they claim. The exclusions, sublimits, percentage deductibles, and actual-cash-value settlements are all in the document, but nobody reads a policy until the roof is off.
What it does
- Decodes each coverage line with a concrete payout scenario.
- Ranks red flags: exclusions that gut headline coverage, sublimits, ACV settlements, percentage deductibles.
- Works the math on your property: ACV vs. replacement cost, the deductible in dollars, sublimits vs. your actual valuables.
- Lists the gaps to price with your agent: flood, sewer backup, scheduled items, replacement-cost endorsement.
- Marks which answers to get in writing.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
A general prompt summarises coverage types. This skill runs each coverage against a scenario you'd actually face, converts every percentage into dollars on your numbers, and flags the three findings that most change what you think you have.
Use cases
- Reviewing a new homeowners policy before the first renewal.
- Checking whether jewellery or electronics are really covered.
- Understanding a 2% hurricane deductible in dollars.
- Comparing two renters policies with different exclusions.
Known limitations
Not legal or financial advice. With only a declarations page it decodes what's visible and lists the exclusion and definition sections still needed, because that's where the reading matters.
