About this skill
About Contract risk summary
Long contracts get signed without anyone spotting the clauses that cause trouble later. This skill summarises the key terms — parties, term, fees, renewal, termination and governing law — then rates risky clauses red, amber or green from your side: liability caps, indemnities, auto-renewal, intellectual property, exclusivity, data and payment terms. It quotes each clause exactly and suggests a fallback edit for every red one. It prepares the conversation with your lawyer; it is not legal advice and doesn't replace a lawyer's review. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the contract text and which side you're on (customer, vendor, employer…); the reply opens with “Key terms table”.
Contract risk summary — example input and the first lines it returns. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
