About this skill
About NDA checker
Many people sign non-disclosure agreements without reading them, including one-way terms and unusually long durations. This skill checks an NDA against a standard checklist — mutual or one-way, the definition of confidential information, exclusions, duration, permitted use, return or destruction, governing law — and flags unusual or one-sided terms, such as a non-solicitation clause hiding inside. It suggests standard wording and gives a sign-or-negotiate verdict, with a reminder that a lawyer should review anything material. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the NDA text and whether you're disclosing, receiving or both; the reply is laid out as “Checklist table: item, found, OK?”, “Issues and suggested edits” and “Verdict”.
