SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders often sign vendor agreements, leases, MSAs, and NDAs without catching missing terms or dangerous clauses like personal guarantees, auto-renewals, and one-sided indemnification. This Skill runs a pre-signature triage so nothing binding goes unexamined and the founder knows exactly what to hand an attorney. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-Signature Checklist: Verifies party names, scope, payment terms, termination paths, IP ownership, confidentiality, liability limits, and governing law, marking each present, missing, or unclear. - High-Risk Clause Scan: Flags personal guarantees, auto-renewal with price escalation, exclusivity, uncapped indemnity, adverse IP assignment, and one-sided termination rights with plain-language explanations. - Attorney Escalation Verdict: Applies materiality thresholds and trigger rules to produce an "attorney review required" or "attorney review recommended" verdict plus a framed question list for counsel. - Use Case: A vendor sends a $36k two-year MSA and the founder is in a hurry. The Skill catches that the draft names the founder personally instead of the LLC, flags the auto-renew and uncapped indemnity, and routes the contract to an attorney before signing. ## Quick Start Review this vendor MSA before I sign it and flag any high-risk clauses or missing terms.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a contract before signing it?▼

Run a pre-signature checklist covering party names, scope, payment terms, termination paths, IP ownership, confidentiality, indemnification, liability limits, and governing law. This Skill marks each item present, missing, or unclear and flags high-risk clauses for attorney review.

What contract clauses are high risk for small businesses?▼

High-risk clauses include personal guarantees, auto-renewal with price escalation, exclusivity or non-compete terms, uncapped or one-sided indemnification, missing limitation of liability, and IP assignment away from your company. Any flagged clause triggers a recommendation for attorney review.

Can this Skill replace a lawyer for contract review?▼

No. The Skill provides guidance only, never legal advice, and never outputs a "safe to sign" verdict. Any binding, high-value, or flagged contract must be reviewed by a qualified attorney before signing.

Does contract triage work with only a summary of the agreement?▼

It works with reduced confidence. A summary-based triage cannot catch clause-level traps, so the Skill explicitly caveats the result and recommends supplying the full text or obtaining attorney review.

When should a contract be escalated to an attorney?▼

Escalate when the contract value exceeds your materiality threshold, any high-risk clause is flagged, a personal guarantee is present, or the document involves employment classification or IP assignment. Drafting, signing, or materially amending any binding contract is always an attorney trigger.

What are the limitations of automated contract triage?▼

The Skill never opines on enforceability or damages, never signs or accepts contracts, and treats missing or unclear clauses as gaps rather than passing them. Employment agreements, entity formation documents, and IP audits route to specialized skills plus counsel.
