What problem does it solve?
Founders and executives often sign contracts, term sheets, or equity grants without spotting clauses that create major legal exposure, such as uncapped indemnities, auto-renewal traps, or missing IP assignments. This Skill applies a structured General Counsel review before any binding commitment.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Six-Question Legal Framework: Systematically checks IP ownership, liability and indemnity, data processing, termination and renewal, regulatory surface, and employment/equity terms.
- Structured Risk Output: Produces a markdown report with an issues table (risk-rated), regulatory triggers, outside counsel action items, and a sign/negotiate/do-not-sign verdict.
- Tool Integration: Routes to Python utilities for automated contract risk scanning (12 founder-killer patterns) and term sheet scoring (0-100 founder-friendliness).
- Use Case: Before signing a $200K customer MSA, run the review to flag an uncapped IP indemnity and a 5-year auto-renewal, then generate a negotiation counter-list for outside counsel.
