SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Quick Start

Run /cs:gc-review on the attached term sheet to identify the top legal risks before signing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a term sheet before signing as a founder?

Run the gc-review command on the term sheet to apply six General Counsel questions covering IP, liability, data, termination, regulatory, and equity terms. It outputs a risk-rated issues table and a sign, negotiate, or do-not-sign verdict.

What legal risks should I check in a customer contract?

Key risks include uncapped liability and IP indemnity carve-outs, missing data processing agreements, auto-renewal clauses with long notice periods, and unclear IP ownership. The review flags the top three issues needing outside counsel.

Does this replace hiring a lawyer for contract review?

No. The skill explicitly states it is not legal advice and only surfaces the right questions before engaging qualified counsel. It generates outside counsel action items for binding decisions.

When should I run a General Counsel review on a deal?

Run it before signing contracts over $100K or one year, issuing equity grants, responding to term sheets, entering regulated markets like healthcare or fintech, making open-source license decisions, or signing M&A letters of intent.

Can I automate contract risk scanning with Python?

Yes. The companion general-counsel-advisor skill provides contract_risk_scanner.py, which detects 12 founder-killer patterns, and term_sheet_analyzer.py, which scores term sheets 0-100 for founder-friendliness.
