Contract Analyzer
Analyzes contracts and agreements for risks, unusual terms, and missing clauses
About this skill
The "Contract Analyzer" is an AI agent skill designed to scrutinize legal documents like a meticulous business attorney. It guides the AI through a structured analysis process, starting with a quick summary that identifies the contract type, involved parties, key terms, and governing law. This initial overview helps contextualize the document for deeper review. The core functionality involves a comprehensive risk analysis, where the AI flags potential issues related to liability caps, indemnification, termination clauses, IP ownership, non-compete agreements, auto-renewal terms, payment schedules, confidentiality, force majeure, and data privacy. Each risk is categorized by severity (High, Medium, Low) and includes an explanation of the issue and suggested alternatives. Additionally, the skill instructs the AI to identify important clauses that are conspicuously absent from the document. Beyond risk identification, the skill generates a plain English summary of what the user is actually agreeing to, making complex legal jargon accessible. It concludes by outlining 3-5 top negotiation points, complete with suggested alternative language. This empowers users, particularly those who might be the smaller party in a negotiation, to understand their commitments, identify potential pitfalls, and advocate for more favorable terms, always emphasizing that the output is AI analysis, not legal advice.
Best use case
This skill is primarily for individuals, small businesses, or even larger organizations needing rapid, initial assessments of legal contracts without immediately engaging an attorney. It's ideal for reviewing common agreements such as NDAs, SaaS contracts, employment agreements, freelance terms, or partnership documents to identify potential pitfalls, clarify terms, and prepare for negotiations. It particularly benefits users who are often the "smaller party" in a negotiation, providing them with critical insights to understand their position and advocate effectively.
Analyzes contracts and agreements for risks, unusual terms, and missing clauses
Users should expect a structured report detailing contract summary, identified risks with explanations and suggestions, missing clauses, a plain English overview, and actionable negotiation points, always accompanied by an AI disclaimer.
Practical example
Example input
Analyze the attached PDF document, 'SaaS Agreement v1.2 - Acme Corp.pdf', and provide a comprehensive risk assessment, identifying missing clauses and key negotiation points. Assume I am the SaaS customer.
Example output
``` ## Contract Analysis: SaaS Agreement v1.2 - Acme Corp. **Risk Level: Medium** ### Summary *Type:* SaaS agreement *Parties:* Acme Corp (Provider) and [User's Company Name] (Customer) *Key Terms:* 36-month term, monthly subscription, 90-day termination notice *Governing Law:* Delaware, USA ### Risk Flags | # | Clause | Risk | Issue | Suggestion | |---|--------|------|-------|------------| | 1. | 7.2 | 🔴 High | Unlimited liability for Acme Corp. in case of data breach. | Cap liability to 12 months of service fees. | | 2. | 10.1 | 🟡 Medium | Indemnification clause is very broad, requiring customer to indemnify for actions of third parties. | Limit to customer's direct actions/negligence. | ### Missing Clauses - Data Portability/Exit Clause: No clear provisions for data retrieval upon termination. - Service Level Agreement (SLA): No defined uptime guarantees or remedies for downtime. ### Plain English You're agreeing to a three-year contract for Acme's software. Be careful about their ability to limit their responsibility if something goes wrong, while you might be on the hook for a lot. Exiting the contract could be difficult, and getting your data back might not be straightforward. ### Top Negotiation Points 1. **Limit Liability:** Propose capping customer's liability for data breaches to 12 months of fees. 2. **Narrow Indemnification:** Suggest revising clause 10.1 to limit indemnification to your direct negligence. 3. **Add SLA:** Request a clear Service Level Agreement with defined uptime and downtime remedies. *This is AI analysis, not legal advice. Consult an attorney for binding decisions.* ```
