contract-red-flags
Scan a contract you're about to sign in plain language — surface the clauses that could bite you, what they mean, and what to question or renegotiate. Use when asked to check this contract before I sign, what am I agreeing to, are there red flags in this agreement, or explain this contract's risky bits. Produces a plain-English flag list of the risky/unusual clauses (auto-renewal, lock-in, liability, IP, termination, fees), what each means for you, questions to ask, and suggested changes — flagging when it's important enough for a lawyer. Not legal advice.

# Contract Red Flags Most people sign contracts they haven't really read — and the damage lives in the clauses they skimmed: auto-renewals, one-sided termination, liability waivers, IP grabs, hidden fees. This reads the agreement as a wary friend would, translates the risky bits into plain language, and tells you what to question or push back on before you sign — while being clear it's not legal advice and some contracts warrant a lawyer. ## What This Skill Produces - **A plain-English flag list** — the clauses that could hurt you, translated out of legalese - **What each means for you** — the real-world consequence, not the wording - **Questions to ask** — what to clarify with the other party before signing - **Suggested changes** — reasonable edits or removals to request - **A severity read** — which flags are dealbreakers vs. minor, and when the contract is big enough to warrant a lawyer ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The contract** — the text or the key clauses (paste what you can) - **The type & stakes** — employment, lease, freelance/SOW, service, sale, NDA — and how much rides on it - **Your role** — which side you're on - **Your concerns** — anything
