creator-deal-decoder
Decode a brand deal or UGC contract before signing — usage rights, exclusivity windows, whitelisting, payment terms, and kill clauses ranked 🔴🟡🟢 by what they can cost a creator, plus the counter-ask email. Use when a creator says 'is this brand deal fair', 'what does perpetual usage mean', 'they sent me a contract', or 'should I sign this collab agreement'. Produces a clause-by-clause decode, a money-math check on the rate, and a ready-to-send negotiation email. Not legal advice.

This skill decodes the document the way [[lease-decoder]] decodes a lease: plain language, severity-ranked, money math shown — and ends with the counter-ask email, because the first contract is a first offer. ## What This Skill Produces - A **clause-by-clause decode** in plain language, ranked 🔴 (can cost real money or your channel) / 🟡 (negotiate) / 🟢 (standard) - The **money math**: what the rate implies per deliverable *including* the exclusivity and usage you're actually selling — the rate is never just for the video - A **counter-ask email**, polite and specific, with the 2–3 changes that matter most and fallback positions - A **walk-away line**: the clause combination that makes this de

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
