# Contract Analyzer

Navigate complex contracts by systematically identifying key terms, potential risks, and negotiation opportunities. Understand what you're agreeing to before you sign.

## Core Workflows

### Workflow 1: Contract Review
1. **Document Intake** - Load contract and identify type
2. **Key Terms Extraction** - Pull critical dates, amounts, parties
3. **Obligation Mapping** - List what each party must do
4. **Risk Flagging** - Highlight concerning clauses
5. **Summary Generation** - Create executive summary

### Workflow 2: Risk Assessment
1. **Liability Analysis** - Identify exposure and limitations
2. **Termination Review** - Understand exit conditions
3. **IP Provisions** - Flag IP assignments or licenses
4. **Risk Rating** - Score overall contract risk

## Quick Reference

| Action | Command |
|--------|---------|
| Review contract | "Analyze this [contract type]" |
| Key terms | "What are the key terms?" |
| Identify risks | "What are the risks?" |

Overview

This skill reviews contracts to identify key terms, obligations, risks, and negotiation opportunities so users can make informed decisions before signing. It produces concise executive summaries, extracts critical dates and amounts, and highlights clauses that warrant attention or renegotiation. The focus is practical: fast intake, clear flags, and actionable recommendations.

How this skill works

Load or paste the contract text and the skill detects the contract type and extracts structured data such as parties, effective date, term, payment amounts, and renewal conditions. It maps obligations by party, flags high-risk clauses (liability caps, indemnities, termination triggers, automatic renewals, IP assignments), and generates a risk score and prioritized negotiation points. The output includes a short executive summary and a checklist of next actions.

When to use it

  • Before signing a new vendor, service, or SaaS agreement
  • When renewing or amending an existing contract
  • During due diligence for acquisitions or investments
  • To prepare negotiation briefs for legal or procurement teams
  • When auditing a portfolio of contracts for compliance or risk

Best practices

  • Provide the full contract text and any referenced exhibits or SOWs for accurate extraction
  • Specify which clauses you care about (e.g., IP, liability, data privacy) to tailor the review
  • Use the obligation map to assign internal owners and follow up on high-priority items
  • Treat the tool as a risk-flagging assistant, not a substitute for legal advice on complex matters
  • Iterate: run reviews on updated drafts to track how risk and obligations change

Example use cases

  • Quickly surface auto-renewal clauses and required notice periods before a subscription renews
  • Compare liability and indemnity exposure across competing vendor proposals
  • Extract deliverable milestones and payment schedules to create an internal tracking checklist
  • Flag IP assignment language in contractor agreements during hiring or vendor onboarding
  • Generate an executive one-page summary for leadership prior to contract approval

FAQ

Can this replace legal review?

No. The skill identifies risks and produces actionable recommendations, but complex legal interpretation and final decisions should involve qualified counsel.

What formats are supported?

Pasteable text and common document formats work best; include exhibits and referenced documents for full context.
