Description

Performs deep clause-by-clause risk scoring across 10 categories with poison pill detection and financial exposure estimation. Use when a user needs to understand the specific risks in a contract before signing. Trigger with "/risk-analysis" or "what are the risks in this contract".

Overview

Every contract contains trade-offs. This skill systematically identifies which trade-offs are reasonable and which are dangerous by scoring clauses on a 1-10 severity scale across ten categories. It specifically hunts for "poison pills" — clauses that appear innocuous but create disproportionate risk when triggered. Unlike a general review, this skill produces a quantified risk profile: a heat map of where the danger lives, what it could cost, and what to do about it.

Prerequisites

• A contract must be provided as a file path or pasted text. • The user should ideally specify which party's perspective to analyze from (e.g., "I am the service provider" or "I am the client"). If not specified, the analysis defaults to the party that did not draft the contract.

Examples

Example 1 — SaaS Agreement risk analysis: > User: Analyze the risks in this SaaS agreement. I am the customer. ` Top Risks: • Section 9.3 — Indemnification: 9/10 Customer indemnifies vendor for "any claims arising from use" with no cap. Exposure: Potentially unlimited. Negotiate mutual indemnification with cap. • Section 14.1 — Unilateral Amendment: 8/10 "Company may modify terms with 30 days notice." No opt-out except termination. Poison pill: effectively allows price increases mid-term. Negotiate: Require mutual consent for material changes. • Section 5.2 — Data Ownership: 8/10 "Customer grants Company a perpetual, irrevocable license to use Customer Data for product improvement." Survives termination. Negotiate: Limit to anonymized, aggregated data only. Overall Risk Rating: HIGH ` Example 2 — Employment agreement: > User: What are the risks in ~/contracts/offer-letter.pdf? I am the employee. ` Poison Pill Detected: Section 12(c) — "Inventions Assignment" includes work created "using any Company equipment" with no time-of-day limitation. Combined with Section 3(a) requiring use of company laptop, this effectively assigns ALL inventions to employer — including personal side projects. `
