Contract Red Flags

Q: How do I know the Contract Red Flags output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Flags the common trap clauses present in the contract; Translates each into a real-world consequence, not legalese; Ranks flags by severity (dealbreaker vs minor); Provides questions to ask and specific changes to request.

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.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Check this freelance contract before I sign it.”“What am I actually agreeing to in this lease?”“Are there red flags in this employment offer's fine print?”“Explain the risky clauses in this service agreement.”“This NDA feels one-sided — what should I push back on?”

What to give it

▸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 specific worrying you

▸Region — laws vary; affects enforceability and rights

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Flags the common trap clauses present in the contract

✓Translates each into a real-world consequence, not legalese

✓Ranks flags by severity (dealbreaker vs minor)

✓Provides questions to ask and specific changes to request

✓Flags when the stakes warrant a lawyer

✓States it isn't legal advice / laws vary

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Restating legalese** without translating the consequence.

**Flagging everything equally** with no severity.

**Missing the quiet killers** (auto-renewal, unilateral change, arbitration).

**Asserting enforceability** as fact across jurisdictions.

**Reassuring on a high-stakes contract** that truly needs a lawyer.
