Today's Agent Skill: Contract Clause Flagger
What It Does
Reading contracts cover-to-cover is important but time-consuming, and critical clauses hide in dense legalese. This skill scans contracts and flags the clauses that actually affect your business — liability, termination, auto-renewal, and IP assignment.
How It Works
The Contract Clause Flagger reads a contract document and identifies high-impact clauses across categories that matter most to businesses: liability limits, indemnification, termination rights, auto-renewal terms, non-compete/non-solicit, IP ownership, payment terms, and data handling. Each flag includes a plain-English summary so non-lawyers understand what they are agreeing to.
How to Deploy It
Run this skill on any new contract before signing by uploading the PDF or pasting the text. For semi-autonomous use, integrate it into your contract review workflow so every incoming agreement gets flagged before it reaches a human reviewer — cutting review time by 60% or more.
