What this skill does
Risk Analysis — Clause-by-Clause Risk Scoring Standalone deep-dive skill that scores every material clause in a contract against ten risk categories, flags poison pills, and estimates financial exposure. Designed to surface the clauses that could cost the most money or create the most liability. 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. Instructions 1. Read the full contract. Use the Read tool if a file path is provided. 2. Identify all material clauses. Extract each numbered section or clause that creates obligations, rights, restrictions, or liabilities. 3. Score each clause across 10 risk categories (1 = minimal risk, 10 = extreme risk): # Category What to Evaluate --- ---------- ------------------ 1 Financial Liability Uncapped damages, liquidated damages, penalty clauses 2 Indemnification Scope, carve-outs, caps, duty to defend vs. hold harmless 3 Intellectual Property Work-for-hire, assignment breadth, background IP protection 4 Termination For-cause vs. convenience, cure periods, termination fees 5 Non-Compete / Non-Solicit Duration, geographic scope, industry breadth 6 Confidentiality Duration, scope of "confidential," residual knowledge carve-outs 7 Limitation of Liability Cap amount, exclusion of consequential damages, mutual vs. …
