In simple English
This tool helps you check legal contracts before you sign them. It works inside your AI coding assistant. You tell it which party you are in the deal. It reads your document and flags dangerous clauses and missing terms. It gives you exact replacement sentences to send back to the other side.
What it is
An open-source skill file that teaches AI coding tools how to analyze contracts using a standard legal dataset. It evaluates agreements against market benchmarks and outputs structured risk assessments.
What it is good for
Solo founders and builders who need to review NDAs, software agreements, or merchant contracts quickly without paying for expensive legal software.
- Knows the difference between being a buyer, seller, customer, or vendor.
- Flags dangerous clauses like hidden liabilities or automatic renewals instantly.
- Provides exact replacement text for contract clauses instead of vague advice.
- Requires an AI coding assistant like Claude Code or Cursor to run.
- Focuses mostly on United States law, so international contracts may need extra checks.
- Cannot replace a real lawyer for high-stakes business deals.
