Clause Explainer Skill

Most people sign clauses they don't fully understand. This skill translates a single clause into plain English, says who it really protects, rates the risk, and suggests how to push back. Not legal advice — interpretation depends on the full contract and jurisdiction; confirm with a qualified lawyer.

Working from a brief

Given the clause text (or a description), explain it fully anyway. If only a clause type is named, explain the typical version and note it should be checked against the actual wording. Never refuse for missing surrounding context; flag what the rest of the contract could change.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• The clause text (paste it) — or the clause type if text isn't available
• Which side the reader is on (the party signing, the drafter, etc.)
• Contract type (employment, SaaS, NDA, lease, services) for context
• Any specific worry (e.g. "is this auto-renewal aggressive?")
