Contract Red Flags

Most people sign contracts they haven't really read — and the damage lives in the clauses they skimmed: auto-renewals, one-sided termination, liability waivers, IP grabs, hidden fees. This reads the agreement as a wary friend would, translates the risky bits into plain language, and tells you what to question or push back on before you sign — while being clear it's not legal advice and some contracts warrant a lawyer.

What This Skill Produces

• A plain-English flag list — the clauses that could hurt you, translated out of legalese
• What each means for you — the real-world consequence, not the wording
• Questions to ask — what to clarify with the other party before signing
• Suggested changes — reasonable edits or removals to request
• A severity read — which flags are dealbreakers vs. minor, and when the contract is big enough to warrant a lawyer
