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
-
Read the full contract. Use the Read tool if a file path is provided.
-
Identify all material clauses. Extract each numbered section or clause
that creates obligations, rights, restrictions, or liabilities.
-
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 |
