Example session with this skill installed
Can you check this clause from my new SOW: "Contractor grants all rights and title to the Work Product to the Client immediately upon creation. Client may request unlimited revisions."

- Clause: "grants all rights... immediately upon creation"
- Risk: You lose ownership before being paid. If the client defaults, they own your work and you have no leverage.
- Suggested Redline: Change to "upon receipt of final payment."
Negotiate if possible
- Clause: "unlimited revisions"
- Risk: Uncapped scope creep.
- Question: "Can we define a specific number of revision cycles (e.g., two) included in this fee?"

About this skill
The problem
Freelancers often sign contracts with hidden traps like unlimited revisions, IP assignment before payment, or uncapped liability. Manually spotting these specific consulting risks in dense legal text is time-consuming and prone to oversight.
What it does
- Scans contract and SOW text for high-risk clauses specific to independent consulting.
- Identifies traps in payment terms, scope boundaries, and intellectual property ownership.
- Evaluates liability exposure and termination fairness.
- Provides suggested redlines or negotiation questions for every flag found.
- Groups findings by severity from minor notes to "sign-blocker" risks.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often provide generic legal summaries that miss the specific financial failure patterns of freelance work. This skill is pre-tuned to look for subtle phrasing like "unlimited revisions until satisfaction" or "net-60" terms that impact solo business cash flow and risk profile.
Use cases
- Reviewing a new Master Services Agreement (MSA) from a corporate client.
- Checking a Statement of Work (SOW) for scope creep and revision limits.
- Ensuring IP rights only transfer after the final invoice is paid.
- Identifying one-sided indemnification clauses before signing.
Known limitations
Does not provide jurisdiction-specific advice or review equity, investment, or employment agreements. Requires actual clause text rather than summaries for accurate scanning.
