# Legal Clause Risk Spotter

## Overview

Guides reviewers through identifying common risk patterns in clauses such as indemnity, liability, termination, IP, confidentiality, and governing law. This is a descriptive OpenClaw skill for legal-industry workflow support. It provides structured frameworks, checklists, templates, and issue-spotting prompts. It does not execute code, call external APIs, access legal databases, retrieve court records, automate filings, or perform legal services.

## When to Use

- Screening a draft agreement for risk
- Training junior reviewers
- Preparing a clause issue list

## Target Users

- Lawyers
- Contract managers
- Legal operations professionals

## Inputs to Collect

- Matter or project context, including jurisdiction if known
- Relevant facts, documents, parties, dates, and constraints
- Desired output format, audience, and level of detail
- Known deadlines, risk concerns, or review priorities

## Core Modules

1. **High-risk clause taxonomy** — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
2. **Clause-by-clause issue prompts** — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
3. **Business impact notes** — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
4. **Fallback language considerations** — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.
5. **Escalation criteria** — provides structured prompts, checklists, and review fields for this area.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the user's legal workflow goal and the relevant practice context.
2. Ask for missing facts, documents, dates, parties, jurisdiction, and audience where needed.
3. Apply the modules below as a structured thinking framework.
4. Produce checklists, templates, matrices, memos, or planning aids tailored to the user's context.
5. Flag uncertainty, verification needs, deadlines, ethics concerns, confidentiality issues, and attorney-review points.

## Expected Outputs

- Clause risk checklist
- Issue spotting matrix
- Escalation notes

## Example Prompts

- "Spot risks I should check in an indemnity clause."
- "Create a clause risk checklist for a master services agreement."

## Safety and Legal Limitations

- This skill provides informational workflow support only and is not legal advice.
- It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not replace review by a qualified attorney.
- Laws, court rules, deadlines, ethics duties, privilege, confidentiality, and professional responsibility rules vary by jurisdiction and matter.
- Users must verify all legal authorities, filing requirements, deadlines, facts, citations, and strategic decisions with qualified counsel.
- The skill must not be used to fabricate evidence, coach false testimony, evade regulation, access data unlawfully, or bypass confidentiality obligations.
- Specific limitation for this skill: Does not rewrite binding legal terms automatically; suggested considerations require attorney review.

## Acceptance Criteria

- Package is descriptive only: no handler.py, scripts, external APIs, network calls, or command execution.
- SKILL.md and README.md are English-first and include an explicit legal-information disclaimer.
- Outputs are frameworks, checklists, templates, or planning aids rather than legal conclusions.
- Includes target users, when-to-use guidance, inputs, workflow, outputs, examples, and safety limitations.
- skill.json contains unique slug, tags, trigger keywords, requires_api=false, and readiness=stable.
