Plain Language for Legal Text
GaZmagik/iso-24495
Applies ISO 24495-2 style plain-language rules to contracts and legal writing, standardizing modal verbs without weakening enforceability.
Scan a contract you're about to sign in plain language — surface the clauses that could bite you, what they mean, and what to question or renegotiate.

What it does
Contract Red Flags is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Scan a contract you're about to sign in plain language — surface the clauses that could bite you, what they mean, and what to question or renegotiate. Use when asked to check this contract before I sign, what am I agreeing to, are there red flags in this agreement, or explain this contract's risky bits. Produces a plain-English flag list of the risky/unusual clauses (auto-renewal, lock-in, liability, IP, termination, fees), what each means for you, questions to ask, and suggested changes — flagging when it's…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules and Contract review. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to check this contract before I sign
- What am I agreeing to
- Are there red flags in this agreement
- Explain this contracts risky bits
Example prompts
- “/contract-red-flags”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read for the common traps. Auto-renewal/evergreen terms, long lock-ins and exit/termination terms, liability and indemnity, IP ownership…
- Translate to consequences. For each flag, say plainly what it means for the person ("they can cancel on 7 days' notice; you can't"), not…
- Separate dealbreakers from noise. Rank flags by real risk so the person knows what to fight for vs. accept.
- Give questions and edits. Offer specific things to ask and reasonable changes to request — most terms are negotiable if you raise them.
- Know the limit. Enforceability varies by jurisdiction and you're not giving legal advice — flag high-stakes or complex contracts for a…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Contract Red Flags loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Scan a contract you're about to sign in plain language — surface the clauses that could bite you, what they mean, and what to question or renegotiate. Use when asked to check this contract before I sign, what am I agreeing to, are there red flags in this agreement, or explain this contract's risky bits. Produces a plain-English flag list of the risky/unusual clauses (auto-renewal, lock-in, liability, IP, termination, fees), what each means for you, questions to ask, and suggested changes — flagging when it's important enough for a lawyer. Not legal advice.
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
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The contract — the text or the key clauses (paste what you can)
- The type & stakes — employment, lease, freelance/SOW, service, sale, NDA — and how much rides on it
- Your role — which side you're on
- Your concerns — anything specific worrying you
- Region — laws vary; affects enforceability and rights
Framework: Translate, Flag, Question
- Read for the common traps. Auto-renewal/evergreen terms, long lock-ins and exit/termination terms, liability and indemnity, IP ownership, non-competes, fee/late-charge clauses, unilateral change rights, and dispute/arbitration terms.
- Translate to consequences. For each flag, say plainly what it means for the person ("they can cancel on 7 days' notice; you can't"), not just the clause.
- Separate dealbreakers from noise. Rank flags by real risk so the person knows what to fight for vs. accept.
- Give questions and edits. Offer specific things to ask and reasonable changes to request — most terms are negotiable if you raise them.
- Know the limit. Enforceability varies by jurisdiction and you're not giving legal advice — flag high-stakes or complex contracts for a lawyer.

Output Format
Contract review: [type] · your side: [x] · stakes: [level]
Red flags (plain English)
| Clause | What it says | What it means for you | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| [name] | [plain summary] | [consequence] | 🚩/⚠️/ℹ️ |
Ask before signing: [clarifying questions]. Request these changes: [reasonable edits/removals]. Dealbreakers: [the ones to resolve or walk].
Not legal advice. Enforceability varies by jurisdiction. For high-stakes or complex agreements, have a qualified lawyer review it.
Quality Checks
- Flags the common trap clauses present in the contract
- Translates each into a real-world consequence, not legalese
- Ranks flags by severity (dealbreaker vs minor)
- Provides questions to ask and specific changes to request
- Flags when the stakes warrant a lawyer
- States it isn't legal advice / laws vary
Anti-Patterns
- Restating legalese without translating the consequence.
- Flagging everything equally with no severity.
- Missing the quiet killers (auto-renewal, unilateral change, arbitration).
- Asserting enforceability as fact across jurisdictions.
- Reassuring on a high-stakes contract that truly needs a lawyer.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Check this freelance contract before I sign it."
- "What am I actually agreeing to in this lease?"
- "Are there red flags in this employment offer's fine print?"
- "Explain the risky clauses in this service agreement."
- "This NDA feels one-sided — what should I push back on?"
