# Contract Clause Explainer

What this actually commits you to, in English.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Paste the clause** (longer free text)
- **Contract type** (free text, e.g. "Employment")
- **Which side am I** (choose one: The one being bound, The one benefiting, Both ways, Cannot tell)
- **What I'm worried about** (longer free text)
- **Governing law, if stated** (free text, e.g. "Jurisdiction")

## Prompt template

{{Paste the clause}}

Contract type: {{Contract type}}
Which side am I: {{Which side am I}}
What I'm worried about: {{What I'm worried about}}
Governing law, if stated: {{Governing law, if stated}}

Rewrite it in plain English with every condition intact. Then a concrete example of the situation where this clause would actually bite.

Tell me if anything here is unusual or one-sided compared to what is normal for this kind of contract, and suggest alternative wording if it is negotiable.

This is an explanation, not legal advice. Say clearly if it needs a solicitor.
