# Contract Analyzer

Review contracts to surface risks, key terms, and unusual provisions, then recommend negotiation actions.

## Contents
- `references/key-terms.md` -- full checklist of terms to extract by category
- `references/risk-flags.md` -- red/yellow flags, standards comparison, commonly missing clauses
- `references/output-template.md` -- the full analysis report format
- `references/examples.md` -- worked examples and best practices

## Workflow

1. Include this disclaimer in every output: "Legal Disclaimer: This is informational analysis only, not legal advice. Always consult with a qualified attorney for legal matters. Contract interpretation can be complex and jurisdiction-specific."
2. Identify the contract type (employment, independent contractor/freelance, NDA, service, partnership, software license, real estate, purchase).
3. Extract key terms across financial, duration/termination, intellectual property, liability/indemnification, and other critical categories. See `references/key-terms.md`.
4. Flag concerning clauses as red flags (high risk) or yellow flags (review carefully). See `references/risk-flags.md`.
5. Compare terms to industry standards: note deviations, one-sided provisions, and missing standard protections. See `references/risk-flags.md`.
6. Assess balance: determine whether obligations, penalties, and protections are reciprocal or favor one party.
7. Provide actionable recommendations: specific clauses to negotiate, alternative language, questions to ask, terms to add, and deal-breakers.
8. Format the report per `references/output-template.md`. For worked examples and best practices, see `references/examples.md`.
