Individual skill
clause-explainer
Explain a contract clause in plain English — what it means, who it favours, the realistic risk, and what to negotiate. Use when asked what a clause means, to decode legal language, explain a term in a contract, or assess whether a provision is standard or aggressive. Produces a plain-language translation, a who-does-this-favour read, a risk rating, and concrete redline suggestions. Not legal advice; confirm with counsel.

# Clause Explainer Skill
Most people sign clauses they don't fully understand. This skill translates a single clause into plain English, says who it really protects, rates the risk, and suggests how to push back. **Not legal advice — interpretation depends on the full contract and jurisdiction; confirm with a qualified lawyer.**
## Working from a brief
Given the clause text (or a description), **explain it fully anyway**. If only a clause *type* is named, explain the typical version and note it should be checked against the actual wording. Never refuse for missing surrounding context; flag what the rest of the contract could change.
## Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- **The clause text** (paste it) — or the clause type if text isn't available
- **Which side the reader is on** (the party signing, the drafter, etc.)
- **Contract type** (employment, SaaS, NDA, lease, services) for context
