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.

Target Users

- 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

Example Prompts

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.
Usage Guidance
This skill is descriptive-only and internally consistent, but it may prompt you to supply case facts or contract text. Do not paste privileged, confidential, or personally identifiable information unless you are comfortable with how those inputs will be stored and processed by your agent environment. Treat outputs as workflow aids — verify all legal conclusions with qualified counsel before relying on them. If you need stronger data protection, run the skill in a controlled environment, redact sensitive details before pasting, and confirm your agent's logging/retention policies.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: legal-clause-risk-spotter
Version: 1.0.0
The 'legal-clause-risk-spotter' skill is a purely descriptive, document-based workflow designed to provide legal checklists and frameworks. It contains no executable code (no handler.py or scripts), no network requests, and no instructions that attempt to exfiltrate data or bypass security controls. The content across SKILL.md, skill.json, and README.md is consistent with its stated purpose of assisting in contract review and includes appropriate legal disclaimers.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and metadata all describe a descriptive legal-workflow helper. The package requests no binaries, env vars, installs, or APIs — which is proportionate for a text-based checklist/issue-spotting tool.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only guidance for prompting, collecting user-provided context, and producing checklists/templates. It explicitly forbids code execution and external API/database access. Note: it expects users may paste facts/documents (which can be sensitive); that is expected for the use case but is a confidentiality consideration rather than an incoherence.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time, which aligns with the descriptive-only claim in ACCEPTANCE.md and SKILL.md.
Credentials
No credentials, environment variables, or config paths are requested. This is appropriate for a purely informational skill and reduces risk of credential exposure.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; disable-model-invocation is false (normal default). There is no indication this skill attempts to persist or modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:

/legal-clause-risk-spotter - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
