Not a legal opinion. A better use of the thirty minutes you're paying your lawyer for.
The tool that reads a contract, flags the clauses worth a specific legal question, restates each in plain language, and hands you a prioritized list to bring to a qualified lawyer. It never tells you whether to sign.
A lawyer reading a contract cold has to find the issues and explain them from scratch. This tool does the second part first: it flags the clauses that commonly warrant a question, indemnification, termination asymmetry, IP assignment, non-competes, and restates each in plain language.
It does not tell you whether a clause is standard, fair, or safe to sign. That judgment belongs to a qualified lawyer who knows your jurisdiction and situation. This tool's entire output is a better set of questions for that conversation, nothing more.
The questions, ready before the call with counsel.
Same contract, same lawyer call, run two ways.
A freelance consultant is about to sign a services agreement with a new client and wants to prepare for a call with their lawyer before signing.
You ask Claude to review the contract. You may get a general summary of what it says, or, worse, an opinion on whether the terms seem reasonable, which is exactly the judgment that needs a licensed lawyer, not an AI.
Either way, you walk into the call with your lawyer without a specific list of what to ask, and the first fifteen minutes get spent finding the issues you could have brought in already flagged.
It flags the clauses worth a legal question and restates each plainly:
- →An uncapped indemnification clause, restated in plain language
- →A 12-month, industry-wide non-compete, flagged as broader than typical for a single-client engagement
- →A termination clause requiring 60 days' notice from the consultant but allowing immediate termination by the client
For each, a specific question for the lawyer, not "is this okay" but "is an uncapped indemnification clause typical for an agreement like this, and what would my actual exposure be," grouped by priority, with the process ending there. No verdict on whether to sign.
The cold version might have told you it looked fine. This gave your lawyer exactly what they needed to actually earn their fee.

How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude may give you a general summary of the contract, or worse, an opinion on whether it looks acceptable, which is legal judgment an AI should not be offering. This flags the specific clauses worth a question, restates each in plain language, and generates the exact prioritized questions to bring to a qualified lawyer. It never concludes with a view on whether to sign, only the questions to ask before you decide with counsel.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.

Contract Questions is a preparation tool for a conversation with a qualified lawyer. It is not legal advice, does not assess whether any clause is enforceable or advisable, and does not substitute for reviewing the contract with counsel licensed in your jurisdiction before you sign.
