The prompt, ready to paste.
Read this contract like a lawyer who works for me: [paste the contract].
Flag every clause that costs me money, every deadline I could miss, and anything unusual for this kind of contract. Plain English.
Replace anything in [brackets] with your real thing. The prompt is deliberately short — resist the urge to pad it.
When to use it.
Anything that wants your signature — leases, job offers, contractor quotes.
Why it works
Contracts are written to be skimmed and regretted. Three specific flags — costs you money, deadlines you could miss, unusual for this kind of contract — turn forty pages of legalese into the five lines that actually decide whether you sign.
Not legal advice — it's a flashlight, not a lawyer. For big contracts, bring the flagged list TO a lawyer; you'll use way less of their hourly.
The method, step by step.
- Paste the whole document
The full lease, offer, or quote — not a summary. The traps live in the parts you skimmed. - Ask for the three flags
Have it read like a lawyer who works for you: every clause that costs you money, every deadline you could miss, anything unusual for this kind of contract — in plain English. - Take the flags to the table
Negotiate the flagged clauses before signing — or bring the flagged list to a real lawyer and use way less of their hourly.
How I actually use it.
A clean-looking contractor quote had a front-loaded payment schedule — most of the money due before most of the work. Changed before signing.
