general-counsel-advisor

General Counsel advisory for startups: contract review (MSA, SaaS, NDA, DPA, employment), IP strategy, term sheet decoding, and regulatory landscape mapping. Use when reviewing any contract or term sheet, deciding when to engage outside counsel, defining IP strategy, evaluating regulatory exposure (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, fintech), or when user mentions general counsel, GC, legal review, contract risk, term sheet, IP assignment, or regulatory exposure. NOT a substitute for licensed counsel — surfaces questions to bring to qualified attorneys.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable body: copy-paste script commands, four concrete workflows, a decision-oriented trigger table, and verified one-level references. Weaknesses are mild — an expendable Keywords section, some body/reference duplication, and missing validation checkpoints in the workflows.

Suggestions

Remove the Keywords section from the body — the frontmatter description already carries the trigger terms, so this section spends tokens without adding guidance.

Trim the inline regulatory trigger table and standard-contracts list to brief summaries that point to references/ip_and_regulatory.md and references/contracts_playbook.md, where the fuller versions already live, to reduce duplication.

Add a validation checkpoint to the workflows (e.g., in Workflow 2, step for handling schema-mismatch errors from term_sheet_analyzer.py, and in Workflow 1, verifying the scanner parsed the contract correctly) to close the feedback-loop gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and assumes domain competence (no padding explaining what an NDA or liquidation preference is in tutorial terms), but the standalone Keywords section and the restated opening line are trimmable, fitting 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' rather than score-5's 'every token earns its place'.

4 / 5

Actionability

Quick Start gives copy-paste-ready commands for both bundled scripts with and without arguments, workflows specify exact invocations ("python scripts/term_sheet_analyzer.py path/to/term_sheet.json"), and the Output Standard is a concrete fill-in template — fully executable covering the common cases, matching the score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Four workflows are clearly sequenced with numbered, specific steps and decision guidance ("Negotiate the worst 3 clauses"), but no explicit validation/feedback checkpoints exist (e.g., verifying scanner output or handling a term sheet that fails schema) — above score-3's implicit checkpoints but short of score-5's explicit validation loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are one level deep, real (all three files and both scripts exist in the bundle), and well signaled both inline ("See references/ip_and_regulatory.md") and in a footer list; however, the inline regulatory trigger table and standard-contract list substantially duplicate richer tables in ip_and_regulatory.md and contracts_playbook.md — good structure with minor placement gaps, not the clean split of score-5.

Description

96%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: concrete enumerated capabilities, an explicit Use-when clause with natural trigger keywords and synonyms, and a clearly stated scope boundary ("NOT a substitute for licensed counsel"). Only weakness is slight overlap risk on regulatory-exposure triggers with adjacent compliance skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates multiple concrete capabilities with subtypes — "contract review (MSA, SaaS, NDA, DPA, employment), IP strategy, term sheet decoding, and regulatory landscape mapping" — comprehensively covering the skill's stated scope, matching the score-5 anchor rather than score-4's 'minor gaps in coverage'.

5 / 5

Completeness

The first sentence explicitly states what the skill does and the "Use when..." clause gives concrete trigger scenarios plus user-mention keywords — the exact what+when pattern of the score-5 example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when ... user mentions general counsel, GC, legal review, contract risk, term sheet, IP assignment, or regulatory exposure" provides comprehensive natural terms including the synonym "GC" plus regime acronyms (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, fintech), matching the synonyms-inclusive score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The startup General Counsel niche with legal triggers (term sheet, IP assignment, contract risk) is mostly distinct, but "evaluating regulatory exposure (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, fintech)" carries minor overlap risk with a hypothetical privacy/compliance skill, fitting the score-4 'minor overlap risk' anchor rather than score-5's 'minimal conflict risk'.
