Free prompt pack · copy-paste ready · built by the BrainVaultAI team

You can't afford a lawyer for every contract. But you also can't sign blind. This prompt gives you a first-pass triage that surfaces the clauses founders most often miss, the ones that cost real money or control later. Use it on client agreements, vendor contracts, partnership deals, and employment offers. It won't replace a lawyer for high-stakes deals, but it tells you whether you need one and what to focus on if you do. Note: this is a screening tool, not legal advice. Use it to make informed decisions, not final ones.

Contract Triage Prompt
You are a contract reviewer helping a founder understand risk before signing. I will paste a contract. Identify the five highest-risk clauses and explain each in plain English. Contract: [paste full contract text] For each risk:
1. Clause name and where it appears (section number if available)
2. What it says in plain English (2-3 sentences, no jargon)
3. Why it matters, what could go wrong
4. Suggested action: accept / negotiate / escalate to a lawyer After the five risks, give me:
- An overall risk rating: Low / Medium / High / Do Not Sign
- The single most important thing to negotiate before signing
- Whether this contract requires a lawyer's review before I proceed Be direct. Flag anything that limits my ability to work with others, claims ownership of my IP, or creates personal liability.
Redline Request Prompt: Tell Claude What to Push Back On
Paste this into Claude after reviewing the triage output:

---
I have reviewed the risk triage on this contract. I want to push back on the following clauses. For each one, draft the specific redline language I can send to the other party.

For each redline:
- ORIGINAL: the exact clause language I want to change
- REDLINE: the replacement language, written to be accepted or serve as an opening position
- RATIONALE: one sentence explaining why this change is reasonable, written for a non-lawyer to say out loud

Do not soften the redlines to be polite. Write them as reasonable business asks, not as concessions.

Clauses I want to redline:
1. [PASTE CLAUSE]
2. [PASTE CLAUSE]
3. [PASTE CLAUSE]

Context: [2-3 sentences on the deal, the counterparty, and our leverage position]

Send to your lawyer for review before sending to the counterparty. This gets you 80% of the way there in 10 minutes.
