## What it does

The plugin runs two checks. The contract risk scanner looks for 12 patterns that hurt founders: auto-renew traps, uncapped indemnity, vague IP wording, MFN pricing, a missing DPA, one-sided venue, broad non-solicit, perpetual license-back. The term sheet analyzer scores founder-friendliness from 0 to 100 across 12 dimensions, among them liquidation preference, anti-dilution, option pool, board, vesting, drag-along, protective provisions, information rights, dividends and valuation.

Three references ship with it: a contracts playbook covering 7 startup contract types, an IP and regulatory map (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, fintech, EU AI Act, plus SOC 2 to ISO sequencing), and a term sheet decoder with a glossary and founder-friendly defaults. It installs standalone, and the same skill is bundled in `c-level-skills`; `scripts/sync_skill_bundles.py` keeps the two copies aligned.

This is a triage layer, not legal advice. It catches obvious traps before you hand documents to licensed counsel, and binding decisions still belong there. No dependencies beyond the Python standard library.
