Flag risks in a 50-page contract before signing
The poster uploaded a 50-page contract and Claude flagged an auto-renewal near the end and a liability term they would have missed.
What they did
The poster uploaded a 50-page contract PDF to Claude and used a prompt asking it to read the whole document, explain in plain English what they were agreeing to, list obligations and risks, say what a lawyer would flag as unusual or negotiable, and then name the three points to push back on hardest. Claude surfaced buried clauses, and the poster says a person should still bring a lawyer in for anything serious.
How it went
It flagged three issues the poster says they would have missed, including an auto-renewal near the end and a liability term they say was not standard. The stated limitation is that it is a prep step, not a substitute for legal review.
Worth knowing
The practical catch from the post is to use it to walk into a lawyer conversation knowing where the traps are, rather than relying on it alone.
