nda-analyser Analyses a Non-Disclosure Agreement clause by clause and flags unusual terms, one-sided provisions, and negotiation points. Use when reviewing an NDA, mutual NDA, confidentiality agreement, or non-disclosure deed before signing or countering. Produces a plain English verdict, clause-by-clause risk analysis, and a prioritised negotiation checklist — always with a disclaimer that qualified legal advice is required before signing.

NDA Analyser Skill

NDAs are often treated as routine paperwork but contain terms with significant long-term consequences. This skill analyses them systematically.

Required Inputs

  • NDA text (paste in full or describe key clauses)
  • Your party position (disclosing / receiving / mutual)
  • Purpose of the NDA (e.g. pre-sales, hiring, M&A, partnership)
  • Industry context (optional)

Output Structure

1. NDA Type and Parties

  • Type: Unilateral / Mutual
  • Disclosing party: [Name]
  • Receiving party: [Name]
  • Purpose: [As stated]
  • Governing law: [Jurisdiction]
  • Term: [Duration of obligations]

2. Definition of Confidential Information

  • How broadly defined? Narrow / Standard / Very broad
  • Oral disclosures included? Yes / No / With conditions
  • Standard exclusions present? [public domain, prior knowledge, independently developed, legally required disclosure]
  • Flag: [Unusual inclusions or missing exclusions]

3. Key Clause Analysis

[Clause name] — Concern / Watch / Standard

  • What it says: [Plain English]
  • Issue: [Why flagged]
  • Standard position: [What this typically looks like]
  • Negotiation suggestion: [If applicable]

Clauses always covered: permitted use, non-solicitation/non-compete, term and post-termination obligations, return/destruction of information, remedies, liability, residuals clause.

4. Negotiation Checklist

Point Current position Suggested ask
[e.g. Confidentiality term] [e.g. 5 years] [e.g. Reduce to 2 years]

5. Plain English Verdict

2-3 sentences. Standard NDA, one-sided, or needs a lawyer?


WARNING: This analysis is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Consult a qualified solicitor before signing.

Quality Checks

  • Definition of confidential information assessed for scope (narrow / standard / very broad)
  • Residuals clause checked (allows memory use of disclosed information — high-risk)
  • Non-solicitation / non-compete provisions flagged
  • Post-termination obligations duration noted
  • Plain English verdict given (standard / one-sided / needs lawyer)
  • Disclaimer is included

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not present the analysis as legal advice — the disclaimer must appear prominently and the output must recommend qualified legal review before any signing decision
  • Do not skip the residuals clause check — residuals clauses allow the receiving party to use disclosed information from memory, which is one of the highest-risk provisions in any NDA
  • Do not evaluate only the clauses explicitly flagged by the user — a complete analysis must cover all standard clause types even if the user only asked about one
  • Do not assess breadth of the confidentiality definition without checking for oral disclosure coverage — oral disclosures with no written confirmation requirement are a common enforcement gap
  • Do not omit the plain English verdict — a clause-by-clause analysis without a summary conclusion leaves the user unable to act on the findings

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Analyse this NDA"
  • "Review this confidentiality agreement"
  • "Is this NDA standard or unusual?"
  • "What should I negotiate in this mutual NDA?"
