Is the Contracts plugin free?+
Yes. The plugin and its underlying skill instructions are open source under the MIT licence. Access to ChatGPT or Claude may depend on your account, plan, region and workspace settings.
Do I need a paid ChatGPT or Claude account?+
That depends on the platform’s current plan rules, rollout, region and any controls set by your organisation. Check the interface available in your own account.
Does it provide legal advice?+
No. It is a drafting and analysis aid for legal professionals. Its output requires professional review and should be checked against the contract, current law and primary sources.
Does it work for every jurisdiction?+
Most skills are jurisdiction-neutral, but legal effect and enforceability can depend on governing law. The skills are designed to identify when jurisdiction or current legal research matters rather than assume the answer.
Can it review scanned PDFs?+
It can work with text the selected AI platform successfully extracts from a scan. Poor OCR, handwriting, tracked changes, tables, stamps or missing pages can affect the result, so check the extracted text and clause references.
Can it draft a complete agreement?+
Yes. The Contract Drafter produces a full agreement from instructions, negotiated terms or a supplied precedent. The quality of the draft depends on complete commercial instructions and appropriate legal review.
Can it compare two contract versions?+
Yes. The Clause Comparator identifies changes in wording and explains their practical or legal effect. It can compare draft rounds, a counterparty draft against a precedent, or the same clause across several agreements.
Can it find public precedents?+
The skills can help assess public contracts and model documents that you supply. They do not treat public wording as proof that a clause is current, fair or generally accepted.
Is my uploaded contract confidential?+
Installing the plugin does not create a confidentiality guarantee. Before uploading a document, check the selected platform’s current data controls, your client authority and your organisation’s AI-use policy.
Can I inspect or modify the skill instructions?+
Yes. The complete instructions are published in the GitHub repository under the MIT licence, so lawyers can inspect, test and adapt them.
Which mode should I use?+
In ChatGPT, use Chat for focused clause questions and Work for substantial document analysis where Work is available. In Claude, use Chat for focused questions and Cowork for longer document tasks. Every result still requires professional review.
How do I report an error or suggest an improvement?+
Open an issue in the GitHub repository with the affected skill, an anonymised example where possible and the result you expected.
