LEGALCODE

Use Case

Screen NDAs in minutes, not days — without uploading a single document.

Non-disclosure agreements are routine, but risks hide in standard-looking language. Legalcode's NDA review skill teaches your AI agent to read an NDA the way a senior transactions lawyer would — checking mutual vs. one-way obligations, carve-outs, residuals clauses, jurisdiction of governing law, and enforceability of non-solicitation provisions.

Your documents stay local

Unlike web-based contract review platforms, Legalcode never sees your NDAs. Your AI agent reads the agreement from your local filesystem and queries Legalcode only for the legal rules — the NDA text itself never leaves your device. Combine NDA review with your matter files, term sheets, and deal correspondence all in one local session.

  • Documents never leave your machine — no uploads to third-party services
  • Zero data retention on search content — queries are not logged or stored
  • Combine Legalcode with your local files, tools, and workflows in one environment
  • Works inside your existing AI agent — Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the NDA in your local environment

    Point your AI agent to the NDA file on your device — in Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. The agreement stays on your machine; only legal framework queries reach Legalcode's servers.

  2. 2

    Skill activates structured analysis

    The NDA Review skill runs a structured checklist: party obligations, definition of confidential information, exclusions, term and survival, governing law, and jurisdiction-specific red flags.

  3. 3

    Flagged issues surface with citations

    Each concern is annotated with the clause reference and, where relevant, a link to the applicable statute or case law via Legalcode's legal data layer.

  4. 4

    Review or negotiate

    Accept the analysis, ask the agent to suggest alternative language, or route flagged items to a lawyer for sign-off — all within your existing workflow, with your local files at hand.

What it produces

  • Summary of party positions and obligations
  • Clause-level risk flags with severity (high / medium / low)
  • Jurisdiction-specific enforceability notes
  • Suggested redline language for non-standard provisions
  • Export-ready markdown or structured JSON

FAQ

Does Legalcode store the NDA text I'm reviewing?
No. Legalcode operates with zero data retention on search content. Your NDA text stays on your local machine — the agent queries Legalcode only for legal rules and standards. Nothing is logged, stored, or used for model training.
How is this different from web-based contract review tools?
Web SaaS tools require you to upload your NDA to their servers. With Legalcode, your AI agent reads the document from your local filesystem and queries only the legal framework. Your confidential agreement text never leaves your device — and you can combine the review with your other local files, emails, and deal documents in one session.
Can this replace a lawyer for NDA review?
The skill is designed to augment legal review, not replace it. It performs a structured first-pass that flags issues and reduces review time — the final call on risk acceptance belongs with your legal team.
Which NDA types does the skill cover?
The skill covers mutual NDAs, one-way NDAs, employee confidentiality agreements, and vendor NDAs. It applies jurisdiction-specific analysis for the governing law clause detected in the document.
