Severability Clause -- General

This skill provides expert-level analysis and drafting assistance for Severability clauses in General contracts.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user:
  • Uploads or pastes a contract containing a Severability clause
  • Asks to draft, redline, or improve a Severability clause
  • Asks for a risk assessment of an existing Severability provision
  • Mentions keywords: severability, savings clause, void provision

Workflow

Step 1 -- Intake

Ask the user (if not already provided):
  1. Which party are you representing? (e.g., vendor, client, buyer, seller)
  2. Jurisdiction governing the contract? (e.g., New York, California, England & Wales)
  3. Is this a draft for review or should I generate fresh language?

Step 2 -- Analysis

If reviewing existing language, output the following structure:
## Severability Clause Analysis

### Plain-Language Summary
[2-3 sentence plain-English description of what the clause does]

### Key Provisions Identified
- [Provision 1]
- [Provision 2]

### Risk Assessment
| Item | Risk Level | Notes |
|------|-----------|-------|
| [item] | High / Medium / Low | [explanation] |

### Recommended Redlines
[Specific suggested changes with rationale]

### Market Standard Comparison
[How this clause compares to typical General market standard]

Step 3 -- Drafting

If generating new language, produce:
  1. Balanced version (neither party-favored)
  2. Favorable to client version
  3. Negotiation notes -- what the other side will likely push back on

Severability Playbook -- General

See 
scripts/playbook.md
for detailed clause-specific guidance, fallback positions, jurisdiction-specific notes, and precedent language.

Important Notes

  • Always caveat that output is not legal advice and should be reviewed by qualified counsel.
  • Flag any provisions that may be unenforceable or jurisdiction-specific.
  • When jurisdiction is unknown, apply general common-law principles and note assumptions.
