Mutual NDA draft

Overview

Draft and validate mutual NDAs with clear definitions, exclusions, term, and return/destruction. Ensures no one-sided obligations in a mutual NDA.

Getting Started

Add your NDA draft (or use the skill to draft from scratch) and activate the Mutual NDA draft skill. Run the validator to ensure definition, exclusions, term, return/destruction, and mutual balance.

Tools

• validate_nda — Checks for definition of confidential information, exclusions (e.g. public domain, independently developed), term/duration, return or destruction of materials, and flags one-sided obligations in a document labeled as a mutual NDA.

Example conversation

You: Draft a mutual NDA for our partnership with TechCorp. We’ll exchange product roadmaps and pricing. Standard 2-year term and return of materials on request.

Agent: I’ve created contracts/nda_techcorp.md with reciprocal definitions, standard exclusions, 2-year term, and return/destruction. Running the validator.

Agent: Validation: OK for definition, exclusions, term, return/destruction. Mutual structure detected; no one-sided language flagged.

You: Add a carve-out for information that was already in the public domain.

Agent: Added a public-domain exclusion to the exclusions section and re-validated — still OK.
