## 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.
