What it does

Draft the data-rights clause for a fellow's first paid pilot. Run the three-part test — the data must be workflow exhaust, must compound with use, and must be covered by a clause signed at pilot #1 — then produce the actual clause language (data covered · retention · derived-data / compounding rights · training rights · survival on termination) with GCC/MENA jurisdiction points (residency, government-entity data, worker/sponsor consent) marked [Assumption] for counsel.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

8## What it does
9
10Takes one data source a fellow already has — the clause-gated moat seed YODA surfaced (section 03) — and returns two things: the three-part test applied to that data, and the actual clause language to put in pilot #1. The three-part test decides whether the data is worth a clause at all: it must be exhaust of the real workflow, it must compound as the product runs, and it must be locked by a clause signed at the first pilot. The first two legs come from YODA. This skill adds the third and the timing. The clause is not a generic NDA or the counterparty's standard vendor agreement — those protect the counterparty from you and usually delete your seed on termination. It is the inverse: the right to retain the exhaust, keep the data the product generates, train on it, and hold that corpus after the pilot ends. Signed at pilot #1, never bolted on later. No clause, no pilot.
11
12## The Icarus reframe
13
14The moat seed YODA found is worthless without the right to use it. Exhaust that compounds is the vendor's moat, not yours, until a signed clause makes it yours — so the clause is the third leg of the moat, not paperwork you handle later. Two things make it real. First, it is signed at pilot #1, because the right is cheapest before the data has visibly produced value, and consent you did not take up front cannot be retrofitted onto data you have already ingested. Second, the clause you actually need is the opposite of the one you will be handed: the counterparty's standard NDA or vendor DPA deletes your corpus on termination and forbids training, so signing it signs away the moat with your own signature. This skill drafts the inverse clause and flags every GCC/MENA legal specific as an [Assumption] for counsel — it never states jurisdiction law as fact.
15
16## When to use / When NOT
17
18Use when a fellow has a specific data source (named and banded by YODA, usually a P or clause-gated row) and a counterparty who can grant rights to it, and is heading into or negotiating pilot #1. Trigger phrases: "data rights", "what to sign at the pilot", "who owns the data", "data-rights clause", "can we keep and train on the pilot data".
19
20Do not use when:
21
22| Request | Belongs to |
23|---|---|
24| "Is the operator's telemetry even a moat seed, or can a model already reach it? Band our sources." | yoda-data-sourcing (section 03). That skill finds and bands the data and flags which rows are clause-gated. This skill drafts the clause for a row it already flagged. |
25| "Structure the whole pilot — scope, price, success metrics, kill criteria, conversion." | pilot-six-term-sheet (section 07). The data-rights clause is one of its six terms. This skill drafts that one term in depth; the term sheet carries it. |
26| "Design our moat — how it compounds and why the incumbent won't copy it." | moat-design-canvas (section 06). That sequences the moat's dated gates. This skill secures the legal right the data-advantage gate depends on. |

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈300
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.

6.3%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 63% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

12.7k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

13 files, 50.7 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md14.8 kB
  • template.md6.2 kB
  • examples/sample.md7.2 kB
  • tests/RESULTS.md5.3 kB
  • tests/rubric.json1.1 kB

  • tests/golden/05.md2.1 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 13 files you can review in full before installing. The Apache-2.0 licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/data-rights-clause/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/data-rights-clause/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/data-rights-clause" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/data-rights-clause ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/data-rights-clause "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/data-rights-clause" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/data-rights-clause" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/data-rights-clause/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
