Claude skill for employment agreements
Install tooling for Claude that produces signable DOCX hiring documents — an employment offer letter (with state-specific variants), an employee IP and inventions assignment, and a confidentiality acknowledgement — for practitioner review.
The employment-contract skill gives developers and legal practitioners an installable workflow for producing DOCX hiring documents — an offer letter, an IP and inventions assignment, and a confidentiality acknowledgement — each subject to qualified-counsel review. Open Agreements does not publish a single general-purpose employment agreement template.
A builder-facing employment document workflow
Install the tooling, assemble a draft, and keep human legal review in the loop.
Install the skill
Add the named employment-contract skill to a compatible agent with one npx command.
Supply drafting inputs
Give the installed workflow the party and role details needed to fill the chosen document.
Review the DOCX draft
Open the generated Word document and route it to qualified counsel before execution.
What gets installed
The employment-contract package is a named agent skill. Open Agreements skills combine SKILL.md workflow instructions with template tooling that produces Word .docx drafts. The legal guides are Markdown documentation and carry citations to primary law.
This is document-assembly infrastructure for developers and legal practitioners. It gives an agent a defined workflow and a real document output instead of relying on an unstructured request to “write an employment contract.” The template material is reviewed by Steven Obiajulu, J.D., an attorney admitted in New York — his name is attached so anyone who wants to confirm the review can reach him.
What the skill does
After installation, the skill guides the agent through collecting drafting inputs and producing a signable DOCX draft for review. The intended handoff is a Word document that a practitioner can inspect, revise, and send to qualified counsel—not an answer about what employment law requires in a particular state or country.
Which documents are actually available
The skill draws on the published Open Agreements template inventory for hiring paperwork:
- Employment offer letter — including state-specific variants for California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas
- Confidentiality and invention assignment agreement (CIIAA) — the employee IP/inventions assignment and confidentiality terms
- Founder IP and confidentiality confirmation
Open Agreements does not currently publish a single general-purpose "employment agreement" document. If you need one, the offer letter plus the CIIAA is the combination the library supports today.
The broader open-source template library is documented at openagreements.org.
This template is a drafter's starting point. It does not constitute legal advice. Have qualified counsel review before execution.
