Claude skills for contract templates

Install document-assembly tooling for Claude that produces signable DOCX drafts from named standard forms, ready for practitioner and qualified-counsel review.

Open Agreements publishes named Claude skills for contract-template workflows. For services agreements, the services-agreement skill fills Common Paper and Bonterms forms and outputs Word DOCX files.

From named template to Word draft

A defined install-and-fill workflow for developers and legal practitioners.

1

Choose a named skill

Select a workflow such as services-agreement, employment-contract, nda, data-privacy-agreement, or venture-financing.

2

Fill a source form

The installed workflow collects the fields needed by its named standard-form template.

3

Review the DOCX

Open the generated Word document for practitioner and qualified-counsel review before execution.

Start with a specific contract workflow

Open Agreements exposes template workflows as named skills. The published skill list includes services-agreement, employment-contract, nda, data-privacy-agreement, cloud-service-agreement, venture-financing, and safe.

For a services-agreement workflow, install services-agreement. Its SKILL.md instructions expose four named templates:

  • Common Paper Professional Services Agreement
  • Bonterms Professional Services Agreement
  • Common Paper Independent Contractor Agreement
  • Common Paper Statement of Work

Those templates produce Word .docx files. The skill file states that the underlying templates retain their authors' CC-BY-4.0 or CC0-1.0 licenses.

Across the Open Agreements library, source forms include Common Paper, Bonterms, YC, and NVCA materials — standard forms published by those organizations rather than model-improvised text — the project's legal guides cite primary law, and the material is reviewed by Steven Obiajulu, J.D., an attorney admitted in New York. Developers can inspect the project and documentation at openagreements.org.

Built for assembly and review

The skill collects inputs, fills a selected form, and writes a DOCX draft. It is tooling for a practitioner workflow: the agent assembles the document, while people remain responsible for reviewing the draft and deciding whether it fits the transaction and jurisdiction.

This template is a drafter's starting point. It does not constitute legal advice. Have qualified counsel review before execution.
