Write Contracts and Agreements from Templates

Open Claude (https://claude.ai) and start a new chat. Paste two blocks: ---TEMPLATE--- (Full template text, or at minimum every section that covers parties, fees, term, IP, liability, indemnity, confidentiality, and termination.) ---DEAL FACTS--- - Parties (legal names / entities): - Roles (who is client vs provider): - Scope in one sentence: - Fees and payment rhythm: - Term / project dates: - IP (assignment vs license, or unknown): - Termination / notice: - Notices / governing law (if known): - Non-negotiables or client email recap (optional): Then paste this instruction verbatim: "Output ONLY the following — no contract clauses, no drafted agreement language: 1) Bullets: every placeholder, blank, or bracketed field in the template. 2) Bullets: deal facts I actually provided above. 3) Bullets: facts that are missing or ambiguous. 4) Bullets: obvious mismatches (for example: fee in my facts vs label in the template). Do not draft contract wording. Mirror and gap analysis only."

In the same Claude chat, prompt: "Using only the mirror output from my previous message, build a Variable dictionary table with columns: Token | Your value | Source (fact vs template default vs unknown). Rules: - One legal name and one short role label per party (for example Company vs Consultant). Use those labels consistently in everything below. - Merge duplicate labels for the same commercial idea (Fee vs Compensation vs Project Fee). If two dollar amounts or dates must intentionally differ, say so explicitly."

In the same Claude chat, prompt: "Using the template text I pasted earlier and ONLY the Variable dictionary from your last reply, produce a filled first draft. Rules: - Keep the template's section order and headings verbatim. - Replace placeholders using the dictionary. - Do NOT add new sections or clauses. - Do NOT strengthen or rewrite legal language beyond filling blanks. - If something cannot be filled from facts, use [TBD – confirm] and add a short Open items list at the end listing each [TBD]."

In the same Claude chat, prompt: "On the filled draft above: (a) Contradiction check — dates, payment schedule vs fee, term vs termination, IP vs deliverables. List conflicts or state explicitly: none spotted — still verify manually. (b) Numbered Questions for counsel — max 10, plain English, prioritized. These must be questions, not rewritten clauses. (c) One short Disclaimer paragraph: business draft for negotiation/review, not legal advice; involve counsel for high-stakes deals. Do not suggest specific filings, registrations, or compliance actions unless they appeared in my template or I asked."

Open Google Docs (https://docs.google.com) → New document. Title: [Counterparty] — [Agreement type] — Draft [DATE] Paste: full filled draft, then Questions for counsel, then Disclaimer. Apply Heading 1 / Heading 2 to section titles if the template used headings. Skim for leftover [ brackets, TBD, TODO, or duplicate signature blocks. Optional: File → Print → Save as PDF for email attachment or e-sign upload. If numbering or a table breaks, fix once in Claude with: "Preserve section order; fix numbering or table markup only" — then re-paste.
