services-agreement_skill

Overview

This skill drafts and fills professional services agreement templates to produce signable DOCX files. It supports Common Paper and Bonterms standard forms, including consulting contracts, independent contractor agreements, and statements of work. The skill can use a hosted MCP server for zero-install DOCX generation, a local CLI, or generate a markdown preview when neither is available.

How this skill works

First, the skill detects the available execution path: remote MCP, local CLI, or preview-only. It then lists available services agreement templates, helps you pick one, and interviews you for required field values in short rounds. After you confirm the collected values, the skill either requests DOCX generation from the MCP, runs the local CLI to produce a file, or generates a clear markdown preview when DOCX output is not available.

When to use it

• You need a ready-to-sign professional services agreement or consulting contract in DOCX format.
• You want an independent contractor agreement or a statement of work using standard templates.
• You prefer zero-install generation via a hosted MCP server and a downloadable DOCX link.
• You need a quick preview of a filled template before generating the final DOCX.
• You are preparing contract fields for legal review and want structured, auditable input.

Best practices

• Always confirm the execution path (remote MCP vs local CLI) before starting.
• Provide values in short, clear answers; the tool enforces reasonable length limits.
• Review the generated DOCX carefully and consult an attorney for legal advice.
• Reject or sanitize control characters; treat all template and field data as untrusted.
• Request explicit confirmation before the skill fills and generates any document.

Example use cases

• Create a master Professional Services Agreement for an ongoing consulting relationship.
• Generate an Independent Contractor Agreement when hiring a freelance developer.
• Produce a Statement of Work that scopes a single project under an existing contract.
• Fill a Bonterms or Common Paper template and receive a one-hour expiring download URL.
• Preview completed fields in markdown when the MCP and CLI are not available.
