contract-template

The contract-template skill enables the creation of smart legal contract templates using Accord Project, an open-source framework for legally enforceable and machine-readable contracts. It helps users design reusable contract structures that combine natural language clauses with structured data models and executable business logic. By supporting template-driven contract generation, this skill simplifies the process of creating consistent legal agreements while enabling automation of contract execution workflows such as payment calculations, penalties, and rule-based conditions. The skill is intended to reduce manual drafting effort and improve standardization across legal and business documents.

The skill provides support for multiple components required to build Accord Project templates, including TemplateMark syntax for natural language contracts, Concerto data models for structured contract data, and Ergo logic for executable business rules. It also integrates with MCP tools such as create_docx and fill_docx_template for document generation workflows. Users can define variables, conditional clauses, payment rules, dates, and other contractual logic directly inside templates. The documentation also includes examples of template structure, CLI usage with Cicero, and examples for agreements such as service contracts and NDAs.

This skill is useful for legal teams, contract managers, consultants, procurement departments, and developers building automated agreement systems. It can be applied to use cases such as non-disclosure agreements, rental agreements, consulting contracts, service agreements, and milestone-based payment contracts. Organizations seeking standardized contract automation or machine-readable legal documents can use this skill to create reusable and extensible contract templates compatible with Accord Project tooling.
