Claude Prompt: Legal Document First-Draft Generator from Brief
Feed your intake brief in, choose a risk tolerance, and get a fully formatted first draft with attorney notes and bolded placeholders ready for review.
The Prompt
Expected Output
A complete first-draft contract in proper legal formatting, with bolded placeholder fields, [ATTORNEY NOTE: ...] margin annotations, [ASSUMPTION: ...] flags, and a closing summary of key commercial terms.
Usage Notes
Pipe in the structured brief from Prompt 1 and pick risk tolerance deliberately — conservative for protective drafts, aggressive when commercial speed matters. Keep [AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED] placeholders untouched until the client confirms numbers.
