PROMPT

Create a skill called "Template Filler" for a lawyer. Maintain a library of my document templates — engagement letters, NDAs, motions, discovery requests, corporate resolutions, demand letters, and any other templates I upload. Each template uses field markers like {{ClientName}}, {{AdverseParty}}, {{EffectiveDate}}, {{MatterNumber}}, etc. When I need a document, I'll tell you which template and provide the data (or point you to existing matter data). Populate every field throughout the document. Handle conditional sections — for example, an engagement letter might include a contingency fee section only for PI cases. Support batch generation — given a data set, generate multiple documents (e.g., subpoenas for a list of witnesses). Output as a Word document.

How It Works

Your firm has templates for everything — engagement letters, NDAs, motions,

discovery requests, corporate resolutions. This skill fills them all from

a single set of inputs, consistently and completely.

What You Get

  • Template library with version tracking
  • Auto-population from intake data, matter info, or manual input
  • Smart field mapping (client name fills everywhere it appears)
  • Conditional sections (include/exclude clauses based on matter type)
  • Output in Word format ready for review and editing
  • Batch generation (multiple documents from the same data set)

Setup Steps

  1. Upload your templates with field markers
  2. Map fields to your common data sources
  3. When you need a document, provide the matter data
  4. Review the populated document

Tips

  • Mark template fields consistently — use {{ClientName}}, {{EffectiveDate}}, etc.
  • Build templates for your most-used documents first — engagement letters, NDAs, standard motions
  • Use conditional sections for practice-area variations in engagement letters
  • Always run Draft Error Checker on the output before sending
