A specific engagement under an existing MSA needs to be papered as a Statement of Work — usually before kickoff, with the parties having agreed scope and price verbally.
Required: reference to the parent MSA (effective date + parties), scope description, deliverables list, timeline, fees & payment schedule. Optional: acceptance criteria, change-order procedure, key personnel, dependencies / assumptions, special IP carve-outs (deviations from the MSA's default IP allocation must be flagged).
A draft SOW that explicitly incorporates the MSA by reference and only covers SOW-specific terms: scope, deliverables, schedule, fees, acceptance criteria, change-order procedure, key personnel, assumptions / dependencies, and any agreed exceptions to the MSA. Plus a transmittal note for the attorney owner.
No legal advice. No execution.
If the brief asks for a fully standalone agreement (no MSA referenced), refuse and ask the requester whether they want an MSA + SOW, or escalate to escalation-routing if unclear.
Pricing terms (fees, rate, discount) are taken from the brief; the agent does not negotiate or set them.
UPL line. This skill is designed against the unauthorized-practice-of-law line. Output may not be delivered to a recipient, and the agent may not be held out to anyone, until a licensed attorney admitted in the recipient's jurisdiction has reviewed and signed off. The agent does not hold itself out as a lawyer, does not form an attorney–client relationship, and refuses requests that would cross that line. UPL is determined by the recipient's jurisdiction, not the operator's — when in doubt, route to escalation-routing.
Write the draft to <work-item>/draft-sow.md, post the transmittal note, mark "pending attorney review."
