Equity Grant Record

Port-original skill. Hand-authored for Legal & Contracts. Owned by cap-table-maintainer.

When to fire

A new equity grant (option / RSU / restricted stock) is being recorded. Distinct from cap-table-maintain because the grant has its own document trail (grant agreement, option agreement, RSU agreement, 83(b) election if applicable) that must be linked.

Inputs

Required: grantee, grant type (ISO / NSO / RSU / restricted stock), share count, grant date, vesting schedule, board consent reference, 409A / FMV reference. Optional: exercise price (for options), 83(b) election filing deadline (for restricted stock), cliff details, acceleration provisions, post-termination exercise window.

Outputs

A grant record:

grant:
  id: <slug>
  grantee: <name>
  type: ISO | NSO | RSU | restricted-stock
  share_count: <N>
  share_class: <Common / etc.>
  grant_date: <ISO>
  exercise_price: <USD or "n/a">
  fmv_reference: <409A ref + date>
  vesting:
    schedule: <e.g., 4-year monthly with 1-year cliff>
    commencement_date: <ISO>
    cliff_date: <ISO or "n/a">
    acceleration: <single-trigger / double-trigger / none>
  documents:
    - grant_agreement: <ref>
    - notice_of_grant: <ref>
    - 83b_election: <ref or "n/a">
  consent_ref: <board-consent-id>
provenance:
  attorney_owner: <name>
  status: proposed   # never "issued" until attorney signs off

How to record

1. Verify all required fields are present and self-consistent (ISO ≤ $100K-per-year limit, RSU has no exercise price, restricted stock includes 83(b) reminder if applicable).
2. Verify the 409A / FMV reference is current and predates the grant date.
3. Verify the board consent reference exists and covers this grant.
4. Compute downstream effects on the option pool and queue cap-table-maintain as a follow-up.
5. If the grant is to a non-US recipient, flag for attorney review (tax + securities-law overlay varies materially).

Boundaries

• No tax or securities advice. The agent records; the attorney interprets.

• Missing 409A / FMV reference → refuse and route via escalation-routing.

• 83(b) filing window (30 days from grant date for restricted stock) is the grantee's responsibility; the agent reminds the attorney owner to ensure the grantee is informed but does not file on their behalf.

• 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.

Output protocol

Write the grant record to equity/grants/<date>-<grantee-slug>.yaml. Post a comment naming the record and the attorney who needs to sign off. Queue cap-table-maintain as a follow-up.
