Contract Template Skill
Overview
This skill enables creation of smart contract templates using Accord Project - an open-source framework for legally enforceable, machine-readable contracts. Create templates with embedded logic that can automate contract execution.
How to Use
- Describe the contract type and terms
- Specify variables and logic rules
- I'll generate Accord Project template
Example prompts:
- "Create an NDA template with variable terms"
- "Build a service agreement with payment milestones"
- "Generate a rental agreement template"
- "Design a consulting contract with termination clauses"

Template Syntax (TemplateMark)
# Service Agreement
This Agreement is made between [{supplier}] ("Supplier")
and [{buyer}] ("Buyer").
## Services
The Supplier agrees to provide [{serviceDescription}].
## Payment
The Buyer shall pay [{paymentAmount}] within
[{paymentDays}] days of invoice.
## Term
This Agreement begins on [{startDate as "MMMM DD, YYYY"}]
and continues for [{termMonths}] months.
{{#if latePenalty}}

A penalty of [{penaltyPercent}]% applies to late payments.
{{/if}}
Data Model (Concerto)
namespace org.example.service
import org.accordproject.time.*
asset ServiceAgreement extends Contract {
o String supplier
o String buyer
o String serviceDescription
o Double paymentAmount
o Integer paymentDays
o DateTime startDate
o Integer termMonths
o Boolean latePenalty optional
o Double penaltyPercent optional
}
transaction PaymentRequest {
o Double amount
o DateTime dueDate
}
transaction PaymentResponse {
o Double amount
o Double penalty
o DateTime paymentDue
}
Business Logic (Ergo)
namespace org.example.service
import org.accordproject.time.*
contract ServiceContract over ServiceAgreement {
clause payment(request : PaymentRequest) : PaymentResponse {
let dueDate = addDuration(request.dueDate,
Duration{ amount: contract.paymentDays, unit: ~org.accordproject.time.TemporalUnit.days });
let penalty =
if contract.latePenalty
then request.amount * contract.penaltyPercent / 100.0
else 0.0;
return PaymentResponse{
amount: request.amount,
penalty: penalty,
paymentDue: dueDate
}
}
}
