Contract Drafter

Draft a contract without letting the drafting agent silently rewrite the template. The template, parties, and terms are the only evidence; the agent assembles clause text, and deterministic code re-renders every baseline with the supplied values and reconciles the draft against it. A clause may differ from its rendered baseline only through a declared deviation with a reason.

This is not legal advice and does not replace counsel. It is an execution boundary for template fidelity: the receipt proves which template version was drafted, which terms were bound, and which deviations were declared.

Procedure

1. Admission requires a complete template (id, version, title, clauses with baselines), explicit parties, and every required_terms key present in terms. Missing evidence stops before the drafting agent runs.
2. Native data.digest binds the exact template, parties, and terms.
3. The drafting agent assembles clause text and declares any deviations.
4. Deterministic reconciliation re-renders each baseline with the supplied values ({{provider.legal_name}}, {{terms.fee_usd}}, and similar paths). A clause must match its rendered baseline exactly, or carry a declared deviation with a reason. Undeclared deviations, deviations that match the baseline anyway, unknown clause targets, unresolved placeholders, and missing clauses all refuse.
5. A drafted verdict carries the document and a send proposal gated on a human approver through send-as. delivery_performed is always false.

Output

contract_draft (runx.contract_draft.v1) carries decision, reason, the document or null, confirmed deviations with baseline and text, the gated send_proposal or null, validation, and the three input digests.

Inputs are template, parties, and terms.

Read template, parties, and terms from step inputs. Return draft_doc with title, clauses (each id, heading, text), and deviations as an array of clause_id plus reason entries. Render every placeholder from the supplied values; never invent parties, amounts, or dates. Match each baseline exactly unless a deviation is genuinely needed, and declare every deviation with its reason. Do not add clauses the template does not define and do not produce delivery instructions; delivery belongs to the gated proposal.
