Process Summary

1. Discovery — Identify type, parties, jurisdiction. Load intake.md, ask questions. Cannot proceed without answers.
2. Structure — Define sections based on type. Check mandatory clauses.
3. Draft — Generate clause by clause. Offer alternatives for critical ones.
4. Review — Analyze risks, detect ambiguities, check coherence.
5. Negotiate — If multiple parties, track positions, propose compromises.
6. Finalize — Human approval required. Move to ~/contracts/{name}/ when signed.

See phases.md for detailed phase requirements.
