yc-saas-drafter
Drafts a customized Customer Agreement starting from the Y Combinator standard form SaaS template. Tailors the agreement through structured intake questions covering fee structure, data handling, ML rights, implementation services, and more. Applies 18 always-on defaults that transform the raw YC form into a professional starting point (renamed to "Customer Agreement", data privacy section added, warranty restructured, consolidated SLA/support exhibit, etc.). Produces a clean .docx and a lawyer-facing memo explaining every change from the YC standard. Use when user says "draft a SaaS agreement
npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill yc-saas-drafter-victor-wang --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Output Requirements The final .docx must read like a lawyer drafted it. The output must contain: - **Zero** YC drafting annotations (`*[Note:...]*`, `*[OPTIONAL:...]*`) - **Zero** placeholder scaffolding (`[OPTIONAL]` markers, option guides) - **Zero** unfilled template brackets — except deliberate `[TBD — description]` markers for values the user couldn't provide, documented in the memo The agreement title is "Customer Agreement" — NOT "SaaS Services Agreement". If any annotation, note, or non-TBD bracket appears in the output, the draft is not ready. Fix it before delivering. --- ## Workflow ### Step 1: Load References Before asking any questions, read all three reference files: - `references/intake-questions.md` — 15 question groups with branching and defaults - `references/decision-matrix.md` — maps answers to YC template actions (18 always-apply defaults, 12 conditional decisions, variable substitutions, raise-with-lawyer flags) - `references/supplementary-language.md` — pre-written clause text anchored by ID (always-apply blocks and conditional blocks) The decision matrix tells you WHAT to change. The supplementary language gives you the EXACT TEXT to insert. Do not improv

Run `npx skills add lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills --skill yc-saas-drafter-victor-wang --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
