How to use the NDA Drafting Assistant agent skill (draft-nda)

What the draft-nda skill makes the agent do

Once installed, the agent drafts a full Non-Disclosure Agreement when you provide the two parties' names, addresses, representatives, the types of information to be shared, and the governing jurisdiction. The skill asks the agent to clarify a few points first, such as whether both parties are companies or one is an individual, and whether the sharing is one-way or mutual.

The draft follows standard sections: preamble, definitions, obligation to maintain confidentiality, permitted disclosures, term and duration, return or destruction of information, remedies, and general provisions. Each section is written in plain language, and clauses such as the standard of care, duration for different information types, and dispute resolution are marked with a legal-review warning.

• Output is presented as a summary, the full draft NDA, and customisation notes.
• The skill states it is informational only and that a licensed attorney should review the final document before signing.

Install the draft-nda skill

The skill is distributed as a ZIP file from the phuryn/pm-skills repository page on our directory. Download the ZIP, then unzip it into one of two locations depending on how you want to use it.

For a personal install across your projects, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into the .claude/skills/ folder inside that project. The skill's files, including SKILL.md, should end up in a draft-nda folder within the skills directory.

If you use the Claude apps instead, you can upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills rather than unzipping it by hand.

• Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
• Project: .claude/skills/ inside your project folder
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills (upload)

Trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need a special command. The skill's description says it applies when you are creating confidentiality agreements or preparing an NDA for a partnership, so asking the agent in those terms should activate it.

Include the details the skill needs in the same message or in follow-up messages: each party's full name and address, representatives with titles, the information to be shared, and the governing jurisdiction.

• "Draft a mutual NDA between Acme Ltd and Northwind Inc. for a partnership discussion. Governing law: England and Wales."
• "I'm talking to an investor next week. Prepare a one-way NDA covering our business plan and pricing data."
• "Create a confidentiality agreement for a supplier who will see our technical specifications."

What to provide to get a useful draft

The skill is built around a fixed set of inputs. The more specific you are, the less the agent has to guess, and the more the output reflects your situation rather than a generic template.

The information types matter most. The skill uses them to make the agreement specific, so 'business plans, customer lists, pricing data' will produce a more targeted draft than 'confidential stuff'.

• First party: name, address, representatives and titles
• Second party: name, address, representatives and titles
• Information types to be shared
• Governing jurisdiction, for example 'State of California, United States' or 'England and Wales'

Read the draft and handle the legal-review flags

Treat the output as a structured first draft. Read the cover note, then the full document, then the notes on key clauses. Every item marked with the legal-review warning needs a decision or a check by a qualified lawyer.

The skill's own guidance is that NDAs are legally binding and that jurisdictions vary widely, so a lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction should review the document before anyone signs.

• Standard of care (flagged for legal review)
• Duration for different information types, such as trade secrets (flagged)
• Remedies and injunctive relief (flagged)
• Dispute resolution: litigation, arbitration or mediation (flagged)

Safety notes: scripts and network access

According to the skill listing, draft-nda runs no scripts and uses no network access. It lists no required tools or packages. The skill is a set of written instructions in a single file, SKILL.md, so it does not install software or send your data to a remote service on its own.

Your agent platform may still send your prompts to its model provider as part of normal use. Avoid pasting information you are not permitted to share, and remove any sensitive details you do not need in the draft.

• Runs scripts: no
