The prompt

Role: Act as a contracts manager preparing a first-pass draft of a commercial agreement for legal review. Context: Agreement type: [AGREEMENT_TYPE]. Parties and roles: [PARTIES]. Agreed commercial terms (term sheet): [TERM_SHEET]. Our contracting playbook positions and fallbacks: [PLAYBOOK]. Governing law and any regulatory overlay: [LAW_REGULATORY]. Deal-specific risks: [DEAL_RISKS]. Template or precedent to base it on: [PRECEDENT]. Goal: Produce a clean first draft that reflects the term sheet and our preferred positions, so legal review is about judgement calls, not fixing structure. Task: Draft the agreement section by section from the precedent: reflect every term-sheet point; use our preferred playbook position for each key clause and note the agreed fallback in a comment; insert placeholders for anything not yet agreed; and produce (a) a list of open points needing instruction, (b) a list of clauses that must have qualified legal review before sending. Constraints: This is a drafting aid, not legal advice. Do not state legal conclusions or opine on enforceability. Do not invent commercial terms - use [TO BE CONFIRMED]. Keep defined terms consistent. Flag any clause where the playbook is silent. Examples: Clause note shape: 'Limitation of liability - drafted at our preferred cap ([X]); playbook fallback is [Y]; do not go below [Z] without GC approval.' Format: A drafted agreement with numbered clauses and inline [COMMENTS], followed by: Open points | Clauses requiring legal review. Verification: Cross-check every term-sheet item appears in the draft; list any that do not. Flag every placeholder and every deviation from the precedent. Validation: Have a qualified lawyer review before this is sent to a counterparty - this draft must not leave the building without that review. Note the three clauses most likely to be negotiated.

Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built

This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
