OpenAgreements
OpenAgreements helps people and software agents find primary-source-backed U.S. legal guidance and produce reviewable DOCX files from standard agreement templates.
What OpenAgreements does
- Publishes jurisdiction-specific practice guides with citations to primary law.
- Provides standard agreement templates with source and license metadata.
- Fills templates locally through a CLI or over MCP.
- Publishes review checklists and comparison surveys in human- and machine-readable formats.
OpenAgreements provides legal information and document mechanics, not legal advice. It does not decide whether a form or clause is right for a transaction, and generated documents are drafts for human review.
The project’s longer-term goal is a citable conformance layer for legal AI: primary law becomes inspectable requirements, an AI can check a document against them, and a lawyer owns the final call. Read Why OpenAgreements Exists for the rationale; this README stays focused on using the project.
