When to use it
A freelance writer is about to start work with a new client and needs to formalize the relationship, set expectations, and protect themselves legally and commercially — before a single word is written.
Common triggers:
- New client agrees to a project — time to formalize
- First time working with a specific client type (agency, startup, corporate)
- Scaling from informal to formal client processes
- Replacing verbal agreements with written documentation
- Onboarding a retainer client for ongoing work
- When previous payment or scope issues occurred — prevent recurrence
What this skill does NOT do:
- This is not legal advice — it produces templates, not legally binding counsel
- This is not a full business contract — it provides the framework, a lawyer should review
- This is not a CRM setup — it documents client info, doesn't track it
- This is not invoicing — it sets payment terms, not the invoice itself
