Put your first client agreement in writing — the eight clauses a simple service contract must have, in plain language a non-lawyer can use, with the blanks filled from your actual deal. Use when asked write my first client contract, what should a freelance agreement include, my client wants to start without a contract, or review this simple services agreement. Produces the plain-language agreement draft with the eight load-bearing clauses, the per-clause reasoning, the how-to-send-it script, and the when-this-needs-a-lawyer triggers.

# First Client Contract Skill

The first client contract's job isn't winning lawsuits — it's *preventing misunderstandings between honest people*, which is 95% of what goes wrong. A one-page plain-language agreement covering eight things (who, what, when, how much, what's extra, who owns what, how either side exits, what happens late) beats both alternatives: the handshake (where scope and payment live in two different memories) and the 30-page template (which nobody reads, including its sender). This skill drafts that page from the actual deal — and names plainly when the stakes have outgrown it.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The agreement draft** — one to two pages, plain language, the eight clauses filled from the real deal
- **The per-clause reasoning** — why each exists, told through the failure it prevents
- **The send script** — how to introduce a contract without making it weird ("this just makes sure we're aligned")
- **The lawyer triggers** — the situations where this simple form stops being enough, listed honestly
