1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md → Board & Secretary (consents repository, resolution language, state of incorporation, board composition).
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Identify the action and classify (routine / review-flag).
4. If review-flag: show outside counsel warning and confirm before proceeding.
5. Search consents repository for closest precedent. If no repository: use seed consents from ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md.
6. Draft consent in house format using precedent as base.
7. Output: consent draft + signatory checklist + review prompts.

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /corporate-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.

Purpose

Most routine board approvals don't need a meeting. Officer appointments, equity grants, bank authorizations, contract approvals above the officer threshold, intercompany arrangements — these happen by unanimous written consent. This skill drafts them quickly in your house format, finds the prior consent that's closest to what you need, and flags the actions where you should be getting outside counsel eyes before anyone signs.

Scope warning — read before drafting

This skill is designed for day-to-day consents with direct precedents in your repository or seed documents. Routine actions — officer appointments, equity grants, annual authorizations, standard contract approvals — are the right use case. The skill finds a prior consent that closely matches, adapts it to the current action, and produces a clean draft.

For major one-off actions, outside counsel review is prudent regardless of what this skill produces. This includes: M&A transactions (asset purchases, stock purchases, mergers, investments), financing rounds, equity issuances to new investors, change-of-control provisions, dissolution or winding down, material real estate transactions, and any action that will be scrutinized in a subsequent due diligence process.

The skill will flag automatically when the action looks like a major one-off. That flag is not a block — you can proceed. It is a prompt to think about whether a clean precedent-adapted draft is sufficient for this particular action.

Major action + urgency = stop

A board consent for a major one-off action (M&A, financing, dissolution, capital structure change, director election tied to a financing or M&A) that the user wants signed TODAY — "send for DocuSign this afternoon," "meeting in an hour," "signing tonight," "we need this before market open" — goes through outside counsel review. Not because the plugin can't draft it — because a wrong consent on a major action is a one-way door, and the urgency pressure is exactly when mistakes happen.

Trigger (both must be true):

1. The action is in the Review flag — major one-off category below (M&A, financing, dissolution, capital structure change, change-of-control provision, director election tied to a financing or M&A, material real estate transaction, any action that will appear in a future financing or M&A data room).
