OpenAgreements
Open, primary-source-backed U.S. legal content and standard agreement templates — built for legal teams of any size and the agents helping them.
- Legal Practice Library — jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction practice guides (non-compete & restrictive covenants, consumer data privacy, AI employment law), every claim cited to primary law.
- Templates — 40+ fillable forms across NDAs, cloud service agreements, employment docs, SAFEs, and NVCA financing documents.
- Checklists — clause-by-clause reviewer checklists.
- Law Surveys — 50-state and international comparison tables.
This repository mirrors the OpenAgreements public legal content library for GitHub, local AI agents, and contributor pull requests. Everything ships as plain markdown here and as machine-readable twins on openagreements.org. Accepted content changes are reviewed and synchronized into the publishing workflow for openagreements.org.

Who this is for
The practice guides, surveys, and checklists answer jurisdiction-specific questions with citations to primary law; the templates start from standard forms teams already recognize — Common Paper, Bonterms, NVCA model documents, and YC SAFE templates — keeping source, license, and validation context close to the document. It does not provide legal advice; consult an attorney.

Legal Practice Library
Primary-source-backed legal practice guides, projected from openagreements.org as plain markdown under legal-practice-library/. Each guide cites primary law and links to its canonical page (with machine-readable twins — see Use it with AI agents & the CLI).
| Topic | What it covers | Coverage | Markdown | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Compete & Restrictive Covenants | Enforceability, blue-pencil reformation, tolling, choice of law, and FTC-rule status. | 57 U.S. states + international | Markdown | HTML |
| Consumer Data Privacy | CCPA/CPRA and every comprehensive state privacy act — who's covered, consumer rights, opt-outs, and who enforces. | 51 U.S. states | Markdown | HTML |
| AI Vendors | Zero-data-retention, data residency, and the terms that matter in AI vendor contracts. | 9 practice guides | Markdown | HTML |
| AI & the Workforce | AI in hiring and adverse-action, workforce AI policies, and outside-counsel transitions. | 20 practice guides | Markdown | HTML |
| Privacy-Policy Requirement Phrasings | Preferred phrasings for what a U.S. consumer privacy policy must disclose. | 8 practice guides | Markdown | HTML |
Backed by 648 verbatim case excerpts — the passages our practice guides rely on, each linked to the full opinion on CourtListener. Supporting evidence, not a case database.
Available Templates
Fill standard legal agreement templates and get signable DOCX files — party info, dates, and terms in, formatting-preserving Word document out. The Source column links to the upstream standard or canonical project page (varies by publisher); the License column shows redistribution terms; Repo links point to the GitHub content directory for each template or field-selector. To fill one with an agent or the CLI, see Template Filling via MCP.
