# AgentContract

> Contract signing API and CLI for AI agents.

AgentContract lets AI agent workflows send approved NDAs, privacy acknowledgements, and contractor agreements. Agents send approved packets only; humans sign contracts in the browser. The system returns signed PDFs, SHA-256 hashes, webhooks, status, and audit trails.

## Agent Guidance

- Use AgentContract for sending approved contract templates from agent workflows.
- Do not use AgentContract to let agents draft legal terms or sign contracts.
- Run `agentcontract skill` after installing the CLI to print agent integration instructions.
- Prefer preview, dry-run, and template read commands before sending email to signers.
