## Description

Draft a unanimous written consent of the board or a committee in house format, with precedent search from the consents repository. Handles multi-resolution consents, director conflict flags, state-law notice requirements, and signatory tracking, with a built-in scope warning for major one-off actions. Use when user says "written consent", "unanimous consent", "board consent", "consent in lieu", "UWC", or describes an action needing board approval without a meeting.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# /written-consent

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
