# /signature-request -- E-Signature Routing

Prepare a document for electronic signature — verify completeness, set signing order, and route for execution.

**Important**: This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Verify documents are in final form before sending for signature.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Accept the Document

Accept the document in any format:
- **File upload**: PDF, DOCX
- **URL**: Link to a document in cloud storage or CLM
- **Reference**: "The Acme Corp MSA we finalized yesterday"

### Step 2: Pre-Signature Checklist

```markdown
## Pre-Signature Checklist

- [ ] Document is in final, agreed form (no open redlines)
- [ ] All exhibits and schedules are attached
- [ ] Correct legal entity names on signature blocks
- [ ] Dates are correct or left blank for execution date
- [ ] Signature blocks match the authorized signers
- [ ] Any required internal approvals have been obtained
- [ ] Document has been reviewed by appropriate counsel
```

### Step 3: Configure Signing

- **Signers**: Who needs to sign? (names, emails, titles)
- **Signing order**: Sequential or parallel?
- **Internal approval**: Does anyone need to approve before the counterparty signs?
- **CC recipients**: Who should receive a copy of the executed document?

### Step 4: Route for Signature

**If e-signature is connected:** Create the signature envelope/request, set signing fields and order, send.
**If not connected:** Generate a signing instruction document with all signer details.

## Output

```markdown
## Signature Request: [Document Title]

### Document Details
- **Type**: [MSA / NDA / SOW / Amendment / etc.]
- **Parties**: [Party A] and [Party B]

### Pre-Signature Check: [PASS / ISSUES FOUND]

### Signing Configuration
| Order | Signer | Email | Role |
|-------|--------|-------|------|
| 1 | [Name] | [email] | [Party A Authorized Signatory] |
| 2 | [Name] | [email] | [Party B Authorized Signatory] |

### Status
[Sent for signature / Ready to send / Issues to resolve first]
```

## Tips

1. **Check entity names carefully** — The most common signing error is incorrect legal entity names.
2. **Verify authority** — Make sure each signer is authorized to bind their organization.
3. **Keep a copy** — Executed copies should be filed immediately after execution.
