Docusign Automation V2

DocuSign Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/docusign-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

DocuSign Automation via Rube MCP Automate DocuSign e-signature workflows through Composio's DocuSign toolkit via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate DocuSign tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): templates, envelopes, signatures, document management. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Browse and Select Templates

When to use: User wants to find available document templates for sending

Tool sequence:

1. DOCUSIGN_LIST_ALL_TEMPLATES - List all available templates [Required]
2. DOCUSIGN_GET_TEMPLATE - Get detailed template information [Optional]

Key parameters:

• For listing: Optional search/filter parameters
• For details: templateId (from list results)
• Response includes template templateId, name, description, roles, and fields

Pitfalls:

• Template IDs are GUIDs (e.g., '12345678-abcd-1234-efgh-123456789012')
• Templates define recipient roles with signing tabs; understand roles before creating envelopes
• Large template libraries require pagination; check for continuation tokens
• Template access depends on account permissions

2. Create and Send Envelopes from Templates

When to use: User wants to send documents for signature using a pre-built template

Tool sequence:

1. DOCUSIGN_LIST_ALL_TEMPLATES - Find the template to use [Prerequisite]
2. DOCUSIGN_GET_TEMPLATE - Review template roles and fields [Optional]
3. DOCUSIGN_CREATE_ENVELOPE_FROM_TEMPLATE - Create the envelope [Required]
4. DOCUSIGN_SEND_ENVELOPE - Send the envelope for signing [Required]

Key parameters:

• For CREATE_ENVELOPE_FROM_TEMPLATE:
  • templateId: Template to use
  • templateRoles: Array of role assignments with roleName, name, email
  • status: 'created' (draft) or 'sent' (send immediately)
  • emailSubject: Custom subject line for the signing email
  • emailBlurb: Custom message in the signing email
• For SEND_ENVELOPE:
  • envelopeId: Envelope ID from creation response

Pitfalls:

• templateRoles must match the role names defined in the template exactly (case-sensitive)
• Setting status to 'sent' during creation sends immediately; use 'created' for drafts
• If status is 'sent' at creation, no need to call SEND_ENVELOPE separately
• Each role requires at minimum roleName, name, and email
• emailSubject overrides the template's default email subject

3. Monitor Envelope Status

When to use: User wants to check the status of sent envelopes or track signing progress

Tool sequence:

1. DOCUSIGN_GET_ENVELOPE - Get envelope details and status [Required]

Key parameters:

• envelopeId: Envelope identifier (GUID)
• Response includes status, recipients, sentDateTime, completedDateTime

Pitfalls:

• Envelope statuses: 'created', 'sent', 'delivered', 'signed', 'completed', 'declined', 'voided'
• 'delivered' means the email was opened, not that the document was signed
• 'completed' means all recipients have signed
• Recipients array shows individual signing status per recipient
• Envelope IDs are GUIDs; always resolve from creation or search results

4. Add Templates to Existing Envelopes

When to use: User wants to add additional documents or templates to an existing envelope

Tool sequence:

1. DOCUSIGN_GET_ENVELOPE - Verify envelope exists and is in draft state [Prerequisite]
2. DOCUSIGN_ADD_TEMPLATES_TO_DOCUMENT_IN_ENVELOPE - Add template to envelope [Required]

Key parameters:

• envelopeId: Target envelope ID
• documentId: Document ID within the envelope
• templateId: Template to add

Pitfalls:

• Envelope must be in 'created' (draft) status to add templates
• Cannot add templates to already-sent envelopes
• Document IDs are sequential within an envelope (starting from '1')
• Adding a template merges its fields and roles into the existing envelope

5. Manage Envelope Lifecycle

When to use: User wants to send, void, or manage draft envelopes

Tool sequence:

1. DOCUSIGN_GET_ENVELOPE - Check current envelope status [Prerequisite]
2. DOCUSIGN_SEND_ENVELOPE - Send a draft envelope [Optional]

Key parameters:

• envelopeId: Envelope to manage
• For sending: envelope must be in 'created' status with all required recipients

Pitfalls:

• Only 'created' (draft) envelopes can be sent
• Sent envelopes cannot be unsent; they can only be voided
• Voiding an envelope notifies all recipients
• All required recipients must have valid email addresses before sending

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active DocuSign connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit docusign
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @docusign-automation-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @docusign-automation-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @docusign-automation-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @docusign-automation-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/docusign-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

ID Resolution

Template name -> Template ID:

1. Call DOCUSIGN_LIST_ALL_TEMPLATES
2. Find template by name in results
3. Extract templateId (GUID format)

Envelope tracking:

1. Store envelopeId from CREATE_ENVELOPE_FROM_TEMPLATE response
2. Call DOCUSIGN_GET_ENVELOPE periodically to check status
3. Check recipient-level status for individual signing progress

Template Role Mapping

When creating an envelope from a template:

1. Call DOCUSIGN_GET_TEMPLATE to see defined roles
2. Map each role to actual recipients:
   {
     "roleName": "Signer 1",     // Must match template role name exactly
     "name": "John Smith",
     "email": "john@example.com"
   }
3. Include ALL required roles in templateRoles array

Envelope Status Flow

created (draft) -> sent -> delivered -> signed -> completed
                       \-> declined
                       \-> voided (by sender)

Imported: Known Pitfalls

Template Roles:

• Role names are case-sensitive; must match template definition exactly
• All required roles must be assigned when creating an envelope
• Missing role assignments cause envelope creation to fail

Envelope Status:

• 'delivered' means email opened, NOT document signed
• 'completed' is the final successful state (all parties signed)
• Status transitions are one-way; cannot revert to previous states

GUIDs:

• All DocuSign IDs (templates, envelopes) are GUID format
• Always resolve names to GUIDs via list/search endpoints
• Do not hardcode GUIDs; they are unique per account

Rate Limits:

• DocuSign API has per-account rate limits
• Bulk envelope creation should be throttled
• Polling envelope status should use reasonable intervals (30-60 seconds)

Response Parsing:

• Response data may be nested under data key
• Recipient information is nested within envelope response
• Date fields use ISO 8601 format
• Parse defensively with fallbacks for optional fields

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
