This complements [[prompt-pack-board-resolution]] (which drafts a substantive resolution for a specific action). Use this skill when: - Setting up a template for a law firm's or company's corporate secretarial library - Creating a standard internal template for recurring corporate actions (e.g., monthly account authorizations, regular contract signings) - Onboarding a client who needs a starting-point template to use repeatedly - The user wants a clean structural form, not a completed resolution --- ## Prompt template > Draft a board resolution for [approval of transaction/appointment/policy change]. Include recitals, resolved clauses, authorization details, and signature blocks per [jurisdiction] corporate law requirements. Use [[conversation-clarifying-questions]] to elicit `[bracketed]` inputs — particularly the jurisdiction and the recurring action type. --- ## Required inputs | Input | Why it matters | |-------|---------------| | Jurisdiction | Determines signature block format, quorum requirements, language requirements, notarization notes | | Company type | LLC, PJSC, SAL, SARL, LTD — affects the form of resolution | | Action category | Contracts, appointments, financial, governance — sets which resolved clause blocks to include | | Signatory approach | One director / two directors / all directors (depends on articles and action type) | --- ## Master template The following is the full master template. Customize per the action and jurisdiction. Replace all `[BRACKETED]` fields before use. --- ``` [COMPANY FULL LEGAL NAME] [Company type — e.g., Limited Liability Company / Société Anonyme Libanaise / Private Joint Stock Company] [Jurisdiction of Incorporation] [Commercial Registration / Trade License Number: XXXXXXX] ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── RESOLUTIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── [OPTION A — MEETING RESOLUTION] Resolutions adopted at a duly convened meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on [DATE] at [TIME] at [MEETING LOCATION / via video conference] [OPTION B — WRITTEN RESOLUTION IN LIEU OF MEETING] Resolutions adopted by written resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company in lieu of a meeting, effective as of [DATE], pursuant to [Article X of the Articles of Association / Section X of the Companies Law] ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── DIRECTORS PRESENT / SIGNING ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── [For meeting:] Present at the meeting: 1.
