# Drafting Functionality Skill

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/a47445ea3e974eb39cc7107604442a79?sid=f59c3add-1686-46b4-b1d9-a0df8a3dc1cf>" %}

The **Drafting from Templates** functionality on Jurisphere allows you to create new drafts by uploading and reusing existing documents as templates. You can use any Word or PDF file (such as an agreement, legal opinion, advisory, letter, or pleading from a previous matter) and the system will automatically analyze its structure, format, and tone. Once saved, your custom skill appears in your personal tab, where it can be edited or reused at any time.

To create a skill from a template:

* Open **Document Review** and select **Create Your Own Skill**.
* Upload a Word or PDF file you’d like to use as a template.
* Jurisphere will analyze the document’s tone, structure, and formatting.
* Save the skill under your personal tab for future use.

You can also see detailed steps in [Creating Custom Skills](/creating-custom-skills.md#option-2-create-from-a-template).

In practice, this means you can upload supporting documents (for example, a written petition and judgment), and Jurisphere will generate a new draft (a fresh appeal or SLP) modelled on your chosen template, without needing to upload or configure it again. The result closely mirrors your original draft’s structure, from the memorandum of parties to declarations and questions of law. This feature saves significant time by automating repetitive drafting tasks while still allowing you to make adjustments, ensuring consistency and efficiency in your legal drafting process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/resources/skill-application-guide/drafting-functionality-skill.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
