+Agent-first placeholder-filler for legal-document templates. Reads bracketed (`[Party A]`) or mustache markup, `.docx` yellow highlights, or generic-name heuristics; substitutes from CLI flags, a JSON params file, a shared `parties.json` registry, or — optionally — values extracted by an LLM from a free-form deal description; writes a ready-to-review draft as text or `.docx` (round-trip, runs and styles preserved). Schema-declared placeholders can be **typed** (`date` / `money` / `party`), **computed** (date arithmetic from another placeholder), **positional** (same text disambiguated by role), and **bundled** (fill multiple templates with one set of values).
-## What it does
+**The asymmetry is the architecture**: every step is deterministic and machine-driven except the values themselves — which can come from a flag, a params file, a parties registry, or an LLM extracting them from a prose deal description that a human wrote.
-You have a template. You have a deal. You want a draft you can review and
-send. The middle step — finding every `[Party A]`, `[Effective Date]`, and
-`[State of California]` and replacing them with real values — is mechanical,
-deterministic work that doesn't need an LLM and shouldn't need to leave your
-machine.
+## Run this
-```
-template-vault get nda/house-mutual | draft - \
-    --party-a "Acme Corporation" \
-    --party-b "Vendor Inc." \
-    --effective-date 2026-06-01 \
-    --output draft.md
+```bash
+npx @drbaher/draft-cli@latest --demo
 ```
-Or via a params file:
+30 seconds, no file authoring required. Walks through a bracketed-template NDA with three placeholders, demoing the full cascade end-to-end. Or if you want to dive into a real template:
-```
-draft nda/house-mutual --params deal-acme.json --output draft.md
+```bash
+npm i -g @drbaher/draft-cli
+draft --list-placeholders examples/cp-mutual-nda-coverpage.md
 ```
-`draft` does **only** that step. Templates come from `template-vault-cli` or
-any markdown / .docx / stdin source. Review and red-line happens in
-`nda-review-cli`. Conversion to PDF goes through `docx2pdf-cli`. Signing
-goes through `sign-cli`. Each tool stays small and composable.

-values.
+## What this gives you
----
+- **Five-tier detection cascade** — `[Title Case]` brackets / `{{mustache}}` / `.docx` highlights (yellow/green/cyan/magenta) / heuristic dictionary / optional LLM. First tier with hits wins; the rest are skipped. Deterministic through tier 4.
+- **`.docx` round-trip** — read a `.docx` template, fill placeholders, write `<basename>-filled.docx` with runs/styles/paragraph-breaks preserved. T3 highlight detection works against real templates (Common Paper, YC SAFE).
+- **Schema file** for canonical keys, alias phrases, defaults, required-ness, and the v2 fields below (`type`, `format`, `currency`, `computed`, `positions`). Without a schema, every detected bracketed phrase is treated as a required parameter.
+- **Typed parameters** — `type: date | money | party` validates and normalizes inputs before substitution. `"01/15/2027"` → `"January 15, 2027"`; `"$5M"` → `"$5,000,000.00"`. Bad inputs exit 4 with per-key error.
+- **Computed placeholders** — derive one placeholder's value from another via date arithmetic: `{ "from": "effective_date", "op": "+", "value": "2 years" }`. Cycle detection at schema parse time.
+- **Positional addressing** — same placeholder text with different semantic roles, addressed by position. Validated against the YC SAFE `$[_____________] × 2` case.
+- **`parties.json` registry** — declare known parties once; schemas reference `ref:parties.<key>.<field>`. Eliminates duplicating party metadata across templates.
+- **Multi-document bundles** — fill multiple templates with one shared set of values: `draft --bundle deal.bundle.json --params deal.json`. Abort-all on any pre-write error.
+- **LLM-from-deal inference** — `--from-deal PATH` reads a free-form deal description and asks the configured T5 provider (Anthropic / OpenAI / `DRAFT_LLM_*`) to fill the schema's parameters. CLI / `--params` still win over inferred values.
+- **Composable I/O** — stdin (`-`), stdout default, `--output PATH`, `template-vault get` integration for `<category>/<name>[@version]` template refs.
+- **Three modes** — `draft` (substitute and emit), `--list-placeholders` (enumerate), `--validate` (completeness check). All support `--json` and `--why`.
+- **Single file, stdlib + `jszip`**, no telemetry, local-first. Network only when the LLM tier is explicitly configured.

-  Deterministic by default; opt-in LLM augmentation.
-- **[docx2pdf-cli](https://github.com/DrBaher/docx2pdf-cli)** —
-  honest DOCX → PDF conversion with batch processing, parallel runs,
-  font validation.
-- **[sign-cli](https://github.com/DrBaher/sign-cli)** —
-  fully-offline PAdES e-signature with hash-chained audit events,
-  RFC 3161 timestamps.
-`template-vault-cli` (a Git-backed, clause-aware package manager for
-legal-document templates) is the natural upstream of `draft-cli` and
