+description: Use this skill for nonprofit corporate governance drafting and review, especially when working on bylaws, board structure, member versus no-member governance, Illinois nonprofit law references, or 501(c)(3)-style organizational language using the local materials in this repository.
+---
+
+# Nonprofit Governance
+
+Use this skill when the task is about nonprofit bylaws, governance structure, or adapting governance language from local reference documents.
+
+## When To Use
+
+- Use this skill when drafting or revising nonprofit bylaws, articles-adjacent governance language, or internal governance policies.
+- Use this skill when reviewing board powers, officer roles, meeting procedures, quorum, vacancies, removal, or amendment provisions for a nonprofit.
+- Use this skill when the user wants language grounded in the Illinois not-for-profit framework or in the local sample bylaws stored in this repository.
+- Use this skill when deciding whether the organization should be member-governed or board-governed with no statutory members.
+
+## Scope
+
+This skill is a local drafting and review aid, not a substitute for legal advice.
+
+- Prefer the local reference materials over memory when the user wants citation-backed drafting or comparison.
+- Treat the Illinois statute excerpt as the controlling local legal reference among the files in this folder.
+- Treat the sample bylaws as models to adapt, not boilerplate to copy blindly.
+
+## References
+
+- `references/805-ILCS-105.md`: excerpted Illinois General Not For Profit Corporation Act provisions focused on members, meetings, voting, proxies, quorum, records, and related governance mechanics.
+- `references/bylaws-of-revolution-working.md`: example Illinois no-member 501(c)(3) bylaws with board-governed structure.
+- `references/non-profit-sample.md`: broader sample nonprofit bylaws template with placeholders and optional affiliate/member-style provisions.
+
+Load only the reference file(s) needed for the current task.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Identify the governance model the draft is trying to implement:
+   no members, voting members, non-voting affiliates, or mixed structures.
+2. Read the minimum local reference material needed for that model.
+3. Separate mandatory governance mechanics from optional drafting choices.
+4. Draft or revise language so the document is internally consistent:
+   membership clauses, board powers, officer provisions, meeting rules, quorum, voting, and amendment rules should not conflict.
+5. If borrowing from a sample, normalize terminology and cross-references so the final document reads as one instrument rather than pasted sections.
+6. Flag places where legal review is prudent, especially when the draft departs from the statute excerpt or mixes member and no-member concepts.
+
+## Drafting Rules
+
+- Decide early whether the corporation has members. Do not mix "no members" language with member voting provisions unless the distinction is explicit and intentional.
+- Keep the board article aligned with the membership model. If the corporation has no members, directors typically exercise powers otherwise assigned to members under the statute and bylaws.
+- Preserve 501(c)(3)-style limits when the organization is meant to be tax-exempt:
+  no private inurement, limits on political activity, and appropriate dissolution language.
+- Use one consistent term for the governing body and its officers throughout the draft.
+- Check meeting, notice, quorum, voting, proxy, and written-consent provisions as a set; these clauses commonly drift out of alignment.
+- Treat sample officer and committee structures as optional. Tailor them to the organization instead of inheriting every office or committee by default.
+- Remove placeholders, bracketed text, duplicated concepts, and state-law assumptions that do not match the target organization.
+
+## Illinois-Focused Review Points
+
+When using the Illinois excerpt, pay particular attention to:
+
+- whether the bylaws expressly state that the corporation has no members or define member classes and rights;
+- who may call meetings and what notice is required;
+- whether remote participation, electronic ballots, proxies, or written/electronic consents are allowed;
+- quorum thresholds and whether the draft overrides statutory defaults;
+- books and records provisions for voting members; and
+- whether the draft's voting provisions match the intended governance model.
+
+## Output Pattern
+
+For drafting or revision tasks, prefer:
+
+1. the chosen governance model;
+2. the revised language or proposed article structure;
+3. short notes on why the language fits the local references; and
+4. any issues that should be reviewed by counsel or by the organization before adoption.
+
+## What Not To Do
+
+- Do not present local sample language as universally correct for every nonprofit.
+- Do not assume a generic sample matches Illinois law without checking the Illinois reference first.
+- Do not leave hidden conflicts between membership, board authority, and voting provisions.
+- Do not copy placeholder text or organization-specific facts from the samples into the final draft.
