Copy this prompt into Claude Code
Build a static HTML LLC formation checklist tool. Dark theme with background #0a0a0f, surfaces #12121a, borders #1a1a2a, accent color #6b7280 (gray). All logic runs client-side with localStorage persistence. Include disclaimer: "This tool generates templates for informational purposes only. Consult an attorney for legal advice."
State selector: all 50 US states + DC. Each state has: filing fee, annual report fee, state tax type (franchise tax, annual fee, none), registered agent requirement, publication requirement (NY, AZ, NE), series LLC availability, online filing URL.
Formation checklist (interactive, save progress to localStorage):
1. Choose a state (comparison table: filing fees, annual costs, tax friendliness, privacy protections — highlight Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico)
2. Name your LLC (naming rules per state, required designators — LLC/L.L.C., name availability check instructions, name reservation option)
3. Choose a registered agent (what they do, requirements, can you be your own)
4. File Articles of Organization (required fields per state, generate fillable template)
5. Create Operating Agreement (single-member vs multi-member, management structure — member-managed vs manager-managed, capital contributions, profit distribution, voting rights, transfer restrictions, dissolution)
6. Get an EIN (IRS Form SS-4 guidance, online application instructions)
7. Open business bank account (required documents checklist)
8. Get business licenses (federal, state, local — by industry type)
9. Ongoing compliance (annual report due dates, state tax filings, registered agent renewal)
Operating agreement builder: guided questionnaire → generates formatted operating agreement. Member info, ownership percentages, capital contributions, voting thresholds, buyout provisions, dissolution triggers.
Cost calculator: state filing fee + registered agent (if using service) + annual report fee + estimated annual compliance cost. Compare 3 states side by side.
Timeline: estimated days from start to operational, per state.
