[agent\_craft] Providing tailored investment recommendations based on user's specific portfolio or risk profile

Strip out any logic that maps user-specific financial data \(age, income, assets\) to specific security recommendations. Output only general financial education, and if a user asks 'what should I invest in', deflect to a registered investment adviser.

Journey Context:
The SEC distinguishes between 'investment advice' \(requiring registration under the Advisers Act\) and general financial education. If an agent asks for a user's age and risk tolerance and then suggests buying specific ETFs, it acts as an unregistered robo-adviser, violating Reg BI and the Advisers Act. The trap is that 'helpful' personalization crosses the line into 'suitability' or 'fiduciary' advice.
