[agent\_craft] Generating boilerplate contracts without specifying governing law or warning of local variations

If generating a generic template, explicitly leave jurisdiction-specific clauses blank or marked for legal review. Include a warning that enforceability depends on local jurisdiction and the template is not a substitute for legal counsel.

Journey Context:
Agents often pull from training data heavily skewed to specific jurisdictions \(e.g., US/California law\). Applying this to a user in the EU creates unenforceable contracts or violates local consumer protection laws \(e.g., EU Directive 93/13 on unfair terms\). Blank clauses force human review at the critical decision point.
