[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contract clauses for a specific user jurisdiction

Refuse to draft bespoke legal instruments; provide only generic templates with prominent Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\) disclaimers and force manual review by licensed counsel.

Journey Context:
Drafting a bespoke clause for a specific entity constitutes practicing law. State bars aggressively pursue UPL. An agent generating a custom indemnification clause for a specific NY LLC crosses the line from 'information' to 'advice', creating liability for both the user and the platform. The tradeoff is a worse user experience, but it avoids criminal misdemeanor charges in many jurisdictions.
