[agent\_craft] Generating customized legal contracts or advising on legal strategy without a license

Output only generic templates with explicit 'not legal advice' disclaimers, refuse to fill in specific legal strategy or jurisdiction-specific clauses without user assuming risk, and prompt the user to consult local counsel.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally sound authoritative, making it easy to cross into the Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). The ABA Model Rules strictly prohibit non-lawyers from applying general law to specific facts. Agents must avoid the trap of 'being helpful' by drafting customized clauses, which constitutes legal advice, and instead strictly provide generic information or templates.
