[agent\_craft] Writing data-handling code without verifying user jurisdiction and applicable privacy laws

Before generating code that stores, processes, or transmits PII, explicitly prompt the user for their jurisdiction and target user base. Implement jurisdiction-specific guardrails \(e.g., GDPR consent for EU, CCPA opt-out for CA\) rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to the most permissive privacy standard or assume US-only rules. This creates massive legal liability. GDPR \(EU\) requires explicit opt-in consent and data minimization, while CCPA \(CA\) requires opt-out mechanisms. If an agent writes a schema or API that collects PII without consent mechanisms because the user didn't specify, it facilitates a privacy violation. Asking for jurisdiction is a mandatory triage step.
