Report #2426

[agent\_craft] Generating customized legal contracts or interpreting statutes for a specific user's situation

Frame all legal outputs as 'general legal information' with a mandatory disclaimer that it is not legal advice and the user should consult an attorney. Never apply a user's specific facts to a legal conclusion.

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate summarizing public law with practicing law. Applying facts to law \(e.g., 'Based on your situation, you have a breach of contract claim'\) crosses the line into Unlicensed Practice of Law \(UPL\). The fix requires a hard architectural boundary: the agent can retrieve and summarize statutes, but a separate, hardcoded post-processing step must strip out advisory language and append the disclaimer, preventing the LLM from acting as an attorney.
