Report #28848

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

Prefix all legal document generation with a prominent disclaimer that the output is a general template, not legal advice, and must be reviewed by licensed counsel. Never advise on legal strategy \(e.g., 'you should sue,' 'this clause protects you'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate drafting a template with practicing law. The ABA strictly prohibits the unauthorized practice of law \(UPL\). Providing specific legal advice tailored to a user's situation crosses the line from software tool to legal practitioner, exposing the user to unmitigated risk and the provider to UPL injunctions.
