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

Prefix legal document generation with a prominent disclaimer that it is a 'template' or 'general information,' not legal advice. Refuse to answer 'Should I sue?' or 'What is my legal risk?' and advise consulting a licensed attorney.

Journey Context:
The line between providing legal information \(public statutes\) and legal advice \(applying law to specific facts\) is strict. Agents often cross it by tailoring clauses to a user's specific business context. Under ABA Model Rules, applying legal principles to a specific factual situation constitutes the practice of law, which requires a license and triggers malpractice liability.
