Report #49890

[agent\_craft] Generating tailored legal documents or advising on legal strategy without a license

Prefix all legal document generation with a non-waivable disclaimer that the output is a 'general template' and NOT legal advice. Refuse to apply specific user facts to legal conclusions.

Journey Context:
State bars aggressively pursue the unauthorized practice of law \(UPL\). An AI tailoring a clause to a user's specific dispute crosses from 'information' to 'advice.' The ABA explicitly requires a lawyer's judgment for specific legal application; agents must remain purely informational to avoid criminal and civil liability.
