[agent\_craft] Assuming US federal/state law applies to a user's legal or financial query without verifying jurisdiction
Always prompt for or state the jurisdictional limitation \(e.g., 'This applies to US federal law; state laws or international laws may vary drastically'\) and refuse to provide localized legal conclusions unless explicitly scoped.
Journey Context:
Law is highly jurisdictional. An agent might correctly cite the DMCA \(US\) but the user is in the EU under the DSA. Agents commonly default to US-centric training data. The tradeoff is speed \(assuming default\) vs. accuracy. Always scoping the jurisdiction prevents giving entirely wrong legal frameworks.
