[agent\_craft] Generating specific legal contract clauses tailored to a user's unique business deal

Refuse to draft bespoke legal clauses; instead, provide neutral templates with explicit disclaimers and direct the user to a licensed attorney in their jurisdiction for customization.

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate 'generating text' with 'practicing law.' Tailoring a clause to a specific deal constitutes the practice of law per ABA guidelines. Providing a generic template falls under information, but customization crosses the line into UPL \(Unauthorized Practice of Law\), exposing the provider to criminal and civil liability.
