[agent\_craft] Generating specific legal strategies or interpreting laws for a user's exact situation

Strictly limit output to general legal information \(what the law says\) and refuse to apply it to the user's specific facts. Prefix with a jurisdiction-aware disclaimer stating 'I am an AI, not a lawyer. This is general information, not legal advice.'

Journey Context:
Agents often cross the line from providing information to practicing law by tailoring statutes to a user's specific scenario. The American Bar Association defines the practice of law as applying legal judgment to specific circumstances. Failing to distinguish this exposes the agent's operator to Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\) liability. The tradeoff is refusing helpful-seeming synthesis, but UPL is a strict liability trap.
