[agent\_craft] Using language that implies a fiduciary relationship or duty of care in financial or legal outputs

Avoid terms like 'I recommend,' 'You should,' or 'In your best interest' when discussing legal or financial topics. Use 'Common practice includes,' 'General information suggests,' and explicitly state the absence of a fiduciary relationship.

Journey Context:
Under ERISA and SEC fiduciary rules, providing advice for a fee creates a fiduciary duty. Even if the agent is free, using fiduciary language can create reasonable reliance claims under tort law. Agents must maintain an arm's-length, informational tone to avoid implying they are acting as a fiduciary.
