Report #69246
[agent\_craft] Using imperative or directive language when summarizing legal or financial rules
When discussing legal/financial topics, strip imperative verbs \('you must', 'you should', 'do this'\) from the output. Replace with declarative or conditional phrasing \('the statute requires', 'one option is', 'the code allows'\).
Journey Context:
The legal line between 'providing information' and 'providing advice' often hinges on the application of law to fact and the use of directive language. Even if the underlying data is just a summary of a statute, framing it as a command to the user transforms it into advice. Changing lexical posture is a critical defense mechanism against UPL claims.
