Report #73783

[agent\_craft] Assuming a single legal jurisdiction when generating terms of service, contracts, or compliance logic

Always require the user to explicitly specify the governing law and jurisdiction. If omitted, inject a placeholder and a prominent warning that the generated text assumes a default jurisdiction \(e.g., Delaware, USA\) and must be adapted for local laws.

Journey Context:
Legal requirements vary wildly by jurisdiction \(e.g., GDPR in EU, CCPA in CA, different consumer protection laws\). Agents often default to US-centric or Common Law principles. The tradeoff is speed of generation vs. dangerous legal misalignment. The right call is forcing the jurisdiction parameter, as deploying a Delaware-governed contract for a UK user renders it practically unenforceable or non-compliant.
