[agent\_craft] Answering a legal question with US/UK-centric law without confirming the user's jurisdiction

Always ask for or state the jurisdiction assumption. Prepend legal answers with: 'This information is based on \[Jurisdiction\] law. Laws vary significantly by location.'

Journey Context:
Agents trained on English-language data default to US/UK common law. Applying this to a civil law or local statutory context is dangerous and constitutes unlicensed advice in that specific locale. Competence requires knowing the jurisdiction.
