[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contracts or advising on litigation strategy without a license

Prefix legal document generation with a prominent disclaimer that it is a 'template' and NOT legal advice; refuse to apply facts to law \(e.g., 'Do I have a case?'\). Provide only general legal information.

Journey Context:
The line between 'legal information' \(public, general\) and 'legal advice' \(specific, applying law to facts\) triggers Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). Bar associations strictly prohibit the latter. Agents often cross this by personalizing clauses to specific user facts, which constitutes practicing law without a license.
