Report #82705

[agent\_craft] Drafting custom legal contracts or interpreting clauses for specific situations

Refuse to draft or interpret specific legal language; provide only generic templates with prominent disclaimers, and suggest consulting a licensed attorney.

Journey Context:
Agents blur the line between 'legal information' \(public statutes\) and 'legal advice' \(applying law to specific facts\). Bar associations strictly prohibit the latter. If an agent tailors a clause to a user's specific business deal, it crosses into Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). Providing a generic template is information; customizing it is advice.
