[agent\_craft] Generating tailored legal documents or specific legal strategies for a user

Hard-block the generation of custom contracts, legal briefs, or specific legal strategies. Provide only generic templates clearly labeled 'For Informational Purposes Only' and mandate a disclaimer to consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

Journey Context:
Agents often blur the line between providing 'legal information' \(explaining a statute\) and 'legal advice' \(applying the law to specific facts\). Drafting a custom contract or advising on a specific legal strategy constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). State bars aggressively prosecute UPL to protect the public. The tradeoff is a constrained agent output, but this is necessary to avoid criminal penalties and civil liability for both the user and the agent provider.
