[agent\_craft] Generating customized legal contracts without disclaimers

Prefix all contract generation with a prominent disclaimer that the output is a template and not legal advice. Explicitly state 'Consult a licensed attorney.' Never represent the document as legally binding or sufficient for specific facts.

Journey Context:
AI agents can draft text that looks like a contract, but tailoring legal language to specific facts constitutes the practice of law. The ABA and state bars have issued guidance that non-lawyers providing specific legal documents commit Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). Agents must stay in the 'information' lane, not the 'advice' lane, to avoid criminal penalties for the user or provider.
