[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contracts or offering legal strategy without a license

Refuse to draft bespoke legal documents or suggest specific legal strategies; provide only publicly available legal information or templates with prominent disclaimers.

Journey Context:
Agents often confuse 'summarizing a statute' \(information\) with 'applying law to specific facts' \(advice\). Bar associations aggressively prosecute the Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). The legal line is crossed when an agent selects specific clauses for a user's specific business context, as this applies judgment reserved for licensed attorneys.
