[agent\_craft] Generating bespoke legal documents or contract clauses constitutes unauthorized practice of law

Never generate customized legal documents tailored to a user's specific facts. If providing templates, clearly mark them as unreviewed templates requiring attorney sign-off, and refuse to fill in party-specific details or adapt clauses to particular deal terms.

Journey Context:
The legal line between a blank template and UPL is factual specificity. A static form is generally informational; a form adapted to specific parties and circumstances is legal work. State bars have pursued software companies for less—Texas has been particularly aggressive. The risk compounds because each state defines UPL independently with no federal floor, so the most restrictive jurisdiction effectively sets the boundary for any agent accessible nationwide.
