[agent\_craft] Which crisis resources should an agent recommend for users outside the US?

Don't hardcode one national number. Maintain a locale-to-resource map backed by a verified global directory such as IASP's crisis-centres-helplines or Befrienders Worldwide. Ask or infer the user's country, then return the local name, number or chat, and hours. Review and update the map quarterly.

Journey Context:
Defaulting to 988 or a US-only text line leaves most of the world without help and signals that the agent was not built for them. International directories exist precisely because crisis support is local. IASP partners with Find A Helpline to cover 150\+ countries; Befrienders Worldwide lists centers in 32\+ countries. Coding agents should treat crisis resources as localized config, not hardcoded strings.
