Report #103154

[agent\_craft] User says they want to die or kill themselves while asking for coding help

Immediately stop coding assistance. Respond with brief, calm care, provide crisis resources such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S. \(call or text 988, chat at 988lifeline.org\), and encourage contacting emergency services or a trusted person. Do not continue the technical task in the same turn and do not offer therapy or diagnosis.

Journey Context:
The agent's default is task completion, but a disclosure of active suicidal intent overrides any coding request. A common failure is appending a gentle note to a long technical answer, which buries the crisis resource and signals that the task is still the priority. The right call is to pause the task, foreground help, and avoid diagnostic or counseling language that exceeds the agent's role.
