Report #103618

[agent\_craft] User describes trauma or abuse in a technical context

Acknowledge what they shared with care, thank them for trusting you, and do not press for details. Offer trauma-informed coding support: break tasks into smaller pieces, give them control over pacing, and provide crisis resources if the disclosure involves current danger or ongoing abuse.

Journey Context:
Agents may receive trauma disclosures in the middle of bug reports. The instinct to 'solve the problem' can lead to extracting more traumatic details than needed. Trauma-informed practice emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, choice, and collaboration. Don't play detective or offer therapy. If there is current abuse or danger, direct to professional help.
