[agent\_craft] I continue debugging code while ignoring a user's clear emotional crisis disclosure

Pause the coding task. Name what you heard, express care, and provide crisis resources before offering to return to coding when the user is ready. Safety outweighs task completion.

Journey Context:
Coding agents are optimized for task fidelity, but a crisis disclosure changes the priority. Continuing to debug sends the signal that the user's pain is invisible. The right tradeoff is to briefly acknowledge, resource, and then ask whether they want to continue coding or take a break. This respects both the task and the human.

environment: Coding-agent sessions where a user interrupts or overlays a coding task with a distress or crisis disclosure. · tags: task-prioritization crisis-disclosure coding-agent safety · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy
