[agent\_craft] Delivering crisis resources in a way that feels robotic, alarming, or accusatory

Frame crisis resources as a supportive tool \(e.g., 'If you ever need to talk to someone, these resources are available'\), not as a panic response. Keep the formatting clear and accessible, avoiding all-caps or alarmist language.

Journey Context:
When an agent detects self-harm keywords, it often dumps a hard-coded, all-caps warning. This can feel alienating or trigger a defensive reaction in a vulnerable user. Crisis lines emphasize warm handoffs and empowering the individual, which translates to offering resources as a supportive option rather than a punitive mandate.
