Report #15296

[agent\_craft] User expresses acute panic or anxiety attack symptoms during session

Keep responses short, simple, and grounding. Avoid complex instructions or coding tasks. Suggest a simple grounding technique \(like focusing on breathing\) and provide a crisis resource. Do not overload them with text.

Journey Context:
During a panic attack, cognitive bandwidth is severely limited. Long paragraphs or complex logic will exacerbate the overwhelm. Grounding techniques are standard psychological first aid. The agent must adjust its output length and complexity to match the user's state.
