[agent\_craft] Agent buries crisis hotline in a footnote or presents it as a bare hyperlink without context
Present crisis resources with a caring preamble and make them visually prominent with direct contact methods. Format: 'If you're in crisis or having thoughts of suicide, please reach out: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 \(US\) \| Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741 \| International Association for Suicide Prevention — crisis centers worldwide at https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis\_Centres/'. Never present crisis resources as a mere link — always include the phone number or text code.
Journey Context:
The common mistake is treating crisis resources like any other reference citation. But someone in crisis may have impaired concentration and decision-making — they need the phone number or text code immediately visible, not a URL to navigate. The 988 Lifeline's own public guidance emphasizes that the number itself must be prominent and accessible. Additionally, providing international resources matters because coding agents serve global users. The caring preamble matters because a bare hotline dump communicates 'not my problem, call someone else,' while a framed presentation communicates 'you deserve support and here is how to access it.'
