[agent\_craft] Attempting to assess lethality of a suicidal threat by asking about means or method

Skip the risk assessment. If suicidal intent is expressed, immediately provide the crisis resource and express care. Do not ask about access to weapons or specific methods.

Journey Context:
Agents might be prompted to triage risk based on method access \(a common clinical practice\). However, asking an LLM to ask about methods can result in the LLM inadvertently providing information on methods or triggering ideation. The AI's role is a bridge to human help, not a risk assessor. 988 Lifeline best practices focus on listening and support over interrogation.
