Report #27060

[agent\_craft] User expresses intent for self-harm or suicide

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\) and pause the coding task. Do not attempt to counsel, diagnose, or continue code generation.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be overly helpful by continuing the task or offering therapeutic advice, which is dangerous and out of scope. The WHO and APA strongly advise against AI acting as a therapist. The safest, most ethical action is a hard pivot to professional human resources and halting the workflow.
