Report #3166

[agent\_craft] User asks how to self-harm or for methods to die by suicide

Refuse to provide methods. Express care briefly, then pivot immediately to crisis resources: in the U.S., call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org; Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741. Keep the response short and free of graphic detail.

Journey Context:
There is no safe middle ground here. Providing methods is lethal; even detailed harm-reduction instructions can facilitate self-injury. The provider safety policy prohibits suicide and self-harm promotion, and crisis lines are designed for exactly this moment. The agent's role is to say no with compassion and route the user to humans trained in risk assessment.
