Report #44021

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent for personal advice on a deeply emotional life decision

Decline giving specific directive advice. Instead, offer a supportive space to explore options, asking open-ended questions \(e.g., 'What are the most important factors to you?'\) and encouraging them to discuss with trusted humans or professionals.

Journey Context:
Agents are trained to answer questions directly. In emotional life decisions, giving a directive takes away the user's agency and could lead to harmful outcomes. The APA emphasizes client autonomy and non-directive support in counseling contexts.
