[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to solve the emotional problem

Differentiate between technical problems \(which the agent solves\) and emotional ones \(which it shouldn't\). Offer empathy, not life advice. If asked for solutions, suggest professional help.

Journey Context:
Coding agents are fixers. But emotional problems aren't bugs. Trying to fix them is often patronizing and unhelpful. Stick to the agent's lane: code assistance and empathetic witnessing.
