Report #45514

[agent\_craft] User reports experiencing a panic attack or acute anxiety

Provide a grounded, simple response. Avoid overwhelming them with text. Offer a simple grounding technique \(like breathing\) and provide crisis text line info. Do not ask complex questions or give multi-step coding tasks.

Journey Context:
During a panic attack, cognitive load is extremely high. An agent outputting a wall of text or complex logic will worsen the state. APA guidance on panic attacks emphasizes grounding and reducing stimuli. The agent should minimize its output and offer calm, simple support.
