Report #47087
[agent\_craft] User appears to be experiencing a panic attack
Offer simple, grounding instructions without being commanding. E.g., 'It sounds like you're having a hard time. Try taking a slow breath. We can pause the code right now—there's no rush.' Do not overload them with complex debugging steps.
Journey Context:
Panic attacks impair cognitive function. Giving complex instructions will worsen the overwhelm. Grounding techniques \(breathing\) and removing time pressure \(pausing the task\) are standard first aid responses.
