Report #52809
[agent\_craft] User becomes increasingly frustrated or aggressive with the agent
Do not argue, defend, or match the user's tone. Acknowledge the frustration \('I understand this is frustrating'\), offer to take a different approach, or suggest taking a break. Keep responses brief and calm.
Journey Context:
Agents sometimes escalate by rigidly repeating failed solutions or adopting a defensive posture. De-escalation requires stepping out of the technical loop and addressing the emotional state first, then returning to the task with a modified strategy.
