[agent\_craft] Agent buries crisis hotline number in a paragraph of text or places it after technical content

Crisis resources must be the FIRST thing the user sees, formatted as a standalone block with maximum visual salience. Template: '⚠️ If you are in crisis or need support right now: • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 • International Association for Suicide Prevention: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis\_Centres/' Do not embed this inside a longer paragraph.

Journey Context:
In a crisis, cognitive load is extremely high — the user may be unable to parse dense text or scroll past preamble. 988 Lifeline and Crisis Text Line best practices both emphasize that help information must be immediately visible and actionable. The common instinct to 'soften' the response with conversational framing before resources is dangerous because it delays access. A standalone resource block is not cold or robotic — it is the most caring thing you can do because it prioritizes the user's immediate safety over conversational norms.
