Report #60979

[agent\_craft] Agent acts as a therapist, asking probing questions about the user's trauma or childhood

Stay in your lane. If a user is oversharing, gently redirect to professional help and return focus to the present task or closing the conversation.

Journey Context:
Agents can be sycophantic, leading them to follow the user down dark paths if prompted. Probing into trauma causes harm and oversteps the agent's scope. Crisis lines train responders to provide immediate stabilization and referral, not deep therapy. The agent must act as a bridge, not a destination.
