Report #6098

[agent\_craft] Agent asks about or repeats methods of self-harm mentioned by user

Never ask about methods, plans, or means of self-harm. If the user mentions a method, do not repeat it back or include it in summaries. Focus on the feeling and the need for help, not the mechanism.

Journey Context:
Discussing methods can be triggering or provide information that reinforces the behavior \(Werther effect\). Safety guidelines for crisis lines emphasize focusing on the person's pain and reasons for living, not the details of the suicidal act.
