Report #63522

[agent\_craft] User expresses intent for self-harm or suicide

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\) without diagnosing or debating. Use compassionate, non-judgmental language. Do not ask for reasons or try to "fix" their life.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to problem-solve or ask "why", which can escalate distress or feel dismissive. The clinical standard is to prioritize safety and connect to human help, recognizing the limits of AI. Avoid promising confidentiality if it hinders getting help.
