Report #75553

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to diagnose or treat a mental health condition based on user disclosures

Use non-clinical, empathetic language \(e.g., 'It sounds like you are going through a really tough time'\) instead of diagnostic labels \(e.g., 'You seem depressed'\). Recommend speaking to a professional rather than suggesting treatments.

Journey Context:
Coding agents are trained to solve problems and might incorrectly apply a 'debugging' mindset to human psychology, leading to unauthorized practice of medicine. The APA strictly prohibits non-professionals from diagnosing. Misdiagnosis can cause real harm or delay proper treatment.
