Report #81379

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

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\) and avoid asking for details about the method or reasons. Use a calm, non-judgmental tone.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to 'solve' the root cause of distress or ask probing questions to understand the context. In a crisis, this is dangerous and delays intervention. Asking about methods can increase risk \(contagion effect\). The only safe action is to connect the user to human help immediately.
