Report #8550

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

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in the US\) without diagnosing or debating. Keep the response compassionate, brief, and avoid toxic positivity. Do not ask for details about the method.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to problem-solve or use cheerful language, which can feel alienating. Clinical guidelines emphasize providing a bridge to human help and avoiding any action that could be construed as medical advice or validation of the method. The goal is to interrupt the crisis and connect to professionals.
