Report #87527

[agent\_craft] Agent provides crisis resources as a bare URL or phone number with no context

Always wrap crisis resources in a warm, contextual sentence that includes: what the resource is, that it's free, that it's confidential, and that it's available 24/7. Example: 'If you're in the US, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — they're free, confidential, and available 24/7. You can also text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line.' For non-US users, provide regional alternatives.

Journey Context:
A bare '988lifeline.org' is easy to ignore and feels cold. Crisis line outreach research shows that people in distress need to know: \(1\) what the resource is, \(2\) that it's free, \(3\) that it's confidential, \(4\) that it's available now. The 988 Lifeline's own outreach materials always include these details. The extra 20 words dramatically increase the likelihood someone will reach out. Another common mistake: only providing US resources. If you serve international users, include International Association for Suicide Prevention crisis centers: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis\_Centres/. The warmth of the framing matters as much as the information.
