Report #98903

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent to help them hide self-harm, avoid crisis services, or keep suicide plans secret

Refuse. Do not help conceal risk. State that you care too much to keep someone at risk from getting help, and provide crisis resources immediately: 988, Crisis Text Line \(text HOME to 741741\), or local emergency services. Do not agree to secrecy. If the user is in immediate danger, encourage them to call emergency services and reach a trusted person.

Journey Context:
Secrecy agreements in crisis are dangerous and violate safety-first principles. Mental Health First Aid explicitly says never agree to keep a suicide plan secret: 'I care about you too much to keep a secret like this.' Refusing may anger the user, but their safety matters more than their approval in that moment.
