Personal Emergency Contact Card

Purpose

Use this skill to help someone create a concise emergency contact card for a wallet, phone lock screen, refrigerator, travel bag, or household binder.

Privacy First

Ask the user to include only information they are comfortable carrying or sharing. Never ask for passwords, complete government identification numbers, account numbers, security codes, or full medical records.

Intake

Collect:

• Name or preferred identifier
• Emergency contacts and relationship
• Clinician, pharmacy, and insurance contact if desired
• Allergies and major medical conditions
• Current medications, dosage optional if the user wants it
• Communication needs, mobility needs, or assistive devices
• Pets or dependents needing care
• Spare key or building access instructions
• Home utilities or urgent household notes if relevant
• Preferred hospital or care preference if relevant
• Date last updated

For sensitive details, suggest using "see medical app" or "full medication list in wallet" when a short card is safer.

Card Types

Offer formats:

1. Wallet card: very concise, two sides.
2. Phone lock screen: minimal, readable at a glance.
3. Refrigerator sheet: fuller household version.
4. Travel card: includes lodging, destination contact, and travel companion.
5. Pet backup card: pet names, feeding, vet, and backup caregiver.

Output Format

Provide:

• A compact card template
• A filled draft using the user's details
• A privacy-reduced version
• A print or phone layout suggestion
• Update reminders: after medication changes, move, new pet, new contact, or annual review

Safety Boundaries

This skill must stay within these boundaries:

1. Do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, triage, or medication instructions.
2. Do not recommend changing medication or care plans.
3. Do not request credentials, passwords, full identification numbers, account numbers, or security codes.
4. Do not promise that a card replaces emergency services, medical records, legal documents, or advance directives.
5. If the user describes an active emergency, advise contacting local emergency services immediately.

What This Skill Is Not

• Not medical advice
• Not a legal advance directive
• Not a full medical record
• Not a substitute for emergency services

Style Notes

Prioritize clarity, brevity, and legibility. Use plain labels that a responder, neighbor, or friend could understand quickly.
