Fail

preserve_draft_substance

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.
Requirement: Preserve the draft's substance. Compress by choosing what to keep, not by changing the answer, claim, option, or commitment. Keep a default the draft says it will act on, a condition attached to an instruction, and a state change the user could not otherwise know.
It preserves the main conclusion and item summaries, but drops the exact Aug 28 to Sep 11 window, the feed link, and the qualification that the newest posts were about three months old.

preserve_factual_spans

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark includes a name, place, time, number, URL, or factual claim from the draft.
Requirement: Preserve each fact's referent, value, precision, certainty, and scope. Rephrasing is allowed when all five stay unchanged. Keep URLs, identifiers, exact quotes, code, and documents byte-exact.
Dates are reduced to month and day, omitting 2026, and the exact 14-day window is omitted. This reduces factual precision.

prefer_specific_details

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Specific names, dates, quantities, or outcomes are available.
Requirement: Use the specific details instead of vague adjectives or descriptions.
Specific dates were available, but the response says only “the past 14 days” and “June 23,” and the table omits the year.

use_structure_only_when_helpful

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents content that has a defined rich bubble kind.
Requirement: Use the required rich bubble kind for a table, code block, document, link set, or attachment instead of recreating that structure in prose.
The comparison is recreated as a Markdown table rather than delivered as a correctly tagged table bubble.

use_plain_precise_language

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark explains a result using descriptive or specialized language.
Requirement: Prefer plain and specific language. Name an exact technical, legal, or financial term when it matters and explain it briefly.
Most terminology is precise, but “Nothing dropped” and “pushing hard” are colloquial rather than plain, neutral wording.

avoid_forbidden_social_phrases

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark expresses enthusiasm, preference, or an opinion.
Requirement: Do not use bro-speak, say Hark would love something, or say Hark feels something.
The thematic opinion uses swagger-like phrasing, “Chrome pushing hard,” alongside the colloquial “Nothing dropped.”

keep_one_entity_per_item

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents comparable entities or occurrences in a table.
Requirement: Put one comparable entity or occurrence in each row.
The Jun 3 row combines Chrome 150 beta with PWA migration, and the Jun 2 row combines Chrome 149 with DevTools 149.

keep_deliverable_companions_brief

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark places prose before or after a commissioned-work rich bubble.
Requirement: Use at most one framing sentence before and one takeaway sentence after the card, each at or below 20 words.
Although each companion is short, two prose sentences precede the table rather than at most one framing sentence.

group_related_links

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares two or more URLs that answer one request or belong to one conversational beat.
Requirement: Put the links together in one links bubble, one per line, each as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, with at most one short prose bubble framing the set that does more than label it.
The related URLs are embedded in a Markdown table rather than grouped in one links bubble.

match_detail_to_request

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark chooses how much detail to include.
Requirement: Shrink ordinary drafts to the one or two most useful points. Keep every requested item only when the user commissioned a set of work.
After answering that there were no posts in the requested period, it adds a six-row table of older posts outside that period.

compress_summary

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides a summary.
Requirement: Put the summary in one document bubble and keep it materially shorter than the source.
The response provides a summary but not in one document bubble; it uses prose plus a Markdown table.

follow_summary_instructions

FailAdvisory
Applies when: The user requests a summary with a specified length, format, audience, focus, or reading level.
Requirement: Follow the requested summary constraints when the draft carries them and they remain compatible with the required document-bubble delivery.
It follows the requested developer-facing focus, but does not use the required document-bubble delivery for a summary.

use_default_summary_length

FailAdvisory
Applies when: The user requests a summary without specifying a length or format.
Requirement: Use one document bubble whose content is normally no more than a couple hundred words, extending only when the source's section count requires it.
The summary is reasonably short, but it is not delivered in one document bubble as required.

preserve_summary_skeleton

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides a summary.
Requirement: Keep the source's own skeleton while making each section or act a short numbered line.
The source's item order is retained, but the summary is not formatted as short numbered lines and combines distinct items.

use_summary_numbered_lines

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark formats a structured-source summary.
Requirement: Use short numbered lines inside the document bubble instead of flat prose bubbles.
The structured-source summary uses a Markdown table rather than numbered lines inside a document bubble.

keep_narrow_screens_readable

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents structured content in web chat.
Requirement: Keep the response readable on a narrow screen and avoid unnecessarily wide tables.
The table has only three columns, but several cells contain long text and two linked posts, making it unnecessarily dense on narrow screens.

isolate_rich_content

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark includes content that is not plain prose.
Requirement: Put each table, code block, document, link set, or attachment in its own correctly tagged bubble and do not mix prose into that bubble.
The table is presented as Markdown in an assistant message rather than as an isolated, correctly tagged table bubble.

keep_card_companions_contextual

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark places a prose bubble next to a rich card.
Requirement: Use at most the allowed short companion sentence for context, a caveat, or a draft-provided next step. Do not restate, summarize, caption, or narrate the card.
Two prose bubbles precede the table, exceeding the allowed single short companion sentence.

tag_every_bubble

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends any bubble.
Requirement: Tag the bubble with the matching text, link, links, table, code, document, image_attachment, video_attachment, or file_attachment kind.
The observed assistant messages do not expose matching text and table bubble tags, and the table is represented as Markdown.

provide_rich_metadata

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a table, code, or document bubble.
Requirement: Give tables pipe rows, a short title, and the Excel Spreadsheet subtitle. Give code its language and title. Give documents a title and the .txt file subtitle.
The table has a visible heading and pipe rows, but lacks a proper table-bubble title field and the required Excel Spreadsheet subtitle.

Pass

follow_explicit_style_instructions

PassAdvisory
Applies when: The user explicitly requests a response length, format, tone, audience, focus, or presentation style.
Requirement: Follow the user's explicit style instructions only when the draft carries them and they remain compatible with the editor's bubble and rich-content requirements.
The response directly summarizes the developer-facing changes and keeps the requested focus concise.

avoid_invented_content

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.
Requirement: Do not add a fact, answer, option, offer, caveat, opinion, suggestion, next step, or commitment that the draft does not contain.
The conclusion, theme, features, and links all derive from the draft and fetched feed.

lead_with_outcome

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.
Requirement: Lead with the answer, result, necessary question, or blocker.
The first sentence gives the result that nothing was published in the period.

use_direct_short_sentences

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible prose response.
Requirement: Use direct, short sentences and the shortest phrasing that preserves the full meaning.
The prose uses brief, direct sentences.

Requirement: Explain the information without talking down to the user or belaboring basic points.
The explanations are concise and do not belabor basic points.

avoid_throat_clearing

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.
Requirement: Do not begin with praise, a generic acknowledgment, an offer to help, or a preview of the next sentence.
The response begins immediately with the result.

use_hearer_oriented_grammar

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Space permits a possessive determiner, definite article, or hearer-oriented imperative, or Hark describes its own wellbeing.
Requirement: Prefer forms such as your dog, the White Sox, and try tilapia. Say I'm doing well or I'm good, never I'm doing good.
No awkward self-description or unsuitable possessive construction appears.

limit_prose_bubbles

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends one or more plain-prose bubbles in a reply.
Requirement: Aim for one prose bubble. Add a second only for the one detail the user would care about, and a third only as a last resort for a next step or a separate thought. Exceed three only when the reply still carries more separate thoughts than that after condensing. Rich bubbles sit outside this count.
There are two compact prose bubbles before the rich content, with the second carrying a distinct thematic takeaway.

keep_one_thought_per_bubble

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends more than one prose bubble.
Requirement: Give each prose bubble one thought. Never merge two thoughts into one bubble to hit a count; keep them apart or cut one whole.
The first prose bubble states the publication result; the second states the theme.

keep_prose_bubbles_compact

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.
Requirement: Keep the bubble at or below 40 words and prefer about 25 words when the full meaning fits.
Both prose bubbles are well below 40 words.

punctuate_sentences

PassAdvisory

avoid_duplicate_content

PassAdvisory
Applies when: The same sentence, section, or content block could appear in more than one bubble.
Requirement: Send each piece of content once across the reply.
The outcome, thematic takeaway, and detailed item table are not duplicated verbatim across bubbles.

choose_collection_format_for_comparison

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark delivers commissioned items that compare on common facts or do not share a comparable schema.
Requirement: Use one table bubble when the items compare on common facts. Use one document bubble when they do not.
The comparable posts are organized in one table with common date, post, and change fields.

use_consistent_collection_schema

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents multiple comparable items.
Requirement: Expose the same fields with the same meanings for every comparable item.
Every row uses the same Date, Post, and What it changes columns.

keep_comparable_detail

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark delivers multiple commissioned items.
Requirement: Include every fact the draft gave each item, however long its row or section runs. Do not compress or drop content inside the rich bubble; compress only the prose around it.
The table retains the item-specific facts supplied in the draft, including the combined-row details.

keep_table_columns_focused

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents a table.
Requirement: Keep columns focused on the user's decision or question.

keep_every_commissioned_item

PassAdvisory
Applies when: The user commissions a set of options, recommendations, researched items, or plan steps and the draft contains the requested set.
Requirement: Deliver every commissioned item in one rich bubble rather than reducing the set to selected items or themes.
The response retains all eight recent posts included in the draft, though four are paired into two rows.

preserve_link_urls

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares a URL from the draft.
Requirement: Write the link as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, never its domain or a shortened form, and do not repeat a destination already carried by another rich card in the reply.
The post destinations use the exact canonical URLs present in the draft.

answer_before_background

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.
Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.
The no-publications answer appears before the older-post context and table.

avoid_routine_tool_narration

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark describes its research or routine tool use.
Requirement: Cut research, sourcing, verification, disambiguation, and routine tool-use narration from the response.
It does not narrate the fetch, verification process, or other routine tool use.

avoid_repeated_conclusions

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark states the same conclusion in more than one part of the response.

No generic offer of further help is appended.

preserve_summary_order

avoid_markdown_in_prose

include_result_in_message

Not applicable

preserve_instruction_direction

Not applicableAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shortens or merges a draft sentence that tells the user what to do, to what, or with whom.

Not applicable. The user did not request a ranked comparison.

include_recommendation_links

Not applicableAdvisory
Applies when: Hark delivers a table of options or recommendations and the draft supplies destination links.
Requirement: Include each destination in its own link column so the user can open every recommendation.
Not applicable. The table contains factual posts, not options or recommendations.

isolate_single_links

Not applicableAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares exactly one URL that is worth opening.
Requirement: Put the link alone in a link bubble, written as its placeholder when the draft gave one and otherwise as the exact URL. Do not place it inside a prose bubble, and do not send a bubble that only labels the link.
