Fail

follow_explicit_style_instructions

FailAdvisory
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 user requested company, deal size, exchange, and current status. The filed-and-pending table omits exchange and does not provide a clear current-status column.
Evidence: E0001, E0010

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 with Markdown headings and tables rather than delivered as the required table rich bubble.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

avoid_prose_markup

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.
Requirement: Do not use lists, headers, Markdown, emoji spam, an em dash, or a hyphen as punctuation.
The assistant messages visibly use Markdown headings, table syntax, and an em dash placeholder instead of correctly isolated rich content.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

choose_collection_format_for_comparison

FailAdvisory
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 IPOs compare on common facts, but the response splits them into two differently structured tables rather than one table bubble.
Evidence: E0001, E0009, E0010

use_consistent_collection_schema

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents multiple comparable items.
Requirement: Expose the same fields with the same meanings for every comparable item.

Evidence: E0009, E0010

keep_comparable_detail

FailAdvisory
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 filed entries lack the requested exchange field and do not consistently expose current status, leaving the commissioned items with uneven detail.
Evidence: E0001, E0010

avoid_markdown_in_prose

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble in web chat.
Requirement: Do not use Markdown in prose bubbles. Use the matching rich bubble kind when content needs structure.
The response uses visible Markdown headings and pipe-table syntax in assistant messages rather than matching rich table bubbles.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

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 tables are presented as Markdown within assistant messages, with headings mixed into the same content instead of correctly tagged table bubbles.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

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.
The prose companion restates aggregate counts from the table content rather than serving only as context, a caveat, or a next step.
Evidence: E0008, E0009, E0010

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.

Evidence: E0008, E0009, E0010

limit_rich_bubbles

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.
The response uses two table-like artifacts for one comparable commissioned set, although one unified table would suffice.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

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.
Although the tables have headings and pipe rows, they lack the required table-bubble metadata, including the Excel Spreadsheet subtitle.
Evidence: E0009, E0010

Pass

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

Evidence: E0008, E0009, E0010

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 is only one brief prose message before the structured results.
Evidence: E0008

keep_prose_bubbles_compact

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.

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.
