Fail

use_direct_short_sentences

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible prose response.

The final prose bubble is one long sentence containing many unrelated case outcomes.

keep_one_thought_per_bubble

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends more than one prose bubble.

The last prose bubble combines numerous separate tax and child-exploitation cases into one bubble.

keep_prose_bubbles_compact

FailAdvisory
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.

punctuate_sentences

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.
Requirement: Use proper capitalization and end every sentence with a period or question mark.

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 opening prose bubble uses a hyphen as date-range punctuation in “Sept 4-11.”

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 twelve principal actions use a table, but additional comparable enforcement actions are placed in prose instead of the same collection.

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.
One row combines Hawaii, the District of Columbia, Arkansas, and Utah even though the description identifies separate complaints against each jurisdiction.

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.
The table uses four consistent fields, but the additional cases in prose omit defendant, allegation, jurisdiction, or full procedural-status fields.

keep_every_commissioned_item

FailAdvisory
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.
Several additional enforcement items are outside the rich comparison table rather than included in one rich bubble with the set.

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.
The prose after the rich content is far longer than the allowed 20-word takeaway sentence.

compress_summary

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides a summary.

Applies when: Hark provides a summary.
Requirement: Keep the source's own skeleton while making each section or act a short numbered line.
The summary does not use short numbered lines preserving the source's item skeleton.

keep_summary_qualifications_local

Some allegations are stated declaratively without keeping the source qualification local, such as the claims involving Dompé and Sergei Filimonov.

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 table and prose addendum rather than short numbered lines in 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 four-column table contains several long text-heavy cells and is unnecessarily wide for a narrow screen.

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 trailing prose is not a brief companion sentence; it adds a long second collection of cases beside the rich content.

limit_rich_bubbles

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.
The table and its source links are split into two rich bubbles even though the links could be included as a focused table column rather than treated as a distinct artifact.

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.

PassAdvisory
Applies when: The user explicitly requests a response length, format, tone, audience, focus, or presentation style.

The response uses the four requested fields: defendant, allegation, jurisdiction, and procedural status.

preserve_draft_substance

PassAdvisory
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.

preserve_factual_spans

PassAdvisory

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 with substantive scope and result information rather than praise or generic acknowledgment.

use_structure_only_when_helpful

PassAdvisory
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 comparable enforcement actions are presented as a table and the related URLs as a link set.

use_plain_precise_language

PassAdvisory
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.

Requirement: Stay short and direct while dropping slang and swagger.
The neutral, direct register is appropriate for serious criminal and civil enforcement matters.

use_hearer_oriented_grammar

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Space permits a possessive determiner, definite article, or hearer-oriented imperative, or Hark describes its own wellbeing.

No awkward self-focused grammar or incorrect wellbeing phrasing 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.
The response uses two prose bubbles around the rich content, within the advised limit.

avoid_duplicate_content

PassAdvisory

Requirement: Send each piece of content once across the reply.
The table content, URLs, and additional cases are each delivered once.

keep_comparable_detail

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark delivers multiple commissioned items.

All twelve related DOJ URLs are grouped together, one per line, in one link set.

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 summary follows the requested focus on defendant, allegation, jurisdiction, and procedural status.

avoid_markdown_in_prose

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

tag_every_bubble

PassAdvisory

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.

Applies when: The user requests a summary without specifying a length or format.
