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 required player, team, status, and opponent. The A.J. Brown row substitutes a return estimate for the opponent, and the Jake Tonges row says only “next game.”

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.
“Out until mid-October” changes the more qualified and precise “out until ~Oct 18” wording. It presents an estimated return as a firmer interval.

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.
The response uses vague forms such as “mid-October,” “down,” and “next game” where the response otherwise relies on specific dates and matchups.

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 displayed as a Markdown table rather than an observably 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.
Phrases such as “biggest hit,” “down,” and “next game” are less precise than the surrounding injury statuses and matchup details.

limit_prose_bubbles

FailAdvisory
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.
Two prose companions surround the table, but the second companion carries two details and merely repeats table content rather than adding one necessary detail.

keep_one_thought_per_bubble

FailAdvisory
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 final prose message combines separate updates about A.J. Brown and Brock Bowers in one bubble.

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 response visibly uses a Markdown heading and Markdown table syntax in an assistant message.

avoid_duplicate_content

FailAdvisory
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 Atlanta quarterback conclusion repeats the first two table rows, while the final message repeats the A.J. Brown and Brock Bowers rows.

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 Opponent column does not have a consistent meaning: A.J. Brown’s cell contains a return estimate, and Jake Tonges’s contains only “next game.”

include_ranking_column

FailAdvisory
Applies when: The user asks for the cheapest, fastest, lightest, or another ranked comparison.
Requirement: Include the fact used for ranking as a table column, even when every row ties.
The user asked for the most consequential injuries, but the table includes no consequence, impact, or rank column supporting that comparison.

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 assistant output visibly contains a Markdown heading and pipe-table markup rather than an observably separate rich table card.

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 appears as Markdown within a generic assistant message, not as an observably isolated and 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.
The prose companions summarize and repeat card content rather than supplying a distinct caveat or necessary next step.

tag_every_bubble

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends any bubble.

The evidence shows generic assistant messages and no matching text or table bubble tags.

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 pipe rows and a title, but no “Excel Spreadsheet” subtitle is visible.

Pass

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.
The delivered table retains all 15 selected injuries and the draft’s main conclusion about Atlanta’s quarterbacks.

avoid_invented_content

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

The response begins with the conclusion rather than praise, acknowledgment, or a preview.

avoid_forbidden_social_phrases

PassAdvisory
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.
Although the response gives an opinion about the biggest impact, it uses no bro-speak and does not say Hark would love or feels something.

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.

keep_every_commissioned_item

Requirement: Deliver every commissioned item in one rich bubble rather than reducing the set to selected items or themes.

PassAdvisory
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.

answer_before_background

Applies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.
Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.
The main consequence judgment appears before the supporting table.

match_detail_to_request

PassAdvisory
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.
The user commissioned a set of consequential injuries, and the response provides a compact comparison rather than unrelated background.

keep_narrow_screens_readable

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents structured content in web chat.

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.

avoid_unwarranted_social_language
