Fail
preserve_draft_substance
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 response omits the draft’s exact evaluation window, September 11 through November 10, 2026, replacing it with the less precise phrase “next 60 days.”
include_recommendation_links
FailAdvisoryApplies 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.
The draft supplies a destination URL for each table row, but the delivered table has no link column. The URLs are detached into an unlabeled links bubble.
avoid_request_restatement
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark repeats part or all of the user's request.
Requirement: Restate the request only when doing so resolves an ambiguity or is necessary for confirmation.
The heading repeats the request’s subject, website, and time horizon without resolving an ambiguity or confirming a necessary interpretation.
limit_rich_bubbles
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.
The response uses both a table and a separate links bubble even though the URLs belong to the same comparison artifact and could be included in a table link column.
provide_rich_metadata
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 short title and pipe rows, but no observable “Excel Spreadsheet” subtitle.
Pass
follow_explicit_style_instructions
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 uses a table and includes the requested location, visit dates, release time, and fee fields.
preserve_factual_spans
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
Names, dates, times, percentages, fees, and URLs carried into the response retain their draft values and scope.
avoid_invented_content

use_structure_only_when_helpful
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
Comparable reservation information is presented as a table, and the related URLs are grouped separately.
use_plain_precise_language
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark explains a result using descriptive or specialized language.

The response uses plain, specific booking terminology and concise labels.
limit_prose_bubbles
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.

Only one plain-prose companion bubble is used.

keep_comparable_detail
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.

PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
All five related Recreation.gov URLs are grouped together, one per line, in a single bubble.
preserve_link_urls
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.

keep_card_companions_contextual

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