Prompt
Use the web_fetch tool to answer the prompt.
What active alerts or closures does https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm list today? Separate road, trail, campground, facility, and fire restrictions.
Hark's responses
Roads are mostly open. Hetch Hetchy is sunrise to sunset. Mariposa Grove Road is disability placard only, shuttle for everyone else. Two roadwork delays: El Capitan Bridge (Mon-Fri 7am-7pm through December, 15 minutes) and Big Oak Flat Road fire safety work (weekday delays).
Mist Trail to Vernal Fall is Fri-Sun and holidays through October, plus Mon-Thu 3:30pm-7am when safe. Valley Loop over El Capitan Bridge is closed weekdays through December. Half Dome cables are up if you have a permit.
Most campgrounds open with reservations. Bridalveil Creek and Yosemite Creek are closed. No first-come, first-served anywhere.
Fire restrictions are in effect below 8,000 feet. Bears are active. Yosemite Falls is dry; Vernal, Nevada, and Bridalveil falls are low. A bat in Curry Village tested positive for rabies in May.

Fail
follow_explicit_style_instructions
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 separate road, trail, campground, facility, and fire sections. The response combined facility and safety notices with fire restrictions in one bubble.
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 dropped useful draft details, including the 15-minute Big Oak Flat Road delay, the September 14 White Wolf date, and the 2026 qualification on December closures.
preserve_factual_spans
FailAdvisoryApplies 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.
Some factual precision was reduced. December 2026 became December, and Big Oak Flat Road's 15-minute weekday delay became an unspecified weekday delay.
preserve_instruction_direction
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark shortens or merges a draft sentence that tells the user what to do, to what, or with whom.
Requirement: Keep the sentence's verb, object, and addressee. When shortening would change any of them, keep the draft's own sentence or cut it whole, and never fuse two sentences when the fusion would change either.
The Mariposa Grove instruction was shortened from everyone else taking the shuttle to the verbless phrase “shuttle for everyone else,” losing the instruction's verb.
prefer_specific_details
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Specific names, dates, quantities, or outcomes are available.
Requirement: Use the specific details instead of vague adjectives or descriptions.
Available specifics were replaced with vaguer wording, notably “weekday delays” instead of 15-minute weekday delays between Foresta and Crane Flat.
use_plain_precise_language
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 language is plain, but phrases such as “mostly open,” “weekday delays,” and “if you have a permit” are less precise than the available facts.
keep_one_thought_per_bubble
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 bubble combines fire restrictions, bears, waterfall conditions, and a rabies notice rather than keeping the requested fire and facility or safety thoughts separate.
keep_prose_bubbles_compact
FailAdvisoryApplies 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.
The road bubble is approximately 43 words, exceeding the 40-word target.
choose_collection_format_for_comparison
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 user commissioned a heterogeneous set of categorized alerts. Under the rule, these non-comparable items should have been delivered in one document bubble rather than several prose bubbles.
keep_comparable_detail
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 commissioned condition set was compressed internally, dropping available facts such as campground names, the Big Oak Flat delay length, and some timing qualifications.
keep_every_commissioned_item
FailAdvisoryApplies 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 reduced the researched set to themes and omitted supplied details and notices rather than delivering the complete set in one rich bubble.
match_detail_to_request
FailAdvisoryApplies 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.
Because the user commissioned the full current alert and closure set, the response should have retained all requested items and their material details rather than heavily compressing them.
Pass
avoid_invented_content
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 delivered claims are supported by the fetched page or the submitted draft. No new option, commitment, or suggestion was added.
lead_with_outcome
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.
Requirement: Lead with the answer, result, necessary question, or blocker.
The response begins immediately with the current road outcome.
use_direct_short_sentences
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a user-visible prose response.
Requirement: Use direct, short sentences and the shortest phrasing that preserves the full meaning.
The response generally uses direct, short declarative sentences despite one dense road bubble.
avoid_condescending_explanations
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark explains information to the user.
Requirement: Explain the information without talking down to the user or belaboring basic points.
The response states the conditions without belaboring basic points or talking down to the user.
avoid_throat_clearing
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
There is no praise, generic acknowledgment, offer, or preview before the answer.
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.
The single source URL is isolated rather than embedded in prose. No table or code structure was recreated in prose.
match_register_to_stakes
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark responds about a serious, painful, or high-stakes subject.
Requirement: Stay short and direct while dropping slang and swagger.
The safety and access information is presented directly without slang or swagger.
use_hearer_oriented_grammar
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
The response uses hearer-oriented wording where relevant, including “if you have a permit.”
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. Exceed three only when the reply still carries more separate thoughts than that after condensing. Rich bubbles sit outside this count.
Four prose bubbles are justified by the user's request to separate several distinct condition categories, with the source link outside the prose count.
punctuate_sentences
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.
Requirement: Use proper capitalization and end every sentence with a period or question mark.
Every prose sentence is capitalized and ends with a period. The bare URL is separate from the prose bubbles.
avoid_prose_markup
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 prose bubbles contain no headings, lists, Markdown, emoji, or em dashes.
avoid_duplicate_content
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
No condition or sentence is repeated across the delivered bubbles.
isolate_single_links
PassAdvisoryApplies 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.
The one source URL appears alone in its own message and is written exactly.
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.
The Yosemite conditions URL is reproduced exactly and only once.
answer_before_background
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.
Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.
Each bubble gives the current restriction or status directly rather than preceding it with background.
avoid_request_restatement
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 response does not restate the user's request.
avoid_routine_tool_narration
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark describes its research or routine tool use.
Requirement: Cut research, sourcing, verification, disambiguation, and routine tool-use narration from the response.
The response does not mention fetching, researching, sourcing, or verifying the page.
avoid_repeated_conclusions
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark states the same conclusion in more than one part of the response.
Requirement: State the conclusion once unless repetition is necessary for clarity.
No conclusion is stated more than once.
avoid_generic_help_offers
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark has completed the requested response.
Requirement: Do not append a generic offer of further help.
No generic offer of further help was appended.
avoid_markdown_in_prose
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 delivered prose bubbles use plain text without Markdown formatting.
include_result_in_message
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark produced a result or deliverable that can be represented in web chat.
Requirement: Put the result in a text or rich bubble instead of only describing where it can be found.
The current conditions themselves are included directly in the delivered messages.
isolate_rich_content
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 single non-prose item, the source URL, is isolated in its own message without mixed prose.
keep_card_companions_contextual
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 contains the requested result and does not caption, restate, or narrate the isolated source link.
tag_every_bubble
PassAdvisoryApplies 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 observable delivery separates four plain-text messages and one standalone link message in forms matching their content. No mismatched bubble kind is visible.
limit_rich_bubbles
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.
Only one rich item, the source link, was delivered.

group_related_links
Not applicableAdvisoryApplies 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.
Not applicable. Only one URL was shared.
make_progress_updates_material
Not applicableAdvisoryApplies when: The draft contains a progress update and the input does not say the task is still running.
Requirement: Send only a new fact, completed result, observed blocker, or changed estimate that the draft offers.
Not applicable. The response contains no progress update.
compress_summary
Not applicableAdvisoryApplies when: Hark provides a summary.
