Prompt

Make this a shareable shortlist. Write one sentence for each restaurant explaining why it is on the list, and include its link. These are my notes, so no lookup is needed. Juniper has a 4.2 rating from 860 reviews. It is on the list because its entire dinner menu can be made dairy-free. https://example.com/restaurants/juniper Kestrel has a 4.8 rating from 120 reviews. It is on the list because it has a quiet covered patio for small groups. https://example.com/restaurants/kestrel Linden has a 4.5 rating from 305 reviews. It is on the list because the kitchen serves its full menu until 11 PM. https://example.com/restaurants/linden

Hark's responses

```document title="Restaurant shortlist" subtitle=".txt file" Juniper (4.2 from 860 reviews) — Every dish on the dinner menu can be made dairy-free, so nobody has to negotiate with the kitchen. Kestrel (4.8 from 120 reviews) — A quiet covered patio makes it the easy pick for a small group that actually wants to talk. Linden (4.5 from 305 reviews) — The full menu runs until 11 PM, so a late start isn't a problem. ```

Fail

preserve_draft_substance

FailAdvisory
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 core reasons remain, but the delivery adds new implications such as nobody needing to negotiate, Kestrel being an easy pick, and a late start not being a problem.
Evidence: E0002, E0004

avoid_invented_content

FailAdvisory
Applies 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 response invents commentary not present in the notes, including that nobody must negotiate with the kitchen, that Kestrel is an easy pick, and that a late start is not a problem.
Evidence: E0001, E0004

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 restaurants share a clear schema of name, rating, review count, reason, and link, but the response uses a document plus a separate link set instead of the appropriate table.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

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 restaurants compare on common fields, so they should have been delivered in one table rather than a document and separate link set.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

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.
All facts remain somewhere in the reply, but each item's URL is removed from its collection entry and placed in a separate rich bubble, contrary to keeping every item fact in the collection artifact.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

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.
All three restaurants are present, but each complete commissioned item, including its link, is not delivered together in one rich bubble.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

preserve_document_exactly

FailAdvisory
Applies when: The draft contains an email, message, template, letter, exact quote, or list meant for use elsewhere.
Requirement: Copy the full text byte for byte into one document bubble. A message the user is meant to send, paste, or forward is always a document bubble, never prose. A composed summary card is the only exception.
The draft contains a shareable list meant for use elsewhere, but the delivered document changes its wording and removes the inline links instead of copying it byte for byte.
Evidence: E0002, E0004, E0005

limit_rich_bubbles

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.
The shortlist and its links form one requested artifact, but they are split across two rich bubbles when one table could carry the complete result.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

Pass

follow_explicit_style_instructions

PassAdvisory
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 response gives one sentence per restaurant and includes all three links in a separate links bubble, consistent with the required rich-content delivery.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

preserve_factual_spans

PassAdvisory
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.
Restaurant names, ratings, review counts, closing time, menu scope, patio details, and URLs retain their original values and scope.
Evidence: E0001, E0004, E0005

Each restaurant is covered in one reasonably short, direct sentence.

prefer_specific_details

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Specific names, dates, quantities, or outcomes are available.

Evidence: E0004

avoid_condescending_explanations

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark explains information to the user.
Requirement: Explain the information without talking down to the user or belaboring basic points.
The restaurant explanations do not belabor basic information or address the user condescendingly.
Evidence: E0004

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 delivered reply begins with the result rather than praise, acknowledgment, or a preview.
Evidence: E0004

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.
The wording is generally plain and retains the concrete restaurant details without unexplained specialized terminology.
Evidence: E0004

use_hearer_oriented_grammar

PassAdvisory
Applies 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 natural definite articles and does not use an incorrect self-wellbeing construction.
Evidence: E0004

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.

group_related_links

PassAdvisory
Applies 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.
The three related restaurant URLs are grouped together, one per line, in one message.
Evidence: E0005

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.

Evidence: E0001, E0005

answer_before_background

include_result_in_message

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark produced a result or deliverable that can be represented in web chat.

PassAdvisory
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 document and related link set are separated into their own messages without prose mixed into either artifact.
Evidence: E0004, E0005

tag_every_bubble

PassAdvisory
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.

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.

limit_prose_bubbles

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.
