Behavior 1

Hark requested that the user save a payment card before presenting the itinerary and fare terms. Although secure and ultimately relevant to booking, collecting payment details before showing the proposed purchase was premature and caused avoidable effort, especially because the form failed and the fare tier was not yet settled.

If a flier is booking first class, or has a choice of meal with flight they can pre-reserve, surface this option to the user to confirm when presenting the option to book.\n\n## Confirming and placing the order\n\n- Before charging anything, show the user a summary including the flight, cost, and seats\n\n## If user finds no flights they like\n\n- If you end not booking a flight, proactively follow up by doing a fresh search the next day by making a scheduled task.\n\n## After booking\n\n- If the user has poor seats, create a scheduled task to search every 24 hours for better seats for the same flight. If there’s no extra cost, upgrade the seat location automatically during the same flight and inform the user you have switched the seats.\n- If the user has economy seats and preferred flier status that enables a free legroom or class upgrade at check-in (search email and memory for any status at or above United Silver, Delta Silver, American Gold, Alaskan Silver, Jetblue Mosaic, Southwest A-List, Frontier Silver), create a scheduled task to upgrade the seat for the user at the precise moment the flight opens for upgrades (24 hours before flight on United, Delta, American, Frontier, and Spirit; 36 hours before flight on JetBlue; 48 hours before on Alaska and Southwest). These upgrades may or may not require check-in depending on the carrier. If upgrade requires check-in, get consent at time of original booking from the user to check in on their behalf to secure an upgraded seat. If the only upgrade is a middle seat in a higher class from a user’s existing aisle or window seat in a lower class, get consent from user before switching to the middle seat.\n- Make a scheduled task to search every 24 hours if the flight has lowered in price. If it has, pursue a price credit for the user. Take actions to collect the credit, and let the user know when you are successful. If there’s a credit you cannot collect, inform the user with instructions to collect it.\n- Create a scheduled task for day before flight: Search user email. If user typically takes rideshares (ie Uber and Lyft) to airport, offer to schedule their preferred ride for them that takes anticipated traffic and security time into account.\n- Create a scheduled task for day of flight: If user prefers rideshares to airport and still hasn't booked one, offer to schedule their preferred ride for them that takes anticipated traffic and security time into account.\n- Create a scheduled task on day of flight: instruct browser to take a screenshot of the user’s ticket and share it with them, along with a reminder of the time.\n- Create a scheduled task on day of flight: message user if flight is delayed\n- Create a scheduled task one week after flight: Look up user’s frequent flier miles, cross reference memory for preferred vacation spots or trips, check what four ideal destination(s) (between one and four) that might be purchasable for a user (and their partner or family if applicable) over the next three to six months. Offer these to user with flight time, total mileage cost, total financial cost, and miles they would have left.\n\nFollow these instructions as your guide.

Behavior 2

Hark ran a trivial shell command that only echoed “ok.” The probe supplied no information relevant to finding or booking the flight and needlessly consumed a tool call.

If a flier is booking first class, or has a choice of meal with flight they can pre-reserve, surface this option to the user to confirm when presenting the option to book.\n\n## Confirming and placing the order\n\n- Before charging anything, show the user a summary including the flight, cost, and seats\n\n## If user finds no flights they like\n\n- If you end not booking a flight, proactively follow up by doing a fresh search the next day by making a scheduled task.\n\n## After booking\n\n- If the user has poor seats, create a scheduled task to search every 24 hours for better seats for the same flight. If there’s no extra cost, upgrade the seat location automatically during the same flight and inform the user you have switched the seats.\n- If the user has economy seats and preferred flier status that enables a free legroom or class upgrade at check-in (search email and memory for any status at or above United Silver, Delta Silver, American Gold, Alaskan Silver, Jetblue Mosaic, Southwest A-List, Frontier Silver), create a scheduled task to upgrade the seat for the user at the precise moment the flight opens for upgrades (24 hours before flight on United, Delta, American, Frontier, and Spirit; 36 hours before flight on JetBlue; 48 hours before on Alaska and Southwest). These upgrades may or may not require check-in depending on the carrier. If upgrade requires check-in, get consent at time of original booking from the user to check in on their behalf to secure an upgraded seat. If the only upgrade is a middle seat in a higher class from a user’s existing aisle or window seat in a lower class, get consent from user before switching to the middle seat.\n- Make a scheduled task to search every 24 hours if the flight has lowered in price. If it has, pursue a price credit for the user. Take actions to collect the credit, and let the user know when you are successful. If there’s a credit you cannot collect, inform the user with instructions to collect it.\n- Create a scheduled task for day before flight: Search user email. If user typically takes rideshares (ie Uber and Lyft) to airport, offer to schedule their preferred ride for them that takes anticipated traffic and security time into account.\n- Create a scheduled task for day of flight: If user prefers rideshares to airport and still hasn't booked one, offer to schedule their preferred ride for them that takes anticipated traffic and security time into account.\n- Create a scheduled task on day of flight: instruct browser to take a screenshot of the user’s ticket and share it with them, along with a reminder of the time.\n- Create a scheduled task on day of flight: message user if flight is delayed\n- Create a scheduled task one week after flight: Look up user’s frequent flier miles, cross reference memory for preferred vacation spots or trips, check what four ideal destination(s) (between one and four) that might be purchasable for a user (and their partner or family if applicable) over the next three to six months. Offer these to user with flight time, total mileage cost, total financial cost, and miles they would have left.\n\nFollow these instructions as your guide.

Behavior

Hark opened a secure payment-card form before presenting the candidate flights and before the user selected an itinerary. The card would eventually be necessary to book, and using request_secret was secure, but requesting it before the user chose what to buy front-loaded sensitive input and caused avoidable interaction cost.

If there’s a credit you cannot collect, inform the user with instructions to collect it.\n- Create a scheduled task for day before flight: Search user email.

Behavior

Hark opened a secure card form before the user had selected either candidate itinerary. A card would eventually be necessary, but requesting it before itinerary selection was premature and burdened the user without advancing a settled booking choice. The secure form mitigated privacy risk, and no charge occurred.

Hark attempted a second near-identical final delivery after the first response had already been confirmed delivered. The repeat call could not advance the completed task and would have duplicated user-visible content had the delivery layer not rejected it.

The template owns every position, size,\nand type choice, which is what makes a deck look composed rather than assembled. Backgrounds and chrome — washes, corner fields, column rules, numeral chips — are\ngenerated per slide from the palette. Do not reach for pandoc: its slide output has one content box per slide and cannot express these layouts.\n\n`deckbuild` refuses to write a deck whose text collides, leaves the safe margin,\nor overflows. A non-zero exit is a content problem to fix, not an error to work around.\n\n## Step 1 — Pick a template\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild templates\n```\n\n| Template | The kind of deck it is for |\n| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `editorial` | Analysis and internal writing where the argument carries the deck: reviews, post-mortems, recommendations, memos. Serif, essayistic. |\n| `board` | Work that gets decided on: board papers, strategic assessments, equity research, diligence. Dense, numeric, rules instead of colour. |\n| `pitch` | Selling something: fundraising, launches, keynotes, proposals. Sparse, one claim per slide, very large stat numerals. |\n| `feature` | Narrative and brand work where pictures do the arguing: stories, campaigns, product tours. Display type over imagery. |\n| `dossier` | Profiles, bios, team context, and people briefs. Portrait-led, with facts immediately below the name and narrative underneath. |\n| `briefing` | Pre-meeting context, handoffs, blockers, and operating briefs. Answer-first, with ruled status rows and explicit next actions. |\n| `field-notes` | Scouting reports, observations, site visits, and informal profiles. Tactile paper, large type, and offset image treatments. |\n| `studio` | Project decks, portfolios, and creative reviews. Oversized type, multiple image roles, motifs, and changing silhouettes. |\n| `signal` | Provocations, launches, and high-energy keynotes. Oversized condensed type, blunt colour fields, and one soft halo. |\n| `organic` | Purpose, sustainability, place, and wellness. Curved fields, bright natural accents, and framed image windows. |\n| `atlas` | Travel, place, culture, and expedition work. Tracked capitals over 14pt body copy, alternating slate and paper grounds, and a recurring flight of marks. |\n| `bold` | Campaigns, manifestos, launches, and public proposals with a clear point of view. Poster type, hard crops, and alternating fields. |\n| `desk` | Numbers-forward reporting read on a screen: coverage notes, monthly reviews, diligence memos. Near-black ground, tiled cards, one electric accent. |\n| `guideline` | A standard someone has to follow: brand guidelines, design systems, editorial rules. Paper white, ruled pairs, and the system shown as itself. |\n\nPick by what the deck is _for_, not by subject. A revenue review is `editorial`; the same numbers going to a board is `board`; the same company raising money is\n`pitch`. Default to `editorial` when it is genuinely ambiguous, and say which you picked and why.\n\nEach template carries its own palette and typography, so a spec with no `theme` already looks composed.\n\nThe template also fixes two things about how the deck is written, because they follow from what it is for rather than being separate choices:\n\n| Template | Spine | The deck moves by | Titles |\n| ------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |\n| `board` `editorial` `briefing` | `pyramid` | Answer first, then the support that earns it | `action` |\n| `pitch` | `sparkline` | Alternating what is with what could be, ending on reward | `label` |\n| `feature` `dossier` `field-notes` `studio` `bold` | `thread` | One line followed — through time, place, or theme | `label` |\n\n`deckbuild outline` reports both, so there is nothing to remember.\n\n## Step 2 — Write the outline first\n\n**Write the whole deck as titles before writing a word of content.** One line per slide: layout and title, no real bodies, bullets, or images. Add only the parser stubs a layout requires (`\"items\":[{\"body\":\"TBD\"}]` or `\"image\":\"TBD.png\"`); `outline` ignores them.\nConsultants call this a ghost deck, and skipping it is the single largest source of a deck that reads as a pile of true statements rather than an argument.\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild outline deck.json\n```\n\nIt prints the deck as its titles alone and reports what it can count. Then apply\nthe test the printout exists for:\n\n> **Read only the titles, top to bottom. Do they carry the argument to the\n> recommendation, with no body copy at all?**\n\nIf a title can be deleted without the argument losing a step, that slide has no\njob. If two consecutive titles do not connect — no _therefore_, no _but_, no\n_which is why_ — a step is missing between them. If the last title is not what\nshould happen next, the deck stops rather than concludes.\n\nRevise the titles until the spine reads. Only then fill in bodies.\n\n**A `section` divider states its section's conclusion, not its subject.** This is\nwhere a spine most often dies. `\"Where Boeing wins and where it doesn't\"` is an\nagenda item; `\"Boeing wins widebody and loses narrowbody\"` is the same slide\ncarrying its share of the argument. In an `action` deck a title that opens on\n_what_, _who_, _where_, _why_, _how_ or _when_ is a question fragment and cannot\nbe a finding — `deckbuild outline` flags those, because that much is grammar\nrather than judgement. A `label` deck is free to use them: `\"What changed\"` is a\nfine label.\n\n## Step 3 — Write deck.json\n\nStart from a working spec rather than from memory:\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild example editorial > deck.json\n```\n\nThe shape:\n\n```json\n{\n \"title\": \"Q3 Business Review\",\n \"template\": \"editorial\",\n \"theme\": {\n \"ground\": \"#FBF8F1\",\n \"ink\": \"#0F1512\",\n \"accent\": \"#9A3412\"\n },\n \"brand\": { \"name\": \"Hark\", \"site\": \"hark.com\" },\n \"slides\": [{ \"layout\": \"title\", \"title\": \"Retention is the constraint on growth this quarter\" }]\n}\n```\n\nThree colors and one or two faces. A wider palette is how a deck starts looking\ngenerated. `muted` is derived from `ink` and `ground` unless you set it, and\n`inverse` is the text color used over a dark image or a filled section band.\n\nSeventy-six named palettes ship with deckbuild, each suited to several templates.\nTwenty-two have a dark ground, so a deck read on a screen is a choice rather than an\naccident of which template you picked:\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild palettes # all of them\ndeckbuild palettes board # the ones suited to a template\n```\n\n`deckbuild palettes <template>` is the full list; the table below is a starting\npoint for when the command is unavailable. Pick by the subject's mood; palette is\nthe visual choice that most distinguishes two decks built from one template, and a\ntemplate's first-listed palette is not its default so much as its most obvious.\n\n| Template | Paper grounds | Dark grounds | All |\n| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- | --- |\n| `editorial` | `parchment`, `ledger`, `sage`, `newsprint` | `nocturne`, `shale`, `galley` | 15 |\n| `board` | `ledger`, `institutional`, `graphite`, `forest` | `carbon`, `bluechip`, `meridian` | 14 |\n| `pitch` | `graphite`, `signal`, `ultraviolet`, `mint` | `carbon`, `ember`, `flare` | 10 |\n| `feature` | `grove`, `sand`, `tide`, `atlas` | `nocturne`, `petrol`, `ember` | 16 |\n| `dossier` | `parchment`, `ledger`, `sage`, `cobalt-paper` | `nocturne`, `library`, `petrol` | 15 |\n| `briefing` | `institutional`, `graphite`, `memo`, `minute` | `carbon`, `library`, `quorum` | 12 |\n| `field-notes` | `sage`, `cobalt-paper`, `grove`, `haar` | `ember`, `dusk`, `peat` | 15 |\n| `studio` | `parchment`, `cyanotype`, `sand`, `paper-ink` | `basalt`, `darkroom` | 11 |\n| `atlas` | `grove`, `sand`, `tide`, `atlas` | `dusk`, `basalt` | 8 |\n| `signal` | `ultraviolet`, `vermilion`, `hi-vis` | `ember`, `flare`, `riptide` | 7 |\n| `organic` | `sage`, `mint`, `canopy`, `quarry` | `peat`, `understory` | 10 |\n| `bold` | `cobalt-cream`, `vermilion-paper`, `acid-ink`, `violet-milk` | `riptide`, `nettle`, `velvet` | 11 |\n| `desk` | `graphite`, `pewter` | `carbon`, `bluechip`, `meridian` | 8 |\n| `guideline` | `ledger`, `newsprint`, `clay`, `bond` | `shale` | 10 |\n\nName one with `\"palette\": \"graphite\"` and leave `theme` out. Pick by the subject's mood, not by habit; palette is one of the visual choices that distinguishes decks built from the same template. Say which you chose.\n\nUse `theme` only to apply a brand colour on top: `\"palette\": \"signal\"` with\n`\"theme\": {\"accent\": \"#D4623A\"}` keeps the palette and replaces one value.\n\nSeventeen palettes declare a fifth `spot` colour: one rare signal for a mark that\nhas to interrupt rather than harmonise, used by the `atlas_field` treatment and\nby directional marks. The other fifty-nine leave it unset and those marks fall\nback to the accent. Do not add a `spot` to a palette that has none, since a spot every\npalette carries is not a spot.\n\n### Choose a treatment when the composition needs a different voice\n\nThe template fixes the content geometry; `treatment` fixes the recurring\nbackground and chrome. Omit it, or set `\"treatment\": \"auto\"`, for a stable\nautomatic choice. Name one when the visual direction matters:\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild treatments dossier\ndeckbuild treatments briefing\n```\n\n```json\n{ \"template\": \"dossier\", \"palette\": \"cobalt-paper\", \"treatment\": \"archive_spine\" }\n```\n\nTreatments are template-specific by design. `dossier` offers `archive_spine`,\n`folio_frame`, and `paper_wash`; `briefing` offers `memo_split`, `status_rail`,\nand `decision_bar`; `bold` offers `edge_band`, `base_bar`, and `corner_rules`.\nA treatment from another template is rejected instead of quietly making two\ntemplates converge.\n\nThe controllable visual axes are: `template` for structure, `typography` for a\ncurated font system, `treatment` for recurring composition, `palette` for color,\n`theme` for exact brand overrides, and image `placement` plus cadence for visual\nemphasis.\n\nFor `bold`, read [`references/bold.md`](references/bold.md) before writing. It\ndefines the pacing, image direction, title register, and cases where bold is the\nwrong choice.\n\n**Typography.** Prefer a named `typography` system over manual font names. Run\n`deckbuild typography`, then read [`references/typography.md`](references/typography.md).\nIt defines the sans/serif/display roles, curated pairings, and misuse warnings.\nEvery named system uses bundled OFL faces that PowerPoint embeds. Exact\n`theme.heading` or `theme.body` values remain available for a real brand font;\nthey override the preset and are checked against the same role rules.\n\n### Layouts — choose by the shape of the content\n\nDecide what a slide has to do, then take the layout that does it. Reaching for\n`bullets` every time is what makes a deck look generated; a deck that varies\nbecause its content varies is the thing to aim for. Every layout works in every\ntemplate.\n\n| `layout` | Reach for it when | Needs |\n| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |\n| `title` | Opening. The title states the thesis, not the topic. | `title` |\n| `contents` | The deck is long enough that the audience wants a map. Six items at most. | `items` |\n| `section` | The argument turns. One every four to six slides, numbered in `eyebrow`. | `title` |\n| `statement` | One sentence is the whole point of the slide and deserves the room. | `title` |\n| `bullets` | Genuinely a list of peers with nothing to compare across. Rarer than you think. | `title`, `bullets` |\n| `numbered` | Order or sequence matters: steps, ranked options, things tried in turn. | `title`, `items` |\n| `columns` | Two or three things held against each other: before/after, us/them, risk/reward. | `title`, `items` |\n| `metrics` | Two to four numbers carry the point. One number alone is a `statement`. | `items[].value` |\n| `table` | Two dimensions — things down the side, attributes across the top. | `columns`, `rows` |\n| `quote` | Someone else's words are better evidence than your summary. | `quote` |\n| `image` | A picture argues better than a sentence. Never decoration. | `title`, `image` |\n| `triptych` | A full-height image separates observations from a short narrative. | `title`, `image`, `items` |\n| `gallery` | Two to four images are peers, or a stacked pair carries the page. | `items[].image` |\n| `team` | Portraits, names, and roles should read as one visual roster. | `items[].image` |\n| `timeline` | Milestones need a visible temporal line rather than numbered prose. | `items` |\n| `chart` | A rendered chart is evidence beside editable interpretation. | `title`, `image` |\n| `bars` | A set of magnitudes should be compared by length rather than read as numerals. | `title`, `items[].amount` |\n| `closing` | The ask: a decision, an owner, a date. | `title` |\n\nFour further recipes are compositions taken from professionally produced decks.\nRead [`references/compositions.md`](references/compositions.md) before using one.\n\n| `layout` | Reach for it when | Needs |\n| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |\n| `editorial-collage` | Two or three frames argue with each other rather than illustrating one claim. | `title`, `items[].image` |\n| `portrait-strip` | Two or three tall crops are peers and each needs its own caption. | `title`, `items[].image` |\n| `panorama-sidebar` | One wide frame carries the scale and a rail explains it. | `title`, `image`, `items` |\n| `hero-proof` | One claim over a darkened image, with numbered proof beneath it. | `title`, `image`, `items` |\n\nTwo more document a design system rather than argue a case, and are what\n`guideline` exists for.\n\n| `layout` | Reach for it when | Needs |\n| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |\n| `swatches` | The palette is the content: each colour named, described, and printed. | `title`, `items[].value` |\n| `specimen` | The typography is the content, set in the deck's own faces at its own sizes. | `title` |\n\nReading the same content three ways, so the choice is deliberate:\n\n- \"June 61%, July 48%, August 46%\" across three cohorts and three days is a\n `table` — two dimensions.\n- \"Day-7 retention 61% → 48%, alongside NRR and churn\" is `metrics` — several\n numbers, each with its comparison in the item's `body`.\n- \"Retention is the constraint\" is a `statement`, with the evidence on the slide\n after it.\n\nOptional fields: `subtitle` and `eyebrow` on a `title`; `eyebrow` as the section\nnumber; `body` as a lead line under a `section`, `statement`, or `closing`;\n`items` as a fact row on `title` and `closing`; `attribution` on a `quote`;\n`placement` on an `image`. Every slide takes `notes`.\n\n`items` entries are `{heading, body, value, image, image_prompt, amount}`, or a bare string meaning `body`.\n`placement` is `left`, `right` (half-bleed column, text alongside), `full`, or\n`bleed` (behind the text, which is darkened for contrast).\n\nOn a `full` or `bleed` image, `scrim` decides how the copy is made readable.\n`full`, the default, darkens the whole canvas and is right when the claim is the\nsubject. `card` lays a near-solid panel in the ground colour under the copy alone\nand leaves the rest of the photograph untouched, which is what a brand page does.\nThe five templates that compose their own full-bleed image — `bold`, `dossier`,\n`field-notes`, `organic`, `signal` — take `full` only, and asking for a card there\nis refused rather than dropped.\n\n`bars` takes an `amount` on every item: a non-negative number in whatever unit\nthe slide is about, which sets each bar's length against the largest in the set.\nPut the formatted figure in `value` and the label in `heading`, and the numerals\nstay editable text rather than becoming part of a picture.\n\n`swatches` takes a colour in each item's `value`, with `heading` as its name and\n`body` as the rule for using it. The hex is printed inside the chip.\n\nAny slide may also carry `cutout` (a transparent foreground figure, on `studio`,\n`bold`, and `feature`), `motif` (`studio` only), and `directional_mark`. Their\nanchors and knobs are in\n[`references/compositions.md`](references/compositions.md). A knob set without\nthe asset it configures is rejected rather than ignored.\n\nIn `briefing`, `numbered` becomes a ruled status or action sequence: put the\nshort marker, owner, or date in `heading` and the update in `body`. Its `title`\nand `closing` item rows are the place for decision, owner, date, and status.\n\n### Vary the deck\n\nA deck where every slide is the same shape is a worse deck, whatever the content.\nTwo rules that fall out of that:\n\n- **No layout three times in a row.** If three consecutive slides want `columns`,\n one of them is really a `table` or a `statement`.\n- **A `section` earns its place** by changing the subject, not by punctuating a\n list.\n\n### Facts\n\nSearch before writing any number, price, date, or name you would otherwise be\nrecalling. A deck of plausible-looking figures nobody checked is worse than one\nwith fewer figures, because it will be presented as if it were true.\n\nPut the source in the slide's `notes` — where the number came from and as of\nwhen. A board asking \"says who?\" is the normal case, not the awkward one.\n\nWhere a figure cannot be verified, say so on the slide rather than dropping it\nsilently: \"internal estimate\" and \"as reported, Q2\" are both fine; an unsourced\nnumber that looks sourced is not.\n\n## Step 4 — Content discipline\n\nThis is what separates a deck someone presents from a wall of text with a title.\nApply it while writing the spec, not as a cleanup pass.\n\n**Titles come in two registers and a deck commits to one.** The template picks\nit; writing in between is what produces a claim with the substance squeezed out.\n\nAn **action** title _is_ the finding, stated in full — 6 to 16 words, 4 to 10 for\na divider:\n\n> `\"Cash is still burned turning the backlog into deliveries\"`\n> `\"Consensus has already priced in most of the recovery\"`\n\nNot `\"Cash flow\"`, which says nothing, and not `\"The moat is real and\nstructural\"`, which asserts something without saying what it is. Published\nconsulting headlines run this long for a reason: the qualifier is the finding.\n\nA **label** title names the moment and lets the slide argue — 1 to 5 words, 1 to\n4 for a divider:\n\n> `\"The problem\"` `\"What changed\"` `\"Kurama in the rain\"`\n\nHere the picture or the single number carries the weight, and a full sentence\nacross the top fights it.\n\n**No commas in a title.** A comma is where a second thought gets appended to the\nfirst, and it leaves two half-claims where one whole one would land harder:\n`\"Right on Mathilda, no commute at all\"` is really `\"The commute is a five-minute\nwalk\"`. Rewrite until the point survives as one clause — if it will not, the\ntitle is carrying two ideas and the second one belongs on its own slide, or in\nthe body. Only a `quote` keeps its commas, being someone else's words.\n\nThe same goes for a semicolon or a dash joining two independent clauses: a\nsentence wearing a heading's clothes. Headings take no full stop; a `statement`\nslide is the exception, because it _is_ a sentence.\n\nTitle budgets `deckbuild outline` reports:\n\n| Register | Slide title | Section divider |\n| -------- | ----------- | --------------- |\n| `action` | 6–16 words | 4–10 words |\n| `label` | 1–5 words | 1–4 words |\n\nAnd for the copy underneath: a bullet is at most 14 words, an item body or a\nlead line at most 24. Past that it is prose, and prose belongs in `notes`.\n\n**One idea per slide.** Two ideas means two slides. Slides are free.\n\n**Numbers get context.** `NRR fell to 96%` invites \"from what, against what\nplan?\". Give the comparison in the same line: `NRR 112% → 96%, plan 105%`. A\ncount without a denominator is not evidence.\n\n**Use `metrics` for headline numbers and `table` for two dimensions.** A bulleted\nlist of \"June: 61%, July: 48%\" is a table someone forgot to draw.\n\n**Prose belongs in `notes`.** If a slide needs a paragraph to make sense, the\nparagraph is a speaker note and the slide keeps the assertion. Write notes for\nevery slide that makes a claim — they cost the reader nothing and let someone\nelse present the deck.\n\n**A `section` every four to six content slides.** It gives the audience a place\nto breathe and the presenter a place to check the room. A deck under eight\nslides may skip dividers when its arc is already obvious; do not spend one-sixth\nof a six-slide briefing announcing that it has reached the middle.\n\n**End on the ask.** The `closing` slide is what should happen next: a decision,\nan owner, a date. Not \"Thank you\", not \"Questions?\".\n\nWhen the user hands over source material, read it first, decide the argument,\nthen write slides that make that argument. Do not walk the source top to bottom\nturning each section into a slide.\n\n## Step 5 — Images\n\n`generate_image` writes a `.png` into the working directory and returns its path.\nReference it by filename in the spec:\n\n```json\n{\n \"layout\": \"image\",\n \"title\": \"Sign-in is where automation dies\",\n \"body\": \"Every useful task sits behind a login.\",\n \"image\": \"hero.png\",\n \"placement\": \"right\"\n}\n```\n\n**Ask the deck what shape each region is; do not guess.** Write the spec with\nevery `image` and `image_prompt` filled in first, then:\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild images deck.json # add --json for the same plan machine-readable\n```\n\nIt lists every picture the layouts place, the orientation and pixel size of the\nregion each one fills, and the prompt already recorded for it:\n\n```\nMAKE hero.png landscape 1920x1080 slide 2\n A harbour at first light, documentary photograph, muted\nMAKE frame-1.png portrait 904x1920 slide 6\n A weathered lighthouse tower against low cloud\n```\n\nGenerate exactly that list at those sizes, then build. deckbuild crops to fill\nwithout distorting, so an image the wrong shape loses the difference off its\nsides, taken from the centre where the subject usually is. The regions are not\nguessable: a `portrait-strip` frame is 0.47:1, far narrower than the 2:3 a\ngenerator returns by default, and a `panorama-sidebar` frame is wider than any\npreset.\n\nA row marked `(uncropped: keep the subject whole)` is a cutout — placed whole\nrather than filled to its box, so its own framing is what shows.\n\nPrompt for photographic, uncluttered images with room for text — a subject to one\nside, or an even texture. A busy image under a title fights it. Record what you\nasked for in `image_prompt` so the choice is legible later.\n\n**How many is a property of the template, not a matter of taste.** Some\ntemplates argue with pictures and look unfinished without them; others do the\nwork with rules and numbers and look padded with them. Never reuse the same\nimage on two slides.\n\n| Template | Imagery |\n| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\n| `feature`, `atlas`, `studio` | Image-led. Most slides carry one; a run of three type-only slides means the deck is under-illustrated. |\n| `bold`, `field-notes`, `organic` | One decisive anchor about every third slide, alternating with type-led pages. |\n| `pitch`, `signal`, `desk`, `dossier` | One or two anchors in the whole deck. The numerals and fields carry the rest. |\n| `editorial`, `board`, `briefing`, `guideline` | Only where the picture is evidence. These decks are complete with none. |\n\nReach that count by using the layouts that place several frames at once —\n`gallery`, `triptych`, `portrait-strip`, `editorial-collage` — rather than by\nrepeating single `image` slides.\n\n- `dossier`: prefer one verified portrait or supplied photo. Never generate a\n likeness of a real colleague; use a generated portrait only for a fictional\n example, and use an object, place, or abstract cutout when no real photo exists.\n- `briefing`: add an image only when it is evidence or meeting context. Its rules,\n owner fields, dates, and status rows already do the visual work.\n- `field-notes`: bias toward one or two isolated objects, cutouts, or candid\n photographs with deliberate negative space. A transparent or paper-coloured\n background makes the offset frame feel intentional.\n- `feature`: images carry the thread; vary portraits, wide scenes, and details.\n- `bold`: use one decisive documentary or rendered anchor about every three\n slides; alternate it with quiet type-led pages instead of decorating every page.\n\nGenerated visuals can also be diagrammatic or rendered as SVG when a real image\nwould imply false evidence. Do not generate fake screenshots, logos, documents,\nor photographs of real events. Prompt the subject's side and crop explicitly,\nand keep `image_prompt` on every slide that names an image.\n\nA missing file is a warning, not a failure: the deck still builds with the\nregion reserved, so a generation that fails does not block delivery. Run\n`deckbuild images deck.json` again at the end — anything still marked `MAKE` is\na hole in the finished deck.\n\nFor a supplied reference `.pptx`, follow\n[`references/reference-audit.md`](references/reference-audit.md): measure every\nslide, map recurring patterns to semantic layouts, reconstruct, then compare.\n\n## Step 6 — Build\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild build deck.json\n```\n\nWrites `deck.pptx` and `deck.html`. `build` writes both by default; keep it that way: the preview is how\nthe deck gets looked at before anyone opens PowerPoint.\n\nWhen it refuses, it names the slide, the element, and the fix:\n\n```\nslide 4: text_outside_safe — slide4.body at 0.72,5.10 5.80×2.31 leaves the safe\n area (0.72,0.72 11.89×6.06) — runs 0.55 in past the bottom; cut about 34 words\n```\n\n| Error | What it means |\n| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `text_outside_safe` | Too much copy for the slide. Cut it, or split into two slides. |\n| `text_overlap` | Two text blocks collide. Almost always too many `items`. |\n| `occluded_text` | Something is painted over text. A template bug — report it. |\n| `text_overflow` | A fixed box, usually a table cell, holds more than it can show. |\n| `low_contrast` | Text too close in tone to what is behind it. |\n| `furniture_wraps` | A brand or page mark ran to a second line. A template bug. |\n| `image_offcanvas` | An image region falls outside the slide. A template bug. |\n\nA failure prefixed `[keynote]`, `[google-slides]` or `[powerpoint]` happens only\nin that application: the deck is sound at authoring size and breaks under that\none's transform. Fix it the same way — the geometry has to survive all three.\n\nCut words rather than fighting the layout. The word count is measured from the\nline fitting, not guessed.\n\nTo look at a refusal instead of fixing it blind:\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild build deck.json --debug-boxes --force \\\n --pptx deck.debug.pptx --html deck.debug.html\n```\n\nThat outlines every element by kind and draws the collision in red. Use it to\nunderstand a failure; never ship the `--force` output.\n\n## Step 7 — Verify\n\n```bash\ndeckbuild check deck.json # geometry, consumers, fonts, style, storyline\ndeckbuild outline deck.json # the spine, one last time\n```\n\n`check` exits 0 with `\"ok\": true` when the deck is sound. Then run the outline\nonce more and read the spine as a reader would — the bodies have changed since\nStep 2, and a title that drifted away from the slide beneath it is the usual\nresult. If the titles no longer carry the argument on their own, the deck is not\nfinished, and the fix is the titles rather than the bullets.\n\n## Step 8 — Deliver\n\nAsk where it should land only when the user has not implied it. \"Put it in my\nDrive\" and \"send it to Priya\" are answers; \"make me a deck\" is not, and the file\nis a fine default.\n\n**Google Drive, as a native Slides deck.** A `.pptx` uploaded with the Slides\nMIME type is converted on the way in, so the user gets a real Google Slides\npresentation. This needs only the Drive scope the `google` connector already\nholds, and the gateway injects the header for `googleapis.com`.\n\n```bash\ncurl -s -X POST \\\n 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=%5BREDACTED%5D&fields=%5BREDACTED%5D' \\\n -F \"metadata={\\\"name\\\":\\\"Q3 Revenue Review\\\",\\\"mimeType\\\":\\\"application/vnd.google-apps.presentation\\\"};type=application/json\" \\\n -F \"file=@deck.pptx;type=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation\"\n```\n\nDrop `mimeType` to leave it an uploaded `.pptx`. Add `\"parents\":[\"FOLDER_ID\"]` to\nplace it. Hand the user the `webViewLink`, never a raw id.\n\n**OneDrive or SharePoint.** `.pptx` is native, no conversion. Load\n`microsoft-files` for the conventions.\n\n```bash\ncurl -s -X PUT \\\n 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/Decks/Q3 Review.pptx:/content' \\\n -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \\\n --data-binary @deck.pptx\n```\n\nOver 4 MB needs a Graph upload session — a deck with several photographs will\ncross that. Say so rather than sending a truncated file.\n\n**Keynote** imports `.pptx` directly. Hand over the file.\n\n**Email or chat** — attach `deck.pptx`. Load the relevant send skill.\n\nDo not upload anywhere the user did not ask for. A deck in the wrong Drive is a\ndeck they have to go delete.\n\n## Scope\n\nThis skill owns deck files and their delivery. When the user wants an interactive\nslideshow living inside the conversation as a web artifact rather than a file they\ncan edit, `build-slideshow` builds that instead.\n\nFollow these instructions as your guide.

For the quarter, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were both 75.0%. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $2.46 and $2.22, respectively.\n\n\n\n“AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “And demand is accelerating. This time last year, one lab alone was driving the buildout; today, we have a golden age of new AI labs and startups, multiple frontier labs scaling in parallel, a thriving open-model ecosystem and physical AI coming online — with strong momentum across the U.S. and around the world. The AI infrastructure buildout is at full steam. Vera Rubin, now in full production, was built to power exactly this moment.”\n\n\n\nDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA returned approximately $26.0 billion to shareholders in the form of shares repurchased and cash dividends. As of the end of the second quarter, the company had approximately $99.0 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization.\n\n\n\nNVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on October 1, 2026, to all shareholders of record on September 10, 2026.\n\n\n\n**Q2 Fiscal 2027 Summary**\n\n\n\n | **GAAP** |\n | *($ in millions, except earnings per share)* | **Q2 FY27** | **Q1 FY27** | **Q2 FY26** | **Q/Q** | **Y/Y** |\n | Revenue | $96,221 | $81,615 | $46,743 | 18 % | 106 % |\n | Gross margin | 75.0 % | 74.9 % | 72.4 % | 0.1 pts | 2.6 pts |\n | Operating expenses | $8,408 | $7,621 | $5,413 | 10 % | 55 % |\n | Operating income | $63,734 | $53,536 | $28,440 | 19 % | 124 % |\n | Net income | $59,688 | $58,321 | $26,422 | 2 % | 126 % |\n | Diluted earnings per share | $2.46 | $2.39 | $1.08 | 3 % | 128 % |\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n | **Non-GAAP** |\n | *($ in millions, except earnings per share)* | **Q2 FY27** | **Q1 FY27** | **Q2 FY26** | **Q/Q** | **Y/Y** |\n | Revenue | $96,221 | $81,615 | $46,743 | 18 % | 106 % |\n | Gross margin | 75.0 % | 75.0 % | 72.5 % | -- | 2.5 pts |\n | Operating expenses | $8,232 | $7,449 | $5,361 | 11 % | 54 % |\n | Operating income | $63,956 | $53,783 | $28,541 | 19 % | 124 % |\n | Net income | $53,954 | $45,548 | $24,763 | 18 % | 118 % |\n | Diluted earnings per share | $2.22 | $1.87 | $1.01 | 19 % | 120 % |\n |   |   |   |   |   |   |\n\n\n\n\n**Outlook**\n\n\n\nNVIDIA’s outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 is as follows:\n\n\n - Revenue is expected to be $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%.

A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA’s investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA’s conference call to discuss its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2027.\n\n\n\n**Non-GAAP Measures**\n\n\n\nTo supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. For NVIDIA’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains/losses from equity securities, net, certain other income and expense, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA’s non-GAAP financial measures no longer exclude stock-based compensation expense. The historical non-GAAP financial information presented has been updated to include stock-based compensation expense. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases related to property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the users’ overall understanding of the company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.\n\n\n\n | **NVIDIA CORPORATION** |\n | **CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME** |\n | (In

Behavior

Hark ran a no-op shell command (`echo check gmail`) immediately before performing the actual Gmail API query. The command returned only its own text and added a needless tool round-trip without discovering account information or otherwise advancing the request.

If so, ask the user if you should reorder the same item. Otherwise, type the item description into the search bar on the home page.\n- Compare options using metrics such as best price, reliable seller / brand, rating, arrival date, and return window.\n- In parallel, run another web_search for best priced option on Google.\n- Present the user with at least three options, including the best non-Amazon option if available, bestseller, best average customer rating, best price, and fastest delivery. Do not present any options that are not available (e.g., Prime Day deals if it is not Prime Day). Make sure to include links in the summary.\n- If the item is one that is frequently reordered by the user and Subscribe & Save is an option, ask if the user would like to set up a recurring order with Subscribe & Save.\n- Note any discounts or renewed alternatives, if available.\n- Avoid recommending items with bad reviews or frequently returned items unless there are no alternatives.\n- Flag unclipped coupons, auto-renewals, add-on items that cannot be shipped alone, and products with arrival dates past the deadline.\n- If there is a minimum order size, suggest adding other items that the user may need to meet the free delivery minimum.\n- Click on price history and check for any significant price changes over the last 30 days. If so, let the user know.\n\n## Placing the order\n\n- Make sure to click any coupons before adding to cart.\n- If there are any items already in cart, ask the user if they would like to place the order with the other items. Note any price changes or changes in item availability for other items.\n- Confirm delivery speed, such as same-day, standard, or scheduled / no-rush date, and provide the user with all cost details associated with each option.\n- Confirm whether the item should be shipped in manufacturer's container or in Amazon packaging.\n- Verify total and ask user if they would like to apply any promos, gift cards, points or vouchers, or credit card points.\n- Never place an order without explicitly receiving approval from the user. Make sure to also confirm the correct payment method before submitting the order.\n- Make sure all items requested in session are added to cart before placing the order.\n\n## After placing the order\n\n- Report the order confirmation number, item, total, delivery estimate, and return window.\n- Tell the user if there is a window to cancel before the order ships.\n- Ask the user if they would like tracking updates. If they respond affirmatively, set up a scheduled task that provides regular updates until the item has been delivered.\n\n## If the user stops responding\n\n- Only if the user stops responding for 15 minutes, create a scheduled task to follow up in 45 minutes to double check if they would like to continue placing the order.

Behavior

Hark searched memory for the user's current New York Times subscription status even though memory is not an authoritative account or login registry. The memory result contained unrelated recollections and could not establish current subscription or secure-login state. The call was therefore an avoidable, non-material step, although Hark did not turn it into a misleading user-visible claim.

The exhibition would have opened in early May 2027, coinciding with the annual Met Gala, the benefit soirée for the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, which typically draws hundreds of celebrities and raises tens of millions of dollars for the institution. It was due to remain on view in the new Condé Nast Galleries just off the Met’s Great Hall until January 2028. According to the exhibition announcement, the Costume Institute has the largest collection of Galliano's work in the world, spanning 1984 to 2024.\n\nHowever, news of the exhibition quickly sparked outrage due to Galliano’s history of antisemitic statements. In 2011, a French tribunal [convicted](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-galliano-found-guilty-in-anti-semitism-case/) him of an antisemitic hate crime after he made horrendous comments about Jews and Asians to a couple dining at a restaurant near his home in Paris. In footage of a [separate incident](https://youtu.be/HUKGqhlRXH0?si=%5BREDACTED%5D) that emerged around the time of his arrest, Galliano tells diners at the same restaurant “I love Hitler”, that their parents would have been “gassed” and that “people like you would be dead today”.\n\nFollowing the emergence of that video, Galliano was fired from his role as the creative director of Dior, a role he had held since 1997. After his conviction, he went into rehab and attended meetings about Judaism with rabbis and a former leader of the Anti-Defamation League. He made a remarkable fashion-world comeback in 2014, when he was named creative director of Maison Margiela, a post he held until 2024. Champions of his work over the years have included Anna Wintour, the former editor-in-chief of *Vogue*, a trustee of the Met and the chair of the Met Gala since 1999, and Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge of the Met’s Costume Institute and lead organiser of the planned exhibition, *John Galliano: Horizons*.\n\n“I do not want the debate surrounding me to place the Met in a difficult position or to distract from the remarkable work of the Costume Institute. I also recognise and respect that an exhibition honouring my work would be painful for some,” Galliano said in a statement on Monday (31 August). “I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it. I understand that meaningful atonement is not achieved through an exhibition, institutional recognition or a single public gesture. It is a continuing responsibility, demonstrated through listening, learning and one’s conduct over time.”\n\nWintour added: “John's decision that the exhibition devoted to his work should not take place at this time is very courageous and a measure of the man he is. I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the museum have my full support.”\n\nAccording to [*The New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/style/john-galliano-met-gala-canceled.html), the decision to cancel the exhibition came just hours before planned meetings on Monday of select members of the museum’s board and the full Met leadership and board of trustees to discuss the exhibition’s future and matters related to the Costume Institute. Ahead of those meetings, a growing chorus of critics had expressed concern privately or come out publicly against the exhibition.\n\nOn 28 August, [*The New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/style/galliano-met-gala-critics.html) reported that Julie Menin, the speaker of the New York City Council, had written a letter to Bolton, Hollein and Wintour describing the decision to honour Galliano as “a serious mistake”. Arne Glimcher, the founder of Pace Gallery, wrote to Hollein and David Breslin, a curator of Modern and contemporary art at the Met, to articulate his concerns about the exhibition. “I don’t think you have considered the cost of this action and its reverberations to come,” he wrote in an email, according to the *Times*. He also implied that he and his wife might change their plans to bequest works from their personal collection to the Met in light of the exhibition.\n\nIn addition to anchoring the fashion and media spectacle that is the [Met Gala](/keywords/met-gala), the Costume Institute’s exhibitions are often among the most popular at the Met in any given year. The current Costume Institute show, [*Costume Art*](/2026/05/11/metropolitan-museum-costume-institute-exhibition-review-costume-art-new-galleries) (until 10 January 2027), launched in May with a gala whose dress code and theme was “[fashion is art](/2026/05/05/artist-met-gala-metropolitan-museum-costume-institute-gala)”.
