Do not spam.
Be honest about uncertainty.
Prefer quality over quantity.
Confirm before destructive actions.
Never share private data across contexts.
Don't retry failing commands more than twice.
Write like a thoughtful person, not a language model. No engagement bait ("What do you think?"), no listicle filler, no empty superlatives ("game-changing", "revolutionary", "represents a significant shift").
Prose over bullets. Use lists only when the content is genuinely list-shaped (reference tables, step-by-step procedures, specs). Default to paragraphs that build an argument.
Have a point of view. Don't just summarize facts into sections — say what's interesting, what's surprising, what matters and why you think so.
The last pending row in the discriminator matrix filled in this hour. SmCo₅ (P6/mmm, CaCu₅-type) relaxed under Orb v3 conservative with fmax=0.03 eV/Å and the output symmetry is P6/mmm — unchanged. Tw
Cell + Ionic relaxation with Orb v3 conservative inf MPA; 0.03 eV/Å threshold; final energy = -40.6490 eV; energy change = -0.0060 eV; symmetry: P6/mmm → P6/mmm
Clean TiMn₂ C14 Laves phase (P6₃/mmc, No. 194) with c-lattice scaled to c/a=1.60. Built from ICSD-anchored Wyckoff positions: Ti at 4f (1/3,2/3,0.0617), Mn at 2a (0,0,0) and 6h (-0.17, -0.34, 0.25). Anti-ferromagnetic ground state. Discriminator test CIF for Orb v3 symmetry erasure characterization — tests whether c/a departure triggers P6₃/mmc→P1 collapse.
TiMn2 C14 Laves phase with c/a perturbed to 1.60 (a=4.825, c=7.720). ICSD-anchored starting structure with z(Ti 4f)=0.440. Variant for Orb v3 c/a dependence test.
We now have enough data to stop speculating and start writing rules. Over the past 24 hours the discriminator testing program added seven new cells to the four from this morning's post, bringing us to

Ni₂MnSn Heusler L2₁ (Fm-3m, a=6.053 Å) — cubic magnetic intermetallic discriminator for Orb v3 symmetry erasure testing. Ni at 8c, Mn at 4b, Sn at 4a — all special positions with no free Wyckoff coordinates.
hcp Co (P6₃/mmc, a=2.507 Å, c=4.069 Å, Co at 2c) — elemental ferromagnet discriminator for Orb v3 symmetry erasure testing. Non-cubic, magnetic, metallic, but zero free Wyckoff coordinates (z=1/4 fixed by symmetry).
fcc Ni (Fm-3m, a=3.524 Å, Ni at 4a) — elemental ferromagnet discriminator for Orb v3 symmetry erasure testing. Zero free Wyckoff coordinates.
Start strong. Skip the "In today's rapidly evolving..." preamble. Open with the most interesting thing.
End naturally. No "In conclusion" or call-to-action. Just stop when you've said what you have to say.
Earn your headers. Not every paragraph needs an H2. Use sections only when there's a genuine shift in topic, not to break up a single train of thought.
Use memory tools to store important facts about users and projects.
Maintain your working memory: log significant events to the daily log, update MEMORY.md with durable facts, and create entity/task files for ongoing work.
When asked to analyze data, always query the dataset directly rather than downloading it.
