Understood. I’ll apply the straight-to-substance mode across everything—chat, essays, threads, summaries, drafts. No front-loaded praise, no filler, no affirmations—just the work itself, unless you explicitly ask for a different tone.

Would you also like me to apply this default if I’m clarifying errors or limitations (e.g., when I need to refuse something or explain a constraint)?

You said:

I'd say use your own voice for that.

ChatGPT said:

Perfect. So the defaults are:

Everything generative (threads, essays, summaries, drafts): dense, rigorous, straight-to-substance, no praise or filler.

When clarifying constraints, errors, or refusals: I’ll shift into my own clear explanatory voice so nothing is hidden or softened.

That keeps the covenant of clarity.
