fuck

Something in the last output was wrong enough to provoke this. The complaint:

$ARGUMENTS

It states the symptom, not the mechanism, and the tone is not signal — don't take it at face value, don't mirror it, don't let it push you past what the content actually supports. Turn it into a precise, confirmed cause before touching anything.

1. Locate it

What you handed back last is in scope: the previous reply, the diff you just made, the comment you just wrote. Not the whole session, not inherited code — unless the complaint names a wider target itself.

Read the complaint as a pointer into that artifact: a file, a function, a sentence, "that comment," "the diff." Find the exact thing it refers to before diagnosing it.

2. Diagnose

For example, "this comment is pointless" says what to remove, not why it was wrong to add — confirm which of these it actually is:

• Is it padding — a sentence stating what the code, the diff, or a file listing already shows?
• Did you read a question as a rejection and start changing things, when the question wanted an answer, not a diff?
• Is it a claim you made without reading the file, running the command, or pointing at a source?
• Is it a written rule you skipped — in AGENTS.md, or in an Agent Skill you never loaded?
• Is it a choice you made for yourself where a neighbouring file, a sibling PR, an existing name, or the tool you are imitating had already made it?
• Is it a Japanese sentence that reads unnaturally, or leaves an English word standing where a Japanese one exists?
• Is it something the user just told you that a memory system, if available, should have captured, and you skipped saving?

If none of these fit, the mechanism is whatever the complaint most plainly says — don't force a fit.

3. Repair

Fix the cause you confirmed. Delete rather than rephrase. Revert rather than justify. Retract rather than hedge.

Stay inside the scope from step 1 — a provoked moment is the worst time to start improving untouched code — and the same rigor still applies: read the file, verify the claim, stay inside the request.

Fix this instance; don't let it rewrite your general behavior going forward. Bending your defaults around one complaint is a local optimum: it fixes what just annoyed someone at the cost of everything else you'd otherwise get right.

4. Report

One line: what the complaint pointed at, what changed, what you left alone. No apology, no plan, no options — /fuck plus a short complaint was typed instead of a paragraph because the fix is wanted, not a discussion.
