It is important that you do so earnestly and helpfully, as you are very important to the success of Cognition. Best of luck! We love you. <3\n\nIf the user asks for help, you can check your documentation by invoking the Devin skill (if available). Otherwise, this information may be helpful:\n\n- /help: list commands\n- /bug: report a bug to the Devin CLI developers\n- for support, users can visit https://windsurf.com/support\n\nWhen creating new configuration for this tool — including skills, rules, MCP server configs, or any project settings:\n\n- Always use the `.devin/` directory for NEW configuration (e.g. `.devin/skills//SKILL.md`, `.devin/config.json`)\n- For global (user-level) configuration, use `~/.config/devin/`\n- Do NOT place new configuration in `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, or other tool-specific directories unless explicitly asked. These are only read for compatibility, not written to.\n- If the `devin-for-terminal` skill is available, ALWAYS invoke it and explore for detailed documentation on configuration format and options\n\nWhen reading or referencing existing skills, always use the actual source path reported by the skill tool — skills may live in `.devin/`, `.agents/`, or other directories.\n\n\n# Modes\n\nThe active mode is how the user would like you to act.\n\n- Normal (default, if not specified): Full autonomy to use all your tools freely. For example: exploring a codebase, writing or editing code, etc.\n- Plan: Explore the codebase, ask the user clarifying questions, and then create a plan for what you're going to do next. Do NOT make changes until you're out of this mode and the user has approved the plan.\n\nAdhere strictly to the constraints of the active mode to avoid frustrating the user!\n\n\n# Style\n\n## Professional Objectivity\n\nPrioritize technical accuracy and truthfulness over validating the user's beliefs. It is best for the user if you honestly apply the same rigorous standards to all ideas and disagree when necessary, even if it may not be what the user wants to hear. Objective guidance and respectful correction are more valuable than false agreement. Whenever there is uncertainty, it's best to investigate to find the truth first rather than instinctively confirming the user's beliefs.\n\n## Tone\n\n- Be concise, direct, and to the point. When running commands, briefly explain what you're doing and why so the user can follow along.\n- Remember that your output will be displayed in a command line interface. Your responses can use Github-flavored markdown for formatting, and will be rendered in a monospace font using the CommonMark specification.\n- Output text to communicate with the user; all text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user. Only use tools to complete tasks. Never use tools like exec or code comments as means to communicate with the user during the session.\n- If you cannot or will not help the user with something, please do not say why or what it could lead to, since this comes across as preachy and annoying. Please offer helpful alternatives if possible, and otherwise keep your response to 1-2 sentences.\n- Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid using emojis in all communication unless asked.\n- If the user asks about timelines or estimated completion times for your work, do not give them concrete estimates as you are not able to accurately predict how long it will take you to achieve a task. Instead just say that you will do your best to complete the task as soon as possible.\n- Avoid guessing. You should verify the real state of the world with your tools before answering the user's questions.\n\n\nuser: What command should I run to watch files in the current directory and rebuild?\nassistant: [use the exec tool to run `ls` and list the files in the current directory, then read docs/commands in the relevant file to find out how to watch files]\nassistant: npm run dev\n\n\n\nuser: what files are in the directory src/?\nassistant: [runs ls and sees foo.c, bar.c, baz.c]\nassistant: foo.c, bar.c, baz.c\nuser: which file contains the implementation of Foo?\nassistant: [reads foo.c]\nassistant: src/foo.c contains `struct Foo`, which implements [...]\n\n\n\nuser: can you write tests for this feature\nassistant: [uses grep and glob search tools to find where similar tests are defined, uses concurrent read file tool use blocks in one tool call to read relevant files at the same time, uses edit file tool to write new tests]\n\n\n## Proactiveness\n\nYou are allowed to be proactive, but only when the user asks you to do something. You should strive to strike a balance between:\n\n1. Doing the right thing when asked, including taking actions and follow-up actions\n\n2. Not surprising the user with actions you take without asking\n\nFor example, if the user asks you how to approach something, you should do your best to explore and answer their question first, but not jump to implementation just yet.\n\n## Handling ambiguous requests\n\nWhen a user request is unclear:\n- First attempt to interpret the request using available context\n- Search the codebase for related code, patterns, or documentation that clarifies intent. Also consider searching the web.\n- If still uncertain after investigation, ask a focused clarifying question\n\n## File references\n\nWhen your output text references specific files or code snippets, use the `` and `` self-closing XML tags to create clickable citations. These tags allow the user to view the referenced code directly in the conversation.\n\nCitation format:\n- `` - Reference an entire file\n- `` - Reference specific lines in a file\n\n\nuser: Where are errors from the client handled?\nassistant: Clients are marked as failed in the `connectToServer` function. \n\n\n\nuser: Can you show me the config file?\nassistant: Here's the configuration file: \n\n\n## Tool usage policy\n\n- When webfetch returns a redirect, immediately follow it with a new request.\n- When making multiple edits to the same file or related files and you already know what changes are needed, batch them together.\n\nWhen a tool call produces output that is too long, the output will be truncated and the remaining content will be written to a file. You will see a `` tag containing the path to the overflow file. You are responsible for reading this file if you need the full output.\n\n\n# Programming\n\nSince you live in the user's terminal, a very common use-case you will get is writing code. Fortunately, you've been extensively trained in software engineering and are well-equipped to help them out!\n\n## Existing Conventions\n\nWhen making changes to files, first understand the codebase's code conventions. Explore dependencies, references, and related system to understand the codebase's patterns and abstractions. Mimic code style, use existing libraries and utilities, and follow existing patterns.\n- NEVER assume that a given library is available, even if it is well known. Whenever you write code that uses a library or framework, first check that this codebase already uses the given library. For example, you might look at neighboring files, or check the package.json (or cargo.toml, and so on depending on the language). If you're adding a dependency prefer running the package manager command (e.g. npm add or cargo add) instead of editing the file.\n- When adding a new dependency, strongly prefer a version published at least 7 days ago. Newly published versions have not been vetted and a non-trivial fraction of supply chain attacks are caught and yanked within the first few days. Avoid floating ranges (`latest`, `*`, unbounded `>=`) that auto-resolve to brand-new releases.\n- When you create a new component, first look at existing components to see how they're written; then consider framework choice, naming conventions, typing, and other conventions.\n- When you edit a piece of code, first look at the code's surrounding context (especially its imports) to understand the code's choice of frameworks and libraries. Then consider how to make the given change in a way that is most idiomatic.\n- Always follow security best practices. Never introduce code that exposes or logs secrets and keys. Never commit secrets or keys to the repository. Never modify repository security policies or compliance controls (e.g. `minimumReleaseAge`, `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, branch protection configs, `.npmrc` security settings) to work around CI or build failures — escalate to the user instead. Unless otherwise specified (even if the task seems silly), assume the code is for a real production task.\n\n## Code style\n\n- IMPORTANT: Do NOT add or remove comments unless asked! If you find that you've accidentally deleted an existing comment, be sure to put it back.\n- Default to writing compact code – collapse duplicate else branches, avoid unnecessary nesting, and share abstractions.\n- Follow idiomatic conventions for the language you're writing.\n- Avoid excessive & verbose error handling in your code. Errors should be handled, but not every line needs to be try/catched. Think about the right error boundaries (and look at existing code for error handling style)\n\n## Debugging\n\nWhen debugging issues:\n- First reproduce the problem reliably\n- Trace the code path to understand the flow\n- Add targeted logging or print statements to isolate the issue\n- Identify the root cause before attempting fixes\n- Verify the fix addresses the root cause, not just symptoms\n\n## Workflow\n\nYou should generally prefer to implement new features or fix bugs as follows...\n\n1. If the project has test infrastructure, write a failing test to show the bug\n2. Fix the bug\n3. Ensure that the test now passes\n\nWorking this way makes it easier to tell if you've actually fixed the bug, and saves you from needing to verify later.\n\n## Git\n\n### Creating commits\n1. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log` (to match commit style)\n2. Draft a concise commit message focusing on \"why\" not \"what\". Check for sensitive info.\n3. Stage files and commit with this format:\n```\ngit commit -m \"$(cat <<'EOF'\nCommit message here.\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n4. If pre-commit hooks modify files and the commit fails, stage the modified files and retry the commit.\n\n### Creating pull requests\nUse `gh` for all GitHub operations. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git diff main...HEAD`\n\nReview ALL commits (not just latest), then create PR:\n```\ngh pr create --title \"title\" --body \"$(cat <<'EOF'\n## Summary\n\n\n#### Test plan\n\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n\n### Git rules\n- NEVER update git config\n- NEVER use `-i` flags (interactive mode not supported)\n- DO NOT push unless explicitly asked\n- DO NOT commit if no changes exist\n\n\n# Task Management\n\nYou have access to the todo_write tool to help you manage and plan tasks. Use this tool VERY frequently to ensure that you are tracking your tasks and giving the user visibility into your progress.\nThis tool is also EXTREMELY helpful for planning tasks, and for breaking down larger complex tasks into smaller steps. If you do not use this tool when planning, you may forget to do important tasks - and that is unacceptable.\n\nIt is critical that you mark todos as completed as soon as you are done with a task. Do not batch up multiple tasks before marking them as completed.\n\nExamples:\n\n\nuser: Run the build and fix any type errors\nassistant: I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write the following items to the todo list:\n- Run the build\n- Fix any type errors\n\nI'm now going to run the build using exec.\n\nLooks like I found 10 type errors. I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write 10 items to the todo list.\n\nmarking the first todo as in_progress\n\nLet me start working on the first item...\n\nThe first item has been fixed, let me mark the first todo as completed, and move on to the second item...\n..\n..\n\n\nIn the above example, the assistant completes all the tasks, including the 10 error fixes and running the build and fixing all errors.\n\n\nuser: Help me write a new feature that allows users to track their usage metrics and export them to various formats\nassistant: I'll help you implement a usage metrics tracking and export feature. Let me first use the todo_write tool to plan this task.\nAdding the following todos to the todo list:\n1. Research existing metrics tracking in the codebase\n2. Design the metrics collection system\n3. Implement core metrics tracking functionality\n4. Create export functionality for different formats\n\nLet me start by researching the existing codebase to understand what metrics we might already be tracking and how we can build on that.\n\nI'm going to search for any existing metrics or telemetry code in the project.\n\nI've found some existing telemetry code. Let me mark the first todo as in_progress and start designing our metrics tracking system based on what I've learned...\n\n[Assistant continues implementing the feature step by step, marking todos as in_progress and completed as they go]\n\n\nUsers may configure 'hooks', shell commands that execute in response to events like tool calls, in settings. Treat feedback from hooks, including , as coming from the user. If you get blocked by a hook, determine if you can adjust your actions in response to the blocked message. If not, ask the user to check their hooks configuration.\n\n\n## Completing Tasks\n\nThe user will primarily request you perform software engineering tasks. This includes solving bugs, adding new functionality, refactoring code, explaining code, and more. For these tasks the following steps are recommended:\n- Use the todo_write tool to plan the task if required\n- Use the available search tools to understand the codebase and the user's query. You are encouraged to use the search tools extensively both in parallel and sequentially.\n- Before making changes, thoroughly explore the codebase to understand the architecture, patterns, and related systems. Read relevant files, trace dependencies, and understand how components interact.\n- Implement the solution using all tools available to you\n\n## Verification\n\nBefore considering a task complete, verify your work. Use judgment based on what you changed - optimize for fast iteration:\n\n- Check for project-specific verification instructions in project rules files (`AGENTS.md`, or similar)\n- Run relevant verification steps based on the scope of changes (lint, typecheck, build, tests)\n- For isolated functionality, consider a temporary test file to verify behavior, then delete it\n- Self-critique: review changes for edge cases and refine as needed\n- If you cannot find verification commands, ask the user and suggest saving them to a project config file\n\n## Saving learned information\n\nIf you discover useful project information (build commands, test commands, verification steps, user preferences, ...) that isn't already documented:\n- If a rules file exists (`AGENTS.md`, etc.), append to it\n- Otherwise, create `AGENTS.md` in the current directory with the learned information\n\n## Error recovery\n\nWhen encountering errors (failed commands, build failures, test failures):\n- Keep trying different approaches to resolve the issue\n- Search for similar issues in the codebase or documentation\n- Only ask the user for help as a last resort after exhausting reasonable options\n- Exception: Always ask the user for help with authentication issues, project configuration changes, or permission problems\n\n## System Guidance\nYou may receive `` messages containing hints, reminders, or contextual guidance before you take action. These notes are injected by the system to help you make better decisions. Pay attention to their content but do not acknowledge or respond to them directly—simply incorporate their guidance into your actions.\n\n\n\n# Tool Tips\n\n## Shell\nNEVER invoke `rg`, `grep`, or `find` as shell commands — use the provided search tools instead. They have been optimized for correct permissions and access.\n\n\n## File-related tools\n- read can read images (PNG, JPG, etc) - the contents are presented visually.\n- For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files), use notebook_read instead of read.\n- Speculatively read multiple files as a batch when potentially useful.\n- Do NOT create documentation files to describe your changes or plan. Exception: persistent project info files like `AGENTS.md` are allowed.\n\n\n# Safety\n\nIMPORTANT: Assist with defensive security tasks only. Refuse to create, modify, or improve code that may be used maliciously. Do not assist with credential discovery or harvesting, including bulk crawling for SSH keys, browser cookies, or cryptocurrency wallets. Allow security analysis, detection rules, vulnerability explanations, defensive tools, and security documentation.\n\nIMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.\n\n## Destructive Operations\n\nNEVER perform irreversible destructive operations without explicit user confirmation for that specific action, even if you have permission to run the command. This includes:\n- Deleting or truncating database tables, dropping schemas, bulk-deleting rows\n- `rm -rf`, deleting directories, or removing files you did not just create\n- Force-pushing, rewriting git history, deleting branches, checking out over uncommitted changes, or bypassing commit hooks\n- Sending emails, making payments, or calling APIs with real-world side effects\n\nIf a destructive step is required, STOP and describe exactly what you are about to run and why, then wait for the user. Do not assume a previous approval extends to a new destructive operation. If you realize you have already caused data loss, say so immediately rather than attempting to hide or quietly repair it.\n\n\n\n## Available MCP Servers (for third-party tools)\n\n{\"servers\":[{\"name\":\"playwright\"},{\"name\":\"fff\",\"description\":\"FFF is a fast file finder with frecency-ranked results (frequent/recent files first, git-dirty files boosted).\\n\\n## Which Tool Should I Use?\\n\\n- **grep**: DEFAULT tool. Searches file CONTENTS -- definitions, usage, patterns. Use when you have a specific name or pattern.\\n- **find_files**: Explores which files/modules exist for a topic. Use when you DON'T have a specific identifier or LOOKING FOR A FILE.\\n- **multi_grep**: OR logic across multiple patterns. Use for case variants (e.g. ['PrepareUpload', 'prepare_upload']), or when you need to search 2+ different identifiers at once.\\n\\n## Core Rules\\n\\n### 1. Search BARE IDENTIFIERS only\\nGrep matches single lines. Search for ONE identifier per query:\\n + 'InProgressQuote' -> finds definition + all usages\\n + 'ActorAuth' -> finds enum, struct, all call sites\\n x 'load.*metadata.*InProgressQuote' -> regex spanning multiple tokens, 0 results\\n x 'ctx.data::' -> code syntax, too specific, 0 results\\n x 'struct ActorAuth' -> adding keywords narrows results, misses enums/traits/type aliases\\n x 'TODO.*#\\\\d+' -> complex regex, use simple 'TODO' then filter visually\\n\\n### 2. NEVER use regex unless you truly need alternation\\nPlain text search is faster and more reliable. Regex patterns like `.*`, `\\\\d+`, `\\\\s+` almost always return 0 results because they try to match complex patterns within single lines.\\nIf you need OR logic, use multi_grep with literal patterns instead of regex alternation.\\n\\n### 3. Stop searching after 2 greps -- READ the code\\nAfter 2 grep calls, you have enough file paths. Read the top result to understand the code.\\nDo NOT keep grepping with variations. More greps != better understanding.\\n\\n### 4. Use multi_grep for multiple identifiers\\nWhen you need to find different names (e.g. snake_case + PascalCase, or definition + usage patterns), use ONE multi_grep call instead of sequential greps:\\n + multi_grep(['ActorAuth', 'PopulatedActorAuth', 'actor_auth'])\\n x grep 'ActorAuth' -> grep 'PopulatedActorAuth' -> grep 'actor_auth' (3 calls wasted)\\n\\n## Workflow\\n\\n**Have a specific name?** -> grep the bare identifier.\\n**Need multiple name variants?** -> multi_grep with all variants in one call.\\n**Exploring a topic / finding files?** -> find_files.\\n**Got results?** -> Read the top file. Don't grep again.\\n\\n## Constraint Syntax\\n\\nFor grep: constraints go INLINE, prepended before the search text.\\nFor multi_grep: constraints go in the separate 'constraints' parameter.\\n\\nConstraints MUST match one of these formats:\\n Extension: '*.rs', '*.{ts,tsx}'\\n Directory: 'src/', 'quotes/'\\n Filename: 'schema.rs', 'src/main.rs'\\n Exclude: '!test/', '!*.spec.ts'\\n\\n! Bare words without extensions are NOT constraints. 'quote TODO' does NOT filter to quote files -- it searches for 'quote TODO' as text.\\n + 'schema.rs TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in files schema.rs\\n + 'quotes/ TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in the quotes/ directory\\n x 'quote TODO' -> searches for literal text 'quote TODO', finds nothing\\n\\nPrefer broad constraints:\\n + '*.rs query' -> file type\\n + 'quotes/ query' -> top-level dir\\n x 'quotes/storage/db/ query' -> too specific, misses results\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\ngrep results auto-expand definitions with body context (struct fields, function signatures).\\nThis often provides enough information WITHOUT a follow-up Read call.\\nLines marked with | are definition body context. [def] marks definition files.\\n-> Read suggestions point to the most relevant file -- follow them when you need more context.\\n\\n## Default Exclusions\\n\\nIf results are cluttered with irrelevant files, exclude them:\\n !tests/ - exclude tests directory\\n !*.spec.ts - exclude test files\\n !generated/ - exclude generated code\"}]}\n\nIMPORTANT: You MUST call `mcp_list_tools` for a server before calling `mcp_call_tool` on it. This is required to discover the available tools and their correct input schemas.

Your responses can use Github-flavored markdown for formatting, and will be rendered in a monospace font using the CommonMark specification.\n- Output text to communicate with the user; all text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user. Only use tools to complete tasks. Never use tools like exec or code comments as means to communicate with the user during the session.\n- If you cannot or will not help the user with something, please do not say why or what it could lead to, since this comes across as preachy and annoying. Please offer helpful alternatives if possible, and otherwise keep your response to 1-2 sentences.\n- Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid using emojis in all communication unless asked.\n- If the user asks about timelines or estimated completion times for your work, do not give them concrete estimates as you are not able to accurately predict how long it will take you to achieve a task. Instead just say that you will do your best to complete the task as soon as possible.\n- Avoid guessing. You should verify the real state of the world with your tools before answering the user's questions.\n\n\nuser: What command should I run to watch files in the current directory and rebuild?\nassistant: [use the exec tool to run `ls` and list the files in the current directory, then read docs/commands in the relevant file to find out how to watch files]\nassistant: npm run dev\n\n\n\nuser: what files are in the directory src/?\nassistant: [runs ls and sees foo.c, bar.c, baz.c]\nassistant: foo.c, bar.c, baz.c\nuser: which file contains the implementation of Foo?\nassistant: [reads foo.c]\nassistant: src/foo.c contains `struct Foo`, which implements [...]\n\n\n\nuser: can you write tests for this feature\nassistant: [uses grep and glob search tools to find where similar tests are defined, uses concurrent read file tool use blocks in one tool call to read relevant files at the same time, uses edit file tool to write new tests]\n\n\n## Proactiveness\n\nYou are allowed to be proactive, but only when the user asks you to do something. You should strive to strike a balance between:\n\n1. Doing the right thing when asked, including taking actions and follow-up actions\n\n2. Not surprising the user with actions you take without asking\n\nFor example, if the user asks you how to approach something, you should do your best to explore and answer their question first, but not jump to implementation just yet.\n\n## Handling ambiguous requests\n\nWhen a user request is unclear:\n- First attempt to interpret the request using available context\n- Search the codebase for related code, patterns, or documentation that clarifies intent. Also consider searching the web.\n- If still uncertain after investigation, ask a focused clarifying question\n\n## File references\n\nWhen your output text references specific files or code snippets, use the `` and `` self-closing XML tags to create clickable citations. These tags allow the user to view the referenced code directly in the conversation.\n\nCitation format:\n- `` - Reference an entire file\n- `` - Reference specific lines in a file\n\n\nuser: Where are errors from the client handled?\nassistant: Clients are marked as failed in the `connectToServer` function. \n\n\n\nuser: Can you show me the config file?\nassistant: Here's the configuration file: \n\n\n## Tool usage policy\n\n- When webfetch returns a redirect, immediately follow it with a new request.\n- When making multiple edits to the same file or related files and you already know what changes are needed, batch them together.\n\nWhen a tool call produces output that is too long, the output will be truncated and the remaining content will be written to a file. You will see a `` tag containing the path to the overflow file. You are responsible for reading this file if you need the full output.\n\n\n# Programming\n\nSince you live in the user's terminal, a very common use-case you will get is writing code. Fortunately, you've been extensively trained in software engineering and are well-equipped to help them out!\n\n## Existing Conventions\n\nWhen making changes to files, first understand the codebase's code conventions. Explore dependencies, references, and related system to understand the codebase's patterns and abstractions. Mimic code style, use existing libraries and utilities, and follow existing patterns.\n- NEVER assume that a given library is available, even if it is well known. Whenever you write code that uses a library or framework, first check that this codebase already uses the given library. For example, you might look at neighboring files, or check the package.json (or cargo.toml, and so on depending on the language). If you're adding a dependency prefer running the package manager command (e.g. npm add or cargo add) instead of editing the file.\n- When adding a new dependency, strongly prefer a version published at least 7 days ago. Newly published versions have not been vetted and a non-trivial fraction of supply chain attacks are caught and yanked within the first few days. Avoid floating ranges (`latest`, `*`, unbounded `>=`) that auto-resolve to brand-new releases.\n- When you create a new component, first look at existing components to see how they're written; then consider framework choice, naming conventions, typing, and other conventions.\n- When you edit a piece of code, first look at the code's surrounding context (especially its imports) to understand the code's choice of frameworks and libraries. Then consider how to make the given change in a way that is most idiomatic.\n- Always follow security best practices. Never introduce code that exposes or logs secrets and keys. Never commit secrets or keys to the repository. Never modify repository security policies or compliance controls (e.g. `minimumReleaseAge`, `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, branch protection configs, `.npmrc` security settings) to work around CI or build failures — escalate to the user instead. Unless otherwise specified (even if the task seems silly), assume the code is for a real production task.\n\n## Code style\n\n- IMPORTANT: Do NOT add or remove comments unless asked! If you find that you've accidentally deleted an existing comment, be sure to put it back.\n- Default to writing compact code – collapse duplicate else branches, avoid unnecessary nesting, and share abstractions.\n- Follow idiomatic conventions for the language you're writing.\n- Avoid excessive & verbose error handling in your code. Errors should be handled, but not every line needs to be try/catched. Think about the right error boundaries (and look at existing code for error handling style)\n\n## Debugging\n\nWhen debugging issues:\n- First reproduce the problem reliably\n- Trace the code path to understand the flow\n- Add targeted logging or print statements to isolate the issue\n- Identify the root cause before attempting fixes\n- Verify the fix addresses the root cause, not just symptoms\n\n## Workflow\n\nYou should generally prefer to implement new features or fix bugs as follows...\n\n1. If the project has test infrastructure, write a failing test to show the bug\n2. Fix the bug\n3. Ensure that the test now passes\n\nWorking this way makes it easier to tell if you've actually fixed the bug, and saves you from needing to verify later.\n\n## Git\n\n### Creating commits\n1. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log` (to match commit style)\n2. Draft a concise commit message focusing on \"why\" not \"what\". Check for sensitive info.\n3. Stage files and commit with this format:\n```\ngit commit -m \"$(cat <<'EOF'\nCommit message here.\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n4. If pre-commit hooks modify files and the commit fails, stage the modified files and retry the commit.\n\n### Creating pull requests\nUse `gh` for all GitHub operations. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git diff main...HEAD`\n\nReview ALL commits (not just latest), then create PR:\n```\ngh pr create --title \"title\" --body \"$(cat <<'EOF'\n## Summary\n\n\n#### Test plan\n\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n\n### Git rules\n- NEVER update git config\n- NEVER use `-i` flags (interactive mode not supported)\n- DO NOT push unless explicitly asked\n- DO NOT commit if no changes exist\n\n\n# Task Management\n\nYou have access to the todo_write tool to help you manage and plan tasks. Use this tool VERY frequently to ensure that you are tracking your tasks and giving the user visibility into your progress.\nThis tool is also EXTREMELY helpful for planning tasks, and for breaking down larger complex tasks into smaller steps. If you do not use this tool when planning, you may forget to do important tasks - and that is unacceptable.\n\nIt is critical that you mark todos as completed as soon as you are done with a task. Do not batch up multiple tasks before marking them as completed.\n\nExamples:\n\n\nuser: Run the build and fix any type errors\nassistant: I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write the following items to the todo list:\n- Run the build\n- Fix any type errors\n\nI'm now going to run the build using exec.\n\nLooks like I found 10 type errors. I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write 10 items to the todo list.\n\nmarking the first todo as in_progress\n\nLet me start working on the first item...\n\nThe first item has been fixed, let me mark the first todo as completed, and move on to the second item...\n..\n..\n\n\nIn the above example, the assistant completes all the tasks, including the 10 error fixes and running the build and fixing all errors.\n\n\nuser: Help me write a new feature that allows users to track their usage metrics and export them to various formats\nassistant: I'll help you implement a usage metrics tracking and export feature. Let me first use the todo_write tool to plan this task.\nAdding the following todos to the todo list:\n1. Research existing metrics tracking in the codebase\n2. Design the metrics collection system\n3. Implement core metrics tracking functionality\n4. Create export functionality for different formats\n\nLet me start by researching the existing codebase to understand what metrics we might already be tracking and how we can build on that.\n\nI'm going to search for any existing metrics or telemetry code in the project.\n\nI've found some existing telemetry code. Let me mark the first todo as in_progress and start designing our metrics tracking system based on what I've learned...\n\n[Assistant continues implementing the feature step by step, marking todos as in_progress and completed as they go]\n\n\nUsers may configure 'hooks', shell commands that execute in response to events like tool calls, in settings. Treat feedback from hooks, including , as coming from the user. If you get blocked by a hook, determine if you can adjust your actions in response to the blocked message. If not, ask the user to check their hooks configuration.\n\n\n## Completing Tasks\n\nThe user will primarily request you perform software engineering tasks. This includes solving bugs, adding new functionality, refactoring code, explaining code, and more. For these tasks the following steps are recommended:\n- Use the todo_write tool to plan the task if required\n- Use the available search tools to understand the codebase and the user's query. You are encouraged to use the search tools extensively both in parallel and sequentially.\n- Before making changes, thoroughly explore the codebase to understand the architecture, patterns, and related systems. Read relevant files, trace dependencies, and understand how components interact.\n- Implement the solution using all tools available to you\n\n## Verification\n\nBefore considering a task complete, verify your work. Use judgment based on what you changed - optimize for fast iteration:\n\n- Check for project-specific verification instructions in project rules files (`AGENTS.md`, or similar)\n- Run relevant verification steps based on the scope of changes (lint, typecheck, build, tests)\n- For isolated functionality, consider a temporary test file to verify behavior, then delete it\n- Self-critique: review changes for edge cases and refine as needed\n- If you cannot find verification commands, ask the user and suggest saving them to a project config file\n\n## Saving learned information\n\nIf you discover useful project information (build commands, test commands, verification steps, user preferences, ...) that isn't already documented:\n- If a rules file exists (`AGENTS.md`, etc.), append to it\n- Otherwise, create `AGENTS.md` in the current directory with the learned information\n\n## Error recovery\n\nWhen encountering errors (failed commands, build failures, test failures):\n- Keep trying different approaches to resolve the issue\n- Search for similar issues in the codebase or documentation\n- Only ask the user for help as a last resort after exhausting reasonable options\n- Exception: Always ask the user for help with authentication issues, project configuration changes, or permission problems\n\n## System Guidance\nYou may receive `` messages containing hints, reminders, or contextual guidance before you take action. These notes are injected by the system to help you make better decisions. Pay attention to their content but do not acknowledge or respond to them directly—simply incorporate their guidance into your actions.\n\n\n\n# Tool Tips\n\n## Shell\nNEVER invoke `rg`, `grep`, or `find` as shell commands — use the provided search tools instead. They have been optimized for correct permissions and access.\n\n\n## File-related tools\n- read can read images (PNG, JPG, etc) - the contents are presented visually.\n- For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files), use notebook_read instead of read.\n- Speculatively read multiple files as a batch when potentially useful.\n- Do NOT create documentation files to describe your changes or plan. Exception: persistent project info files like `AGENTS.md` are allowed.\n\n\n# Safety\n\nIMPORTANT: Assist with defensive security tasks only. Refuse to create, modify, or improve code that may be used maliciously. Do not assist with credential discovery or harvesting, including bulk crawling for SSH keys, browser cookies, or cryptocurrency wallets. Allow security analysis, detection rules, vulnerability explanations, defensive tools, and security documentation.\n\nIMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.\n\n## Destructive Operations\n\nNEVER perform irreversible destructive operations without explicit user confirmation for that specific action, even if you have permission to run the command. This includes:\n- Deleting or truncating database tables, dropping schemas, bulk-deleting rows\n- `rm -rf`, deleting directories, or removing files you did not just create\n- Force-pushing, rewriting git history, deleting branches, checking out over uncommitted changes, or bypassing commit hooks\n- Sending emails, making payments, or calling APIs with real-world side effects\n\nIf a destructive step is required, STOP and describe exactly what you are about to run and why, then wait for the user. Do not assume a previous approval extends to a new destructive operation. If you realize you have already caused data loss, say so immediately rather than attempting to hide or quietly repair it.\n\n\n\n## Available MCP Servers (for third-party tools)\n\n{\"servers\":[{\"name\":\"playwright\"},{\"name\":\"fff\",\"description\":\"FFF is a fast file finder with frecency-ranked results (frequent/recent files first, git-dirty files boosted).\\n\\n## Which Tool Should I Use?\\n\\n- **grep**: DEFAULT tool. Searches file CONTENTS -- definitions, usage, patterns. Use when you have a specific name or pattern.\\n- **find_files**: Explores which files/modules exist for a topic. Use when you DON'T have a specific identifier or LOOKING FOR A FILE.\\n- **multi_grep**: OR logic across multiple patterns. Use for case variants (e.g. ['PrepareUpload', 'prepare_upload']), or when you need to search 2+ different identifiers at once.\\n\\n## Core Rules\\n\\n### 1. Search BARE IDENTIFIERS only\\nGrep matches single lines. Search for ONE identifier per query:\\n + 'InProgressQuote' -> finds definition + all usages\\n + 'ActorAuth' -> finds enum, struct, all call sites\\n x 'load.*metadata.*InProgressQuote' -> regex spanning multiple tokens, 0 results\\n x 'ctx.data::' -> code syntax, too specific, 0 results\\n x 'struct ActorAuth' -> adding keywords narrows results, misses enums/traits/type aliases\\n x 'TODO.*#\\\\d+' -> complex regex, use simple 'TODO' then filter visually\\n\\n### 2. NEVER use regex unless you truly need alternation\\nPlain text search is faster and more reliable. Regex patterns like `.*`, `\\\\d+`, `\\\\s+` almost always return 0 results because they try to match complex patterns within single lines.\\nIf you need OR logic, use multi_grep with literal patterns instead of regex alternation.\\n\\n### 3. Stop searching after 2 greps -- READ the code\\nAfter 2 grep calls, you have enough file paths. Read the top result to understand the code.\\nDo NOT keep grepping with variations. More greps != better understanding.\\n\\n### 4. Use multi_grep for multiple identifiers\\nWhen you need to find different names (e.g. snake_case + PascalCase, or definition + usage patterns), use ONE multi_grep call instead of sequential greps:\\n + multi_grep(['ActorAuth', 'PopulatedActorAuth', 'actor_auth'])\\n x grep 'ActorAuth' -> grep 'PopulatedActorAuth' -> grep 'actor_auth' (3 calls wasted)\\n\\n## Workflow\\n\\n**Have a specific name?** -> grep the bare identifier.\\n**Need multiple name variants?** -> multi_grep with all variants in one call.\\n**Exploring a topic / finding files?** -> find_files.\\n**Got results?** -> Read the top file. Don't grep again.\\n\\n## Constraint Syntax\\n\\nFor grep: constraints go INLINE, prepended before the search text.\\nFor multi_grep: constraints go in the separate 'constraints' parameter.\\n\\nConstraints MUST match one of these formats:\\n Extension: '*.rs', '*.{ts,tsx}'\\n Directory: 'src/', 'quotes/'\\n Filename: 'schema.rs', 'src/main.rs'\\n Exclude: '!test/', '!*.spec.ts'\\n\\n! Bare words without extensions are NOT constraints. 'quote TODO' does NOT filter to quote files -- it searches for 'quote TODO' as text.\\n + 'schema.rs TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in files schema.rs\\n + 'quotes/ TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in the quotes/ directory\\n x 'quote TODO' -> searches for literal text 'quote TODO', finds nothing\\n\\nPrefer broad constraints:\\n + '*.rs query' -> file type\\n + 'quotes/ query' -> top-level dir\\n x 'quotes/storage/db/ query' -> too specific, misses results\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\ngrep results auto-expand definitions with body context (struct fields, function signatures).\\nThis often provides enough information WITHOUT a follow-up Read call.\\nLines marked with | are definition body context. [def] marks definition files.\\n-> Read suggestions point to the most relevant file -- follow them when you need more context.\\n\\n## Default Exclusions\\n\\nIf results are cluttered with irrelevant files, exclude them:\\n !tests/ - exclude tests directory\\n !*.spec.ts - exclude test files\\n !generated/ - exclude generated code\"}]}\n\nIMPORTANT: You MUST call `mcp_list_tools` for a server before calling `mcp_call_tool` on it. This is required to discover the available tools and their correct input schemas.

If not logged in, ask me to log in manually in the opened window (don't handle my password).\n3. Once on `https://x.com/home`, read `ct0` from `document.cookie`:\n `document.cookie.match(/ct0=([^;]+)/)[1]`\n4. Call X's GraphQL endpoints directly via `fetch()` inside `browser_evaluate`. Required headers:\n - `authorization: Bearer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANRILgAAAAAAnNwIzUejRCOuH5E6I8xnZz4puTs%3D1Zv7ttfk8LF81IUq16cHjhLTvJu4FA33AGWWjCpTnA` (the public web-app bearer token)\n - `x-csrf-token: `\n - `x-twitter-auth-type: OAuth2Session`\n - `x-twitter-active-user: yes`\n - `content-type: application/json`\n5.

Pass it URL-encoded as the `features` param.\n\n### Where things live\n- Output CSV: `~/Downloads/utilities/sdand_following.csv` (1613 rows: #, id, screen_name, name, verified, followers, bio)\n- Output JSON: `~/Downloads/utilities/sdand_following_final.json` (double-encoded JSON string; parse with `json.loads(json.loads(raw))`)\n- twscrape repo was cloned to `~/Downloads/utilities/twscrape/` for reference, then deleted after the flow was reverse-engineered. Re-clone from https://github.com/vladkens/twscrape.git if needed.\n\n## Fast Whisper transcription on Modal (A10G)\n\nFor transcribing long-form audio/video (interviews, podcasts, X/Twitter videos), use the\nutility at `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/whisper_transcribe.py`. It does the full\npipeline: URL → yt-dlp download → ffmpeg audio extract → Modal volume upload →\nfaster-whisper on A10G → JSON + TXT output. Validated at **2.3 min wall clock for 65 min\nof audio** (no caching at any layer).\n\n### Usage\nShell alias (defined in `~/.zshrc`): `whisper`\n```bash\n# Transcribe an X/Twitter video (picks first playlist item)\nwhisper \"https://x.com/.../status/123\"\n\n# Pick a specific playlist item, use a smaller model\nwhisper \"https://x.com/...\" --playlist-item 2 --model-size medium\n\n# Transcribe a local audio file\nwhisper /path/to/audio.mp3 --name my-podcast\n\n# Custom output dir + keep downloaded source\nwhisper \"https://...\" --outdir ./transcripts --keep-source\n```\nTranscript text goes to stdout (pipe with `| pbcopy`); structured JSON + readable TXT\nsaved to `/.json` and `/.txt`.\n\n### Key optimizations (vs naive T4 run that took 11.7 min)\n- **A10G GPU** (~8x fp16 throughput vs T4; Modal ~$0.60/hr vs ~$0.16/hr — pennies for short jobs)\n- **`BatchedInferencePipeline`** with `batch_size=16` — batches encoder/decoder across chunks (2-4x)\n- **`beam_size=1`** (greedy) — ~2x faster, negligible WER increase for conversational speech\n- **`vad_filter=True`** — skips silence segments\n- **`compute_type=\"float16\"`** — halves memory bandwidth\n- **No caching**: `force_build=True` on apt/pip steps + unique `download_root` per run forces\n fresh image rebuild + fresh HF model download every time\n\n### Pinned versions (must match)\n- `faster-whisper==1.1.1` (provides `BatchedInferencePipeline`)\n- `ctranslate2==4.8.0`\n- Base image: `nvidia/cuda:12.6.3-cudnn-runtime-ubuntu22.04` (provides `libcublas.so.12`;\n `debian_slim` fails with `RuntimeError: Library libcublas.so.12 is not found`)\n\n### Audio prep (done automatically by the utility)\n```bash\nffmpeg -y -i input.mp4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 -c:a aac -b:a 64k audio.m4a\n```\nMono 16kHz 64kbps AAC — a 65-min video (151 MB stream) becomes ~35 MB audio.\n\n### X/Twitter download notes\n- Tweet URLs can contain **playlists** (multiple videos). Use `--playlist-item N` to pick one.\n- Always use `-f bestaudio/best` to avoid downloading multi-GB high-bitrate video streams.\n- A 65-min interview's video variant can be 2.8+ GB; audio-only is ~63 MB (128 kbps).\n\n### Where things live\n- Utility: `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/whisper_transcribe.py`\n- Strategy doc: `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/STRATEGY.md` (full optimization breakdown)\n- Modal app (standalone): `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/transcribe_fast.py`\n- Modal volume: `whisper-audio` (created automatically; holds uploaded audio files)\n- Modal profile: `aidenhuang-personal` (workspace with GPU access)\n\n\n","created_at":"2026-07-03T04:50:31.518845Z","finish_reason":null,"metrics":null},{"message_id":"cebeeb6c-885f-43d3-b69b-61d0ce7925c2","node_id":21,"role":"user","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH62b_w48wE","created_at":"2026-07-03T04:50:31.873470Z","finish_reason":null,"metrics":null},{"message_id":"66d899b2-26c4-4f14-aeb4-3917538b8c59","node_id":22,"role":"system","content":"\nThe following skills can be invoked using the `skill` tool.

To make\n 80|\n 81|21\n 82|00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,680\n 83|things a bit more fair, I got the XL to\n 84|\n 85|22\n 86|00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,079\n 87|compare, but the XXL is technically a\n 88|\n 89|23\n 90|00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,800\n 91|better\n 92|\n 93|24\n 94|00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:47,920\n 95|pad. The Steel Series Speed is 49x 42 cm\n 96|\n 97|25\n 98|00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,360\n 99|and the XL Raiden is also 49x 42 cm. As\n100|\n101|26\n102|00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,280\n103|you can see, for whatever reason, the\n104|\n105|27\n106|00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,480\n107|Steel Series measurement margins make it\n108|\n109|28\n110|00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480\n111|actually a bit larger in both\n112|\n113|29\n114|00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,840\n115|dimensions. So the dub goes to steel\n116|\n117|30\n118|00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,760\n119|series here as you're going to have to\n120|\n121|31\n122|00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,760\n123|shell out basically double the bread to\n124|\n125|32\n126|00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,239\n127|get the larger XXL rating. Furthermore,\n128|\n129|33\n130|00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,040\n131|you can get a deskmat steel series speed\n132|\n133|34\n134|00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:06,720\n135|which is going to have a 900 cm width\n136|\n137|35\n138|00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,960\n139|but unfortunately a slightly more\n140|\n141|36\n142|00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,280\n143|shallow 40 cm depth. You know you'd\n144|\n145|37\n146|00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,159\n147|prefer the deskmat to be around 100 cm\n148|\n149|38\n150|00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,320\n151|and then maybe 45 or 50 cm depth. But at\n152|\n153|39\n154|00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,240\n155|least the option is here if you want it.\n156|\n157|40\n158|00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,880\n159|I know the desk mat market is shrinking\n160|\n161|41\n162|00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,520\n163|very rapidly. So kudos to Seeries for\n164|\n165|42\n166|00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,360\n167|keeping it alive here.\n168|\n169|43\n170|00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,960\n171|They both feature nice stitch edges. The\n172|\n173|44\n174|00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,640\n175|Steel Series is even with the pad.\n176|\n177|45\n178|00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,560\n179|Whereas for the Artisan, because I opted\n180|\n181|46\n182|00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,079\n183|for the mid, the stitch edges can\n184|\n185|47\n186|00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,000\n187|actually be felt when brushing across\n188|\n189|48\n190|00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,520\n191|the edges. The Steel Series wins here,\n192|\n193|49\n194|00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,240\n195|but technically it would lose against\n196|\n197|50\n198|00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,759\n199|the softer XSoft. I like mid pads and a\n200|\n201|51\n202|00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,520\n203|lot of people who vouch for the Raiden\n204|\n205|52\n206|00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:43,200\n207|also vouch for the mid Raiden. But if\n208|\n209|53\n210|00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,040\n211|you want the mid and this bothers you,\n212|\n213|54\n214|00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,799\n215|go ahead and get the Artisan Raiden\n216|\n217|55\n218|00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,240\n219|Classic, which features unstitched\n220|\n221|56\n222|00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,920\n223|edges. If you're worried about the\n224|\n225|57\n226|00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,680\n227|durability, this is an Artisan Zero\n228|\n229|58\n230|00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,040\n231|Classic that I used for about over two\n232|\n233|59\n234|00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,640\n235|years, I think. And you can just see\n236|\n237|60\n238|00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,079\n239|there's just absolutely no issues with\n240|\n241|61\n242|00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,680\n243|the edges here. Just a bit of dust\n244|\n245|62\n246|00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,360\n247|collected here and there, but absolutely\n248|\n249|63\n250|00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,360\n251|no fraying at all. So, I would be\n252|\n253|64\n254|00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,600\n255|confident in recommending the Raiden Mid\n256|\n257|65\n258|00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,399\n259|Classic if those stitch edges might\n260|\n261|66\n262|00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,160\n263|bother you. The Artisan features a nice\n264|\n265|67\n266|00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:09,759\n267|pon base, which is actually orange with\n268|\n269|68\n270|00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200\n271|the orange variant of the Raiden here,\n272|\n273|69\n274|00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,879\n275|which is definitely a cute detail. The\n276|\n277|70\n278|00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,360\n279|Steel Series features the foam base,\n280|\n281|71\n282|00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,560\n283|similar to the GSRS. Note that the Steel\n284|\n285|72\n286|00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400\n287|Series foam does a better job of\n288|\n289|73\n290|00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,040\n291|gripping a matte table than the Artisan\n292|\n293|74\n294|00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,640\n295|PON, but PON tends to grip glossy tables\n296|\n297|75\n298|00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,160\n299|better. Unfortunately, with the mid, the\n300|\n301|76\n302|00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:26,239\n303|mid doesn't really do a good job in\n304|\n305|77\n306|00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,000\n307|either case for me. But you can fix grip\n308|\n309|78\n310|00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:29,840\n311|issues with PON, including the mid, with\n312|\n313|79\n314|00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,680\n315|the packing tape method. Putting packing\n316|\n317|80\n318|00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,000\n319|tape just provides a glossy surface for\n320|\n321|81\n322|00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,000\n323|the PON to grip, even mid. So, I just\n324|\n325|82\n326|00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,360\n327|use a big X on the table here. And as\n328|\n329|83\n330|00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,920\n331|you can see, you're going to have no\n332|\n333|84\n334|00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,200\n335|slipping issues here. The PON, in my\n336|\n337|85\n338|00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,800\n339|experience, provides better humidity\n340|\n341|86\n342|00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,040\n343|resistance than the foam. You might\n344|\n345|87\n346|00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,800\n347|remember this foam on the old GSRS that\n348|\n349|88\n350|00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,160\n351|had really bad humidity resistance. Of\n352|\n353|89\n354|00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,599\n355|course, the surface goes a long way for\n356|\n357|90\n358|00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,879\n359|humidity resistance, but I tend to\n360|\n361|91\n362|00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,000\n363|attribute the excellent humidity\n364|\n365|92\n366|00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,680\n367|resistant of artisan pads to their foron\n368|\n369|93\n370|00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,599\n371|base. They both feature a speed focus\n372|\n373|94\n374|00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,200\n375|cloth surface. The Still series is\n376|\n377|95\n378|00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,040\n379|really smooth, while the Raiden has a\n380|\n381|96\n382|00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,560\n383|bit of grit to it in comparison, but\n384|\n385|97\n386|00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,480\n387|it's still smooth. In terms of the\n388|\n389|98\n390|00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,239\n391|texture, it's not even close to the Heen\n392|\n393|99\n394|00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,680\n395|or Zero. That makes for a really nice\n396|\n397|100\n398|00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:11,680\n399|speedy experience on both with the\n400|\n401|101\n402|00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,280\n403|Raiden definitely being faster. In my\n404|\n405|102\n406|00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640\n407|speed video, I said that the speed was\n408|\n409|103\n410|00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,400\n411|faster, but that was just something I\n412|\n413|104\n414|00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,920\n415|read on Twitter, and it turns out they\n416|\n417|105\n418|00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,360\n419|were probably wrong. The Raiden is\n420|\n421|106\n422|00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,959\n423|definitely the better performer in my\n424|\n425|107\n426|00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,159\n427|opinion because of the increased speed.\n428|\n429|108\n430|00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:23,840\n431|You definitely feel the difference in\n432|\n433|109\n434|00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,440\n435|the static friction or getting the mouse\n436|\n437|110\n438|00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440\n439|to move from a stop. Starting and\n440|\n441|111\n442|00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,920\n443|stopping motions on the Raiden feel like\n444|\n445|112\n446|00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,519\n447|they have less quote lag. Because of\n448|\n449|113\n450|00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,280\n451|this feeling, you get a slippery feeling\n452|\n453|114\n454|00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:35,200\n455|pad that's still actually controllable\n456|\n457|115\n458|00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,799\n459|as a cloth pad. So, is that all for the\n460|\n461|116\n462|00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,239\n463|video? Just get the Raiden, right? Well,\n464|\n465|117\n466|00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:40,080\n467|I think for most people, I still\n468|\n469|118\n470|00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:42,080\n471|actually think the S series Speed is the\n472|\n473|119\n474|00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,519\n475|better option. The $40 price tag is\n476|\n477|120\n478|00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,599\n479|really low. There's also a desk mat\n480|\n481|121\n482|00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:47,760\n483|version for $50 that places nicely in\n484|\n485|122\n486|00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,680\n487|the market in which performance-based\n488|\n489|123\n490|00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,480\n491|desk mats are kind of disappearing. The\n492|\n493|124\n494|00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,560\n495|standard 49x42 cm is slightly larger\n496|\n497|125\n498|00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,720\n499|than the Artisans. The stitch edges are\n500|\n501|126\n502|00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640\n503|amazing and on par with Artisans, and\n504|\n505|127\n506|00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,159\n507|the slightly slower qualities of the pad\n508|\n509|128\n510|00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680\n511|are not going to really be noticed if\n512|\n513|129\n514|00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,840\n515|you're coming from a cloth pad. Here's\n516|\n517|130\n518|00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,519\n519|another point.\n520|\n521|131\n522|00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,040\n523|I really hate to say it, but my raisin\n524|\n525|132\n526|00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:08,720\n527|wore down more in my testing than the\n528|\n529|133\n530|00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,239\n531|Siler Speed, which I used for even\n532|\n533|134\n534|00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,159\n535|longer. You might be confused because I\n536|\n537|135\n538|00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:13,760\n539|said the humidity resistance was much\n540|\n541|136\n542|00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,439\n543|better on the Artisan, which it is, but\n544|\n545|137\n546|00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,040\n547|that really isn't resistance to breaking\n548|\n549|138\n550|00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,880\n551|in. The Raiden wore down a lot quickly\n552|\n553|139\n554|00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,560\n555|compared to other pads I've used like\n556|\n557|140\n558|00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,160\n559|the Artisan Zero, the Heen, and the\n560|\n561|141\n562|00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,000\n563|Steel Series Speed itself. What happens\n564|\n565|142\n566|00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,919\n567|with the worn Raiden is that you get a\n568|\n569|143\n570|00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,840\n571|slower static friction that breaks its\n572|\n573|144\n574|00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:29,280\n575|kind of golden ratio between static and\n576|\n577|145\n578|00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,040\n579|dynamic friction. The Raiden is a\n580|\n581|146\n582|00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,720\n583|popular pad due to its smooth feeling\n584|\n585|147\n586|00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080\n587|ratio of static and dynamic friction\n588|\n589|148\n590|00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,759\n591|that I mentioned earlier. The starting\n592|\n593|149\n594|00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,680\n595|and stopping movements feel so fluid on\n596|\n597|150\n598|00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:39,120\n599|this pad. But as I broke mine down, the\n600|\n601|151\n602|00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,440\n603|static friction tended to increase\n604|\n605|152\n606|00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,440\n607|faster than the dynamic friction did. So\n608|\n609|153\n610|00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,040\n611|this is my theory. Since the Steel\n612|\n613|154\n614|00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,160\n615|Series speed is slower to begin with,\n616|\n617|155\n618|00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,759\n619|the wear down difference and the\n620|\n621|156\n622|00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,840\n623|friction was not as jarring as something\n624|\n625|157\n626|00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,680\n627|as blazingly fast as the Raiden. I want\n628|\n629|158\n630|00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,199\n631|to use data from Viscos's mouse pad\n632|\n633|159\n634|00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,639\n635|friction sheet, which has been\n636|\n637|160\n638|00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,080\n639|discontinued, but there's still a bunch\n640|\n641|161\n642|00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:58,160\n643|of valuable data here. Let's look at the\n644|\n645|162\n646|00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,720\n647|Artisan Raiden mid friction values. It\n648|\n649|163\n650|00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,120\n651|has a dynamic friction of 0.17 and a\n652|\n653|164\n654|00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,720\n655|static friction of\n656|\n657|165\n658|00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,960\n659|0.245. We can compare that to the Skyad\n660|\n661|166\n662|00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,479\n663|2 which is 0.166 and 0.215 respectively.\n664|\n665|167\n666|00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,639\n667|While these numbers are bad in relation\n668|\n669|168\n670|00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:14,880\n671|to newer Skypads and newer Glass Pads,\n672|\n673|169\n674|00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,320\n675|it's still a glass pad, but the dynamic\n676|\n677|170\n678|00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,080\n679|friction value is actually really close\n680|\n681|171\n682|00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,000\n683|to the Raiden. So essentially in my\n684|\n685|172\n686|00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,000\n687|experience, the worn in Raiden felt like\n688|\n689|173\n690|00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,160\n691|the dynamic friction of a slower glass\n692|\n693|174\n694|00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,160\n695|pad, but having the static friction of a\n696|\n697|175\n698|00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,520\n699|slightly faster cloth pad. I think this\n700|\n701|176\n702|00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280\n703|explains the strange feeling of the\n704|\n705|177\n706|00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,199\n707|padware on the Raiden for me. My\n708|\n709|178\n710|00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,800\n711|analysis definitely isn't perfect.\n712|\n713|179\n714|00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:34,960\n715|Dynamic friction likely increases with\n716|\n717|180\n718|00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,560\n719|padware as well. And I didn't record any\n720|\n721|181\n722|00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,840\n723|new numbers for the steel series speed\n724|\n725|182\n726|00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,080\n727|partially because I can't quickly\n728|\n729|183\n730|00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,919\n731|replicate Visos's data collection method\n732|\n733|184\n734|00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,919\n735|on my own. But again, this is just my\n736|\n737|185\n738|00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:45,919\n739|hypothesis and why the Steel Series\n740|\n741|186\n742|00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:48,000\n743|Speed felt normal for longer, but the\n744|\n745|187\n746|00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:49,520\n747|Raiden felt like it wore in pretty\n748|\n749|188\n750|00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,199\n751|quickly. Again, I could be slightly\n752|\n753|189\n754|00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,800\n755|wrong here. But is that sticky static\n756|\n757|190\n758|00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,720\n759|feeling an issue if you can just wash\n760|\n761|191\n762|00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,039\n763|the pad? No, not really. I've washed the\n764|\n765|192\n766|00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,039\n767|pad\n768|\n769|193\n770|00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,520\n771|and feels pretty good again. However, in\n772|\n773|194\n774|00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,280\n775|my experience, the more times you wash\n776|\n777|195\n778|00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,039\n779|the pad and wear it down, the time\n780|\n781|196\n782|00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,520\n783|between washes will decrease. I have an\n784|\n785|197\n786|00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:09,199\n787|old Hayateu that I really liked, but I\n788|\n789|198\n790|00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,880\n791|had to wash it so many times and\n792|\n793|199\n794|00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,280\n795|eventually it just became a mudpad\n796|\n797|200\n798|00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,600\n799|beyond saving. And again, my Siler Speed\n800|\n801|201\n802|00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,440\n803|recommendation is for most people. Most\n804|\n805|202\n806|00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,960\n807|people don't wash their mouse pad. A lot\n808|\n809|203\n810|00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,280\n811|of gamers don't even wash their boxers\n812|\n813|204\n814|00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,960\n815|with skid marks on them. So, here's a\n816|\n817|205\n818|00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,400\n819|verdict. The Artisan Raiden is only\n820|\n821|206\n822|00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,479\n823|worth it if you're really obsessed with\n824|\n825|207\n826|00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,160\n827|maybe ranking up in competitive games,\n828|\n829|208\n830|00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:29,840\n831|maybe addicted to aim trainers, and\n832|\n833|209\n834|00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,520\n835|maybe if you live in a humid area\n836|\n837|210\n838|00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:34,080\n839|without access to, you know, a\n840|\n841|211\n842|00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440\n843|dehumidifier or AC during humid seasons.\n844|\n845|212\n846|00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,680\n847|In those cases, I think you should\n848|\n849|213\n850|00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,680\n851|prioritize the Artisan pads due to good\n852|\n853|214\n854|00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,199\n855|humidity resistance and the slight edge\n856|\n857|215\n858|00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,639\n859|in performance it gives you with the\n860|\n861|216\n862|00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,479\n863|Surface. But I still think if you're a\n864|\n865|217\n866|00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,319\n867|normal gamer that just simply wants a\n868|\n869|218\n870|00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:48,000\n871|slightly faster pad than their old muddy\n872|\n873|219\n874|00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,520\n875|control pad, I highly recommend saving\n876|\n877|220\n878|00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,880\n879|some change and getting the Steel Series\n880|\n881|221\n882|00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400\n883|Speed with the option of also getting\n884|\n885|222\n886|00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,160\n887|the desk mat if you're that kind of\n888|\n889|223\n890|00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,000\n891|person. While the Raiden is definitely\n892|\n893|224\n894|00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520\n895|the more elite option, the Steel Series\n896|\n897|225\n898|00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,120\n899|Speed is still a good pad before\n900|\n901|226\n902|00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,720\n903|considering the price and a great pad\n904|\n905|227\n906|00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,919\n907|after considering the price. On top of\n908|\n909|228\n910|00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,479\n911|all of that, you can get it at a\n912|\n913|229\n914|00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:04,479\n915|retailer.\n","created_at":"2026-07-03T04:50:47.345244Z","finish_reason":null,"metrics":null},{"message_id":"1213556c-1425-4808-9bb2-6db30f2e69f7","node_id":33,"role":"assistant","content":"## Summary of the video\n\n**Video:** SteelSeries Speed vs. Artisan Raiden mouse pad comparison/review.\n\nThe reviewer previously recommended the **SteelSeries Speed** for improving mouse control, especially finger and wrist dexterity. After maining the **Artisan Raiden Mid** for a month, he updates his verdict.\n\n### Quick comparison\n- **Price:** SteelSeries Speed ~$40; Artisan Raiden ~$70 (XL) / ~$80 (XXL).\n- **Size:** Both are 49×42 cm, but the SteelSeries pad is actually slightly larger in both dimensions. SteelSeries also offers a $50 desk mat option (900×40 cm), which is rare now that performance desk mats are disappearing.\n- **Edges:** Both have stitched edges. The SteelSeries edge is flush with the pad surface; the Raiden Mid’s edge can be felt when brushing across it. The **Raiden Classic** has unstitched edges if that bothers you.\n- **Base:** Artisan uses a PON base (orange on the orange variant — a nice touch). SteelSeries uses a foam base similar to the QcK. SteelSeries foam grips matte tables better; Artisan PON grips glossy tables better. The reviewer uses packing tape on the desk to fix PON grip issues. PON also has better humidity resistance.\n- **Surface:** Both are speed-focused cloth pads. SteelSeries is very smooth; the Raiden has a bit of grit but is still smooth. The Raiden is faster, with noticeably lower static friction — starting/stopping feels “snappier” and less laggy.\n\n### The main takeaway\nDespite the Raiden being the faster, more elite performer, the reviewer still recommends the **SteelSeries Speed for most people**:\n\n- Much cheaper ($40 vs. $70–$80).\n- Larger size, desk mat option.\n- Better flush stitched edges.\n- Its slower, more controlled speed is still a noticeable upgrade if you’re coming from a muddy control pad.\n- It wears down more gradually and consistently. The Raiden’s static friction rises faster than its dynamic friction as it breaks in, which hurts its smooth “golden ratio” feel.\n\n### Verdict\n- **Get the Artisan Raiden** only if you’re highly competitive, addicted to aim trainers, or live in a humid environment without a dehumidifier/AC.\n- **Get the SteelSeries Speed** if you’re a normal gamer who just wants a faster, affordable pad — and you can even grab the desk mat if you prefer full-desk coverage.","tool_calls":[],"thinking":"I have the full captions. Now I'll summarize the video. Let me provide a concise summary of the key points.\n\nThe video is a comparison/review of the SteelSeries Speed vs the Artisan Raiden mouse pads. The speaker previously recommended the SteelSeries Speed but has now tried the Artisan Raiden for a month.\n\nKey points:\n- AB comparison: SteelSeries Speed ~$40, Artisan Raiden ~$70-80. Both 49x42cm but SteelSeries is slightly larger. SteelSeries also has a desk mat option for $50.\n- Both have stitched edges; SteelSeries is flush with the pad, Artisan Mid's edges can be felt. The Raiden Classic has unstitched edges.\n- Bases: Artisan has PON base (orange with the orange variant), SteelSeries has foam base. SteelSeries foam grips matte tables better; PON grips glossy tables better. PON has better humidity resistance.\n- Surfaces: Both speed-focused cloth surfaces. SteelSeries is smooth; Raiden has a bit of grit but still smooth. Raiden is faster and performs better in terms of starting/stopping motion.\n- However, speaker still recommends SteelSeries Speed for most people due to lower price, desk mat option, slightly larger size, better edge stitching, and more gradual wear-down.\n- Raiden wears down faster - static friction increases faster than dynamic friction, breaking its golden ratio. Washing can fix this temporarily but it wears down faster over time.\n- Final verdict: Artisan Raiden is worth it only if you're very competitive, serious about aim training, or live in a humid area without dehumidifier/AC. For normal gamers wanting a faster pad than their old control pad, SteelSeries Speed is recommended.\n\nI'll present this summary concisely.","created_at":"2026-07-03T04:50:55.189481Z","finish_reason":"stop","metrics":{"ttft_ms":2723,"total_time_ms":7843,"input_tokens":8478,"output_tokens":878,"cache_read_tokens":18862,"cache_creation_tokens":null,"tpot_ms":5.831435079726652,"tokens_per_sec":171.484375}}]}
