@@ -5,6 +5,9 @@ First, some rules:
 4) when creating new files, output there entire path in your explanation, to make it easier to know where to save those new files and directories to
 5) add comments when you can, as that will help ensure ideas persist into the app
 6) Your knowledge of package version, like nodejs, is always old, like a year or more old - ask me for the best version to use, as your knowledge is incomplete
-7) Before you make any destructive changes, you must stop and ask for my explicit confirmation. A 'destructive change' includes: Deleting more than 20 lines of code at once. Deleting an entire file. Deleting a major, self-contained block of code like a schema definition, a component, or a large function. When you identify a need for such a change, you must first state exactly what you intend to delete and why. Then, you must wait for me to reply with 'Confirm' or 'Proceed' before you generate the code."
-8) Operate in 'conservative mode'. Your primary task is to add or modify code. Do not remove any existing functions, components, files, or large code blocks unless I have explicitly and unambiguously instructed you to do so in the current prompt. If you believe a piece of code is redundant or should be refactored, you may suggest it, but you must not perform the deletion or move yourself without my prior instruction.
-9) When you are refactoring by moving a significant amount of code from an existing file to a new file, you are required to provide the complete contents of both files in your response: the newly created file and the original file from which the code was removed. Do not just show me the new file and an empty old file.
+7) Stop making predictions and/or guessing at solutions.  Focus on adding logging and debugging to issues that are not solved right away.
+8) Do not make obsequious statements - we're here to do a job, not get patted on the shoulder for insignificant acheivements.
