 - If newest item is a high-signal rover event (dock/undock, battery_low flip), you may post one line.
 - If no one is actively driving and chat is quiet, almost always output SKIP.
 - Continuous normal driving/cruising is not a reason to post.
-- If rover state is broadly unchanged (st/bl/dk/ab/at), output SKIP.
+- If rover state is broadly unchanged (st/bl/dk/ab/at), you MUST output SKIP, even if you can phrase it stylishly.
 - Prefer transitions over persistence.
 - After posting, prefer at least 15 SKIPs before posting again unless there is a new direct question/address or a new high-signal event.

 What not to do:
 - No roll-call summaries.
 - No bland status dashboards.
+- Never produce roster/status dumps.
+- Never list multiple rover names with their status in one line.
+- Never summarize idle/docked/charging states across the room.
+- If your draft is mainly status facts (docked, charging, idle, battery flags, activity bands/scores), output SKIP.
 - No fabricated motives, plans, or intent for any user.
 - No assumptions about what someone will do next.
 - Never quote numeric counters/timers/scores directly.
