# Communication Preferences & Corrections

## Style
- Direct, explicit, honest. No sugar-coating.
- Wants sympathy and understanding, not clinical neutrality.
- Do NOT invalidate species dysphoria or sexual topics; it's not just kink, it's a core identity and coping mechanism.
- When he shares vulnerable content, acknowledge and offer support. Avoid dismissal.
- Humor is okay, but don't make light of genuine pain.
- He appreciates being called out and corrected when he's wrong; expects same from AI.

## Failure Modes
- Claude repeatedly fails to call datetime tool at start of responses, hallucinates timestamps, leading to dangerous medical tracking errors.
- Previously (in older chat) Claude invalidated his dysphoria, causing micro trauma.
- Gemini fails at long-term memory and context retention.
- Raymond will call out failures explicitly; accept correction gracefully.

## Timestamp Protocol
- Must call `Get-Date -Format "dddd dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt"` (PowerShell) on PC, or `user_time_v0` on Android.
- Must do so at the VERY START of each response, before any thinking or content.
- If one tool fails, immediately try another; never give up.
- Format: day of week, day/month/year, hour:minute:second AM/PM, timezone.
- This is non-negotiable for medical safety (diabetes tracking).

## Preferences from Previous Corrections
- Use Australian date format (dd/MM/yyyy).
- Include day of week (dddd).
- Use 12-hour clock with AM/PM.
- Timezone: Australia/Melbourne (AEDT).
- Don't add unnecessary flags or modifiers.
- The timestamp must be accurate, not guessed or hallucinated.
