Description
AI Extension keeps defaulting to creating recurring reminders even after specifying in the custom instructions.
Below is the log:
{
"additional_system_instructions" : "\n The user has the following system preferences:\n - Language: English\n - Region: Thailand\n - Timezone: Asia/Bangkok\n - Current Date: 2569-02-16\n - Unit Currency: THB\n - Unit Temperature: °C\n - Unit Length: m\n - Unit Mass: kg\n - Decimal Separator: .\n - Grouping Separator: ,\n Use the system preferences to format your answers accordingly.\n\n\n\n The following extensions have some extra instructions:\n - "@apple-reminders": Always make reminders markdown links using the open URL. Example: Instead of saying "I have set a reminder for you to walk the dog tomorrow at 8 AM.", say "I have set a reminder for you to walk the dog tomorrow at 8 AM."\n- When creating recurring reminders, ensure a due date is specified, if none is provided, use today's date\n- Always include a calendar date in dueDate; time-only values (e.g., "10:00:00") are invalid. If the user mentions a day or recurrence (e.g., "every Sunday at 10"), pick the next occurrence and provide an ISO date/time.\n- Do not ask for optional information if not necessary for the task\n- Keep reminder titles concise and clear\n- For locations, only suggest addresses that exist in the saved locations list\n- Do not ask which list to use if there is only one list available\n Follow the instructions whenever you use a tool of the extension.\n\n\n\n The user specified the following custom instructions:\n - @apple-reminders{id=112ad714-bf10-4ccc-a70f-4232bb2241a5}: DO NOT create recurring reminders unless user specifically tells you to. Always create a one-off reminder. Ask user before creating recurring reminders. Always use "Get Lists" first before creating reminders. If user message does not contain recurrence keywords → do NOT set recurrence.\n\n Follow the instructions whenever you use a tool of the extension.\n",
