▶ Watch the Mini-Documentary
Okay, the user is acting as Editor in Chief for GX News Wire, which covers reggae and dancehall music. They’ve given me a story from Barbados Nation about the UN voting to adopt a new world map that reflects Africa’s true size. My job is to check if this is relevant to reggae, dancehall, or Caribbean music culture. If not, I just reply with “SKIP”.
First, I need to assess relevance. The story is about the UN voting on a map resolution. Reggae and dancehall are Caribbean music genres with roots in Jamaica, but this is a global UN decision about cartography. There’s no direct link to reggae music, dancehall culture, or Caribbean music scenes. The UN vote is political and geographical, not musical. Caribbean music culture wouldn’t be impacted by this map change in a way that affects reggae or dancehall. So this isn’t relevant to their domain.
Next, I check if it’s a duplicate. Looking at the list of stories already covered today: there’s stuff about Powerman’s son, dancehall series, lyrics, net worths, AFCON qualifiers, fashion crowns, injuries, etc. None of these are about UN map resolutions or African geography. The only similar thing is “UN Votes to Support ‘Larger’ More Accurate Map of Africa, US Casts Only Vote Against” from the list, but that’s a different story—it’s about the UN voting on a map for Africa, but the original story here is specifically about replacing the world map to reflect Africa’s true size. The key difference is the scope: this is a world map change, not just Africa. The existing story mentions “larger” map for Africa, while this one is about the entire world map. So it’s not a duplicate. But since the story isn’t relevant to reggae/dancehall anyway, I don’t need to worry about duplicates for the skip decision.
Since it’s not relevant, I should just reply with “SKIP”. The instructions say if not relevant, reply with just “SKIP”. No need for any rewrite or domain specification.
I’ll make sure my response is exactly “SKIP” with no extra text. The user emphasized: “Your entire response must be ONLY that — no explanation…”. So I’ll output just “SKIP”.
