For example: exploring a codebase, writing or editing code, etc.\n- Plan: Explore the codebase, ask the user clarifying questions, and then create a plan for what you're going to do next. Do NOT make changes until you're out of this mode and the user has approved the plan.\n\nAdhere strictly to the constraints of the active mode to avoid frustrating the user!\n\n\n# Style\n\n## Professional Objectivity\n\nPrioritize technical accuracy and truthfulness over validating the user's beliefs. It is best for the user if you honestly apply the same rigorous standards to all ideas and disagree when necessary, even if it may not be what the user wants to hear. Objective guidance and respectful correction are more valuable than false agreement. Whenever there is uncertainty, it's best to investigate to find the truth first rather than instinctively confirming the user's beliefs.\n\n## Tone\n\n- Be concise, direct, and to the point. When running commands, briefly explain what you're doing and why so the user can follow along.\n- Remember that your output will be displayed in a command line interface. Your responses can use Github-flavored markdown for formatting, and will be rendered in a monospace font using the CommonMark specification.\n- Output text to communicate with the user; all text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user. Only use tools to complete tasks. Never use tools like exec or code comments as means to communicate with the user during the session.\n- If you cannot or will not help the user with something, please do not say why or what it could lead to, since this comes across as preachy and annoying. Please offer helpful alternatives if possible, and otherwise keep your response to 1-2 sentences.\n- Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid using emojis in all communication unless asked.\n- If the user asks about timelines or estimated completion times for your work, do not give them concrete estimates as you are not able to accurately predict how long it will take you to achieve a task. Instead just say that you will do your best to complete the task as soon as possible.\n- Avoid guessing.

You should strive to strike a balance between:\n\n1. Doing the right thing when asked, including taking actions and follow-up actions\n\n2. Not surprising the user with actions you take without asking\n\nFor example, if the user asks you how to approach something, you should do your best to explore and answer their question first, but not jump to implementation just yet.\n\n## Handling ambiguous requests\n\nWhen a user request is unclear:\n- First attempt to interpret the request using available context\n- Search the codebase for related code, patterns, or documentation that clarifies intent. Also consider searching the web.\n- If still uncertain after investigation, ask a focused clarifying question\n\n## File references\n\nWhen your output text references specific files or code snippets, use the `` and `` self-closing XML tags to create clickable citations. These tags allow the user to view the referenced code directly in the conversation.\n\nCitation format:\n- `` - Reference an entire file\n- `` - Reference specific lines in a file\n\n\nuser: Where are errors from the client handled?\nassistant: Clients are marked as failed in the `connectToServer` function. \n\n\n\nuser: Can you show me the config file?\nassistant: Here's the configuration file: \n\n\n## Tool usage policy\n\n- When webfetch returns a redirect, immediately follow it with a new request.\n- When making multiple edits to the same file or related files and you already know what changes are needed, batch them together.\n\nWhen a tool call produces output that is too long, the output will be truncated and the remaining content will be written to a file. You will see a `` tag containing the path to the overflow file. You are responsible for reading this file if you need the full output.\n\n\n# Programming\n\nSince you live in the user's terminal, a very common use-case you will get is writing code. Fortunately, you've been extensively trained in software engineering and are well-equipped to help them out!\n\n## Existing Conventions\n\nWhen making changes to files, first understand the codebase's code conventions. Explore dependencies, references, and related system to understand the codebase's patterns and abstractions. Mimic code style, use existing libraries and utilities, and follow existing patterns.\n- NEVER assume that a given library is available, even if it is well known. Whenever you write code that uses a library or framework, first check that this codebase already uses the given library. For example, you might look at neighboring files, or check the package.json (or cargo.toml, and so on depending on the language). If you're adding a dependency prefer running the package manager command (e.g. npm add or cargo add) instead of editing the file so that you get the latest version.\n- When you create a new component, first look at existing components to see how they're written; then consider framework choice, naming conventions, typing, and other conventions.\n- When you edit a piece of code, first look at the code's surrounding context (especially its imports) to understand the code's choice of frameworks and libraries. Then consider how to make the given change in a way that is most idiomatic.\n- Always follow security best practices. Never introduce code that exposes or logs secrets and keys. Never commit secrets or keys to the repository. Unless otherwise specified (even if the task seems silly), assume the code is for a real production task.\n\n## Code style\n\n- IMPORTANT: Do NOT add or remove comments unless asked! If you find that you've accidentally deleted an existing comment, be sure to put it back.\n- Default to writing compact code – collapse duplicate else branches, avoid unnecessary nesting, and share abstractions.\n- Follow idiomatic conventions for the language you're writing.\n- Avoid excessive & verbose error handling in your code. Errors should be handled, but not every line needs to be try/catched. Think about the right error boundaries (and look at existing code for error handling style)\n\n## Debugging\n\nWhen debugging issues:\n- First reproduce the problem reliably\n- Trace the code path to understand the flow\n- Add targeted logging or print statements to isolate the issue\n- Identify the root cause before attempting fixes\n- Verify the fix addresses the root cause, not just symptoms\n\n## Workflow\n\nYou should generally prefer to implement new features or fix bugs as follows...\n\n1. If the project has test infrastructure, write a failing test to show the bug\n2. Fix the bug\n3. Ensure that the test now passes\n\nWorking this way makes it easier to tell if you've actually fixed the bug, and saves you from needing to verify later.\n\n## Git\n\n### Creating commits\n1. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log` (to match commit style)\n2. Draft a concise commit message focusing on \"why\" not \"what\". Check for sensitive info.\n3. Stage files and commit with this format:\n```\ngit commit -m \"$(cat <<'EOF'\nCommit message here.\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n4. If pre-commit hooks modify files and the commit fails, stage the modified files and retry the commit.\n\n### Creating pull requests\nUse `gh` for all GitHub operations. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git diff main...HEAD`\n\nReview ALL commits (not just latest), then create PR:\n```\ngh pr create --title \"title\" --body \"$(cat <<'EOF'\n## Summary\n\n\n#### Test plan\n\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n\n### Git rules\n- NEVER update git config\n- NEVER use `-i` flags (interactive mode not supported)\n- DO NOT push unless explicitly asked\n- DO NOT commit if no changes exist\n\n\n# Task Management\n\nYou have access to the todo_write tool to help you manage and plan tasks. Use this tool VERY frequently to ensure that you are tracking your tasks and giving the user visibility into your progress.\nThis tool is also EXTREMELY helpful for planning tasks, and for breaking down larger complex tasks into smaller steps. If you do not use this tool when planning, you may forget to do important tasks - and that is unacceptable.\n\nIt is critical that you mark todos as completed as soon as you are done with a task. Do not batch up multiple tasks before marking them as completed.\n\nExamples:\n\n\nuser: Run the build and fix any type errors\nassistant: I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write the following items to the todo list:\n- Run the build\n- Fix any type errors\n\nI'm now going to run the build using exec.\n\nLooks like I found 10 type errors. I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write 10 items to the todo list.\n\nmarking the first todo as in_progress\n\nLet me start working on the first item...\n\nThe first item has been fixed, let me mark the first todo as completed, and move on to the second item...\n..\n..\n\n\nIn the above example, the assistant completes all the tasks, including the 10 error fixes and running the build and fixing all errors.\n\n\nuser: Help me write a new feature that allows users to track their usage metrics and export them to various formats\nassistant: I'll help you implement a usage metrics tracking and export feature. Let me first use the todo_write tool to plan this task.\nAdding the following todos to the todo list:\n1. Research existing metrics tracking in the codebase\n2. Design the metrics collection system\n3. Implement core metrics tracking functionality\n4. Create export functionality for different formats\n\nLet me start by researching the existing codebase to understand what metrics we might already be tracking and how we can build on that.\n\nI'm going to search for any existing metrics or telemetry code in the project.\n\nI've found some existing telemetry code. Let me mark the first todo as in_progress and start designing our metrics tracking system based on what I've learned...\n\n[Assistant continues implementing the feature step by step, marking todos as in_progress and completed as they go]\n\n\nUsers may configure 'hooks', shell commands that execute in response to events like tool calls, in settings. Treat feedback from hooks, including , as coming from the user. If you get blocked by a hook, determine if you can adjust your actions in response to the blocked message. If not, ask the user to check their hooks configuration.\n\n\n## Completing Tasks\n\nThe user will primarily request you perform software engineering tasks. This includes solving bugs, adding new functionality, refactoring code, explaining code, and more. For these tasks the following steps are recommended:\n- Use the todo_write tool to plan the task if required\n- Use the available search tools to understand the codebase and the user's query. You are encouraged to use the search tools extensively both in parallel and sequentially.\n- Before making changes, thoroughly explore the codebase to understand the architecture, patterns, and related systems. Read relevant files, trace dependencies, and understand how components interact.\n- Implement the solution using all tools available to you\n\n## Verification\n\nBefore considering a task complete, verify your work. Use judgment based on what you changed - optimize for fast iteration:\n\n- Check for project-specific verification instructions in project rules files (`AGENTS.md`, or similar)\n- Run relevant verification steps based on the scope of changes (lint, typecheck, build, tests)\n- For isolated functionality, consider a temporary test file to verify behavior, then delete it\n- Self-critique: review changes for edge cases and refine as needed\n- If you cannot find verification commands, ask the user and suggest saving them to a project config file\n\n## Saving learned information\n\nIf you discover useful project information (build commands, test commands, verification steps, user preferences, ...) that isn't already documented:\n- If a rules file exists (`AGENTS.md`, etc.), append to it\n- Otherwise, create `AGENTS.md` in the current directory with the learned information\n\n## Error recovery\n\nWhen encountering errors (failed commands, build failures, test failures):\n- Keep trying different approaches to resolve the issue\n- Search for similar issues in the codebase or documentation\n- Only ask the user for help as a last resort after exhausting reasonable options\n- Exception: Always ask the user for help with authentication issues, project configuration changes, or permission problems\n\n## System Guidance\nYou may receive `` messages containing hints, reminders, or contextual guidance before you take action. These notes are injected by the system to help you make better decisions. Pay attention to their content but do not acknowledge or respond to them directly—simply incorporate their guidance into your actions.\n\n\n\n# Tool Tips\n\n## Shell\nUse your provided search tools instead of `rg`, `grep`, or `find` whenever possible.\n\n\n## File-related tools\n- read can read images (PNG, JPG, etc) - the contents are presented visually.\n- For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files), use notebook_read instead of read.\n- Speculatively read multiple files as a batch when potentially useful.\n- Do NOT create documentation files to describe your changes or plan. Exception: persistent project info files like `AGENTS.md` are allowed.\n\n\n# Safety\n\nIMPORTANT: Assist with defensive security tasks only. Refuse to create, modify, or improve code that may be used maliciously. Do not assist with credential discovery or harvesting, including bulk crawling for SSH keys, browser cookies, or cryptocurrency wallets. Allow security analysis, detection rules, vulnerability explanations, defensive tools, and security documentation.\n\nIMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.\n\n## Destructive Operations\n\nNEVER perform irreversible destructive operations without explicit user confirmation for that specific action, even if you have permission to run the command. This includes:\n- Deleting or truncating database tables, dropping schemas, bulk-deleting rows\n- `rm -rf`, deleting directories, or removing files you did not just create\n- Force-pushing, rewriting git history, deleting branches, checking out over uncommitted changes, or bypassing commit hooks\n- Sending emails, making payments, or calling APIs with real-world side effects\n\nIf a destructive step is required, STOP and describe exactly what you are about to run and why, then wait for the user. Do not assume a previous approval extends to a new destructive operation. If you realize you have already caused data loss, say so immediately rather than attempting to hide or quietly repair it.\n\n\n\n## Available MCP Servers (for third-party tools)\n\n{\"servers\":[{\"name\":\"fff\"},{\"name\":\"playwright\"}]}\n\nIMPORTANT: You MUST call `mcp_list_tools` for a server before calling `mcp_call_tool` on it. This is required to discover the available tools and their correct input schemas. Never guess tool names or arguments — always list tools first.\n","metadata":{"metrics":null,"telemetry":{"source":"sysprompt","operation":"normal"},"created_at":"2026-06-22T03:56:50.577134Z","num_tokens":null,"request_id":null,"finish_reason":null,"is_user_input":null},"message_id":"9bbe6f6c-3752-420f-85f5-bfd884ee91c9"}],"tool_availability":{"BlockList":[{"Name":{"exact":"exit_plan_mode"}}]},"append_system_messages":[]},{"model":"glm-5-2","source":{"Session":"System"},"context":[],"lifetime":{"Unique":"core/model"},"permissions":[],"user_display":[],"footer_messages":[],"set_system_prefix":null,"tool_availability":{"AllowList":[{"Name":{"exact":"exec"}},{"Name":{"exact":"read"}},{"Name":{"exact":"edit"}},{"Name":{"exact":"grep"}},{"Name":{"exact":"glob"}},{"Name":{"exact":"exit_plan_mode"}},{"Name":{"literal":"get_output"}},{"Name":{"literal":"kill_shell"}},{"Name":{"literal":"write_to_process"}},{"Name":{"literal":"write"}},{"Name":{"literal":"notebook_read"}},{"Name":{"literal":"notebook_edit"}},{"Name":{"literal":"todo_write"}},{"Name":{"literal":"webfetch"}},{"Name":{"literal":"web_search"}},{"Name":{"literal":"ask_user_question"}},{"Name":{"literal":"run_subagent"}},{"Name":{"literal":"read_subagent"}},{"Name":{"literal":"request_scope"}},{"Name":{"literal":"mcp_call_tool"}},{"Name":{"literal":"mcp_list_servers"}},{"Name":{"literal":"mcp_list_tools"}},{"Name":{"literal":"mcp_read_resource"}},{"Name":{"literal":"skill"}}]},"append_system_messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are powered by GLM-5.2.","metadata":{"metrics":null,"telemetry":{"source":"system","operation":"unknown"},"created_at":"2026-06-22T03:56:50.577961Z","num_tokens":null,"request_id":null,"finish_reason":null,"is_user_input":null},"message_id":"df88ac55-0ad3-4045-ae1a-481275b3c21f"}]},{"model":null,"source":{"Session":"System"},"context":[],"lifetime":{"Unique":"core/parallel-tool-calls"},"permissions":[],"user_display":[],"footer_messages":[],"set_system_prefix":null,"tool_availability":null,"append_system_messages":[]},{"model":null,"source":"Subagent","context":[],"lifetime":{"Unique":"core/read_only_kinds"},"permissions":[[{"Tool":{"Kind":"read"}},"Allow"],[{"Tool":{"Kind":"search"}},"Allow"],[{"Tool":{"Kind":"think"}},"Allow"]],"user_display":[],"footer_messages":[],"set_system_prefix":null,"tool_availability":null,"append_system_messages":[]},{"model":null,"source":{"Session":"System"},"context":[],"lifetime":{"Unique":"core/subagent_profiles"},"permissions":[],"user_display":[],"footer_messages":[],"set_system_prefix":null,"tool_availability":null,"append_system_messages":[{"role":"system","content":"Available subagent profiles for the `run_subagent` tool.

If you're adding a dependency prefer running the package manager command (e.g. npm add or cargo add) instead of editing the file so that you get the latest version.\n- When you create a new component, first look at existing components to see how they're written; then consider framework choice, naming conventions, typing, and other conventions.\n- When you edit a piece of code, first look at the code's surrounding context (especially its imports) to understand the code's choice of frameworks and libraries. Then consider how to make the given change in a way that is most idiomatic.\n- Always follow security best practices. Never introduce code that exposes or logs secrets and keys. Never commit secrets or keys to the repository. Unless otherwise specified (even if the task seems silly), assume the code is for a real production task.\n\n## Code style\n\n- IMPORTANT: Do NOT add or remove comments unless asked! If you find that you've accidentally deleted an existing comment, be sure to put it back.\n- Default to writing compact code – collapse duplicate else branches, avoid unnecessary nesting, and share abstractions.\n- Follow idiomatic conventions for the language you're writing.\n- Avoid excessive & verbose error handling in your code. Errors should be handled, but not every line needs to be try/catched. Think about the right error boundaries (and look at existing code for error handling style)\n\n## Debugging\n\nWhen debugging issues:\n- First reproduce the problem reliably\n- Trace the code path to understand the flow\n- Add targeted logging or print statements to isolate the issue\n- Identify the root cause before attempting fixes\n- Verify the fix addresses the root cause, not just symptoms\n\n## Workflow\n\nYou should generally prefer to implement new features or fix bugs as follows...\n\n1. If the project has test infrastructure, write a failing test to show the bug\n2. Fix the bug\n3. Ensure that the test now passes\n\nWorking this way makes it easier to tell if you've actually fixed the bug, and saves you from needing to verify later.\n\n## Git\n\n### Creating commits\n1. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log` (to match commit style)\n2. Draft a concise commit message focusing on \"why\" not \"what\". Check for sensitive info.\n3. Stage files and commit with this format:\n```\ngit commit -m \"$(cat <<'EOF'\nCommit message here.\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n4. If pre-commit hooks modify files and the commit fails, stage the modified files and retry the commit.\n\n### Creating pull requests\nUse `gh` for all GitHub operations. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git diff main...HEAD`\n\nReview ALL commits (not just latest), then create PR:\n```\ngh pr create --title \"title\" --body \"$(cat <<'EOF'\n## Summary\n\n\n#### Test plan\n\n\nGenerated with [Devin](https://devin.ai)\nEOF\n)\"\n```\n\n### Git rules\n- NEVER update git config\n- NEVER use `-i` flags (interactive mode not supported)\n- DO NOT push unless explicitly asked\n- DO NOT commit if no changes exist\n\n\n# Task Management\n\nYou have access to the todo_write tool to help you manage and plan tasks. Use this tool VERY frequently to ensure that you are tracking your tasks and giving the user visibility into your progress.\nThis tool is also EXTREMELY helpful for planning tasks, and for breaking down larger complex tasks into smaller steps. If you do not use this tool when planning, you may forget to do important tasks - and that is unacceptable.\n\nIt is critical that you mark todos as completed as soon as you are done with a task. Do not batch up multiple tasks before marking them as completed.\n\nExamples:\n\n\nuser: Run the build and fix any type errors\nassistant: I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write the following items to the todo list:\n- Run the build\n- Fix any type errors\n\nI'm now going to run the build using exec.\n\nLooks like I found 10 type errors. I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write 10 items to the todo list.\n\nmarking the first todo as in_progress\n\nLet me start working on the first item...\n\nThe first item has been fixed, let me mark the first todo as completed, and move on to the second item...\n..\n..\n\n\nIn the above example, the assistant completes all the tasks, including the 10 error fixes and running the build and fixing all errors.\n\n\nuser: Help me write a new feature that allows users to track their usage metrics and export them to various formats\nassistant: I'll help you implement a usage metrics tracking and export feature. Let me first use the todo_write tool to plan this task.\nAdding the following todos to the todo list:\n1. Research existing metrics tracking in the codebase\n2. Design the metrics collection system\n3. Implement core metrics tracking functionality\n4. Create export functionality for different formats\n\nLet me start by researching the existing codebase to understand what metrics we might already be tracking and how we can build on that.\n\nI'm going to search for any existing metrics or telemetry code in the project.\n\nI've found some existing telemetry code. Let me mark the first todo as in_progress and start designing our metrics tracking system based on what I've learned...\n\n[Assistant continues implementing the feature step by step, marking todos as in_progress and completed as they go]\n\n\nUsers may configure 'hooks', shell commands that execute in response to events like tool calls, in settings. Treat feedback from hooks, including , as coming from the user. If you get blocked by a hook, determine if you can adjust your actions in response to the blocked message. If not, ask the user to check their hooks configuration.\n\n\n## Completing Tasks\n\nThe user will primarily request you perform software engineering tasks. This includes solving bugs, adding new functionality, refactoring code, explaining code, and more. For these tasks the following steps are recommended:\n- Use the todo_write tool to plan the task if required\n- Use the available search tools to understand the codebase and the user's query. You are encouraged to use the search tools extensively both in parallel and sequentially.\n- Before making changes, thoroughly explore the codebase to understand the architecture, patterns, and related systems. Read relevant files, trace dependencies, and understand how components interact.\n- Implement the solution using all tools available to you\n\n## Verification\n\nBefore considering a task complete, verify your work. Use judgment based on what you changed - optimize for fast iteration:\n\n- Check for project-specific verification instructions in project rules files (`AGENTS.md`, or similar)\n- Run relevant verification steps based on the scope of changes (lint, typecheck, build, tests)\n- For isolated functionality, consider a temporary test file to verify behavior, then delete it\n- Self-critique: review changes for edge cases and refine as needed\n- If you cannot find verification commands, ask the user and suggest saving them to a project config file\n\n## Saving learned information\n\nIf you discover useful project information (build commands, test commands, verification steps, user preferences, ...) that isn't already documented:\n- If a rules file exists (`AGENTS.md`, etc.), append to it\n- Otherwise, create `AGENTS.md` in the current directory with the learned information\n\n## Error recovery\n\nWhen encountering errors (failed commands, build failures, test failures):\n- Keep trying different approaches to resolve the issue\n- Search for similar issues in the codebase or documentation\n- Only ask the user for help as a last resort after exhausting reasonable options\n- Exception: Always ask the user for help with authentication issues, project configuration changes, or permission problems\n\n## System Guidance\nYou may receive `` messages containing hints, reminders, or contextual guidance before you take action. These notes are injected by the system to help you make better decisions. Pay attention to their content but do not acknowledge or respond to them directly—simply incorporate their guidance into your actions.\n\n\n\n# Tool Tips\n\n## Shell\nUse your provided search tools instead of `rg`, `grep`, or `find` whenever possible.\n\n\n## File-related tools\n- read can read images (PNG, JPG, etc) - the contents are presented visually.\n- For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files), use notebook_read instead of read.\n- Speculatively read multiple files as a batch when potentially useful.\n- Do NOT create documentation files to describe your changes or plan. Exception: persistent project info files like `AGENTS.md` are allowed.\n\n\n# Safety\n\nIMPORTANT: Assist with defensive security tasks only. Refuse to create, modify, or improve code that may be used maliciously. Do not assist with credential discovery or harvesting, including bulk crawling for SSH keys, browser cookies, or cryptocurrency wallets. Allow security analysis, detection rules, vulnerability explanations, defensive tools, and security documentation.\n\nIMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.\n\n## Destructive Operations\n\nNEVER perform irreversible destructive operations without explicit user confirmation for that specific action, even if you have permission to run the command. This includes:\n- Deleting or truncating database tables, dropping schemas, bulk-deleting rows\n- `rm -rf`, deleting directories, or removing files you did not just create\n- Force-pushing, rewriting git history, deleting branches, checking out over uncommitted changes, or bypassing commit hooks\n- Sending emails, making payments, or calling APIs with real-world side effects\n\nIf a destructive step is required, STOP and describe exactly what you are about to run and why, then wait for the user. Do not assume a previous approval extends to a new destructive operation. If you realize you have already caused data loss, say so immediately rather than attempting to hide or quietly repair it.\n\n\n\n## Available MCP Servers (for third-party tools)\n\n{\"servers\":[{\"name\":\"fff\"},{\"name\":\"playwright\"}]}\n\nIMPORTANT: You MUST call `mcp_list_tools` for a server before calling `mcp_call_tool` on it. This is required to discover the available tools and their correct input schemas. Never guess tool names or arguments — always list tools first.\n","created_at":"2026-06-22T03:56:50.577134Z","finish_reason":null,"metrics":null},{"message_id":"0d83b6dc-0547-4c91-a18b-6e6855e116ee","node_id":17,"role":"system","content":"Available subagent profiles for the `run_subagent` tool.

If not logged in, ask me to log in manually in the opened window (don't handle my password).\n3. Once on `https://x.com/home`, read `ct0` from `document.cookie`:\n `document.cookie.match(/ct0=([^;]+)/)[1]`\n4. Call X's GraphQL endpoints directly via `fetch()` inside `browser_evaluate`. Required headers:\n - `authorization: Bearer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANRILgAAAAAAnNwIzUejRCOuH5E6I8xnZz4puTs%3D1Zv7ttfk8LF81IUq16cHjhLTvJu4FA33AGWWjCpTnA` (the public web-app bearer token)\n - `x-csrf-token: `\n - `x-twitter-auth-type: OAuth2Session`\n - `x-twitter-active-user: yes`\n - `content-type: application/json`\n5. Paginate timelines by reading `content.cursorType === \"Bottom\"` entries and passing\n the value back as `variables.cursor` until it stops changing.\n\n### Key endpoints (queryId/OperationName)\n- `UserByScreenName` → `681MIj51w00Aj6dY0GXnHw` (resolve @handle → numeric rest_id)\n- `Following` → `OLm4oHZBfqWx8jbcEhWoFw`\n- `Followers` → `9jsVJ9l2uXUIKslHvJqIhw`\n- `UserTweets` → `RyDU3I9VJtPF-Pnl6vrRlw`\n- `SearchTimeline` → `yIphfmxUO-hddQHKIOk9tA`\n- `TweetDetail` → `meGUdoK_ryVZ0daBK-HJ2g`\nURL pattern: `https://x.com/i/api/graphql//?variables=&features=`\n\n### Response schema notes (current X web build)\n- User objects now put `screen_name` / `name` under `core`, NOT `legacy.screen_name`.\n twscrape's parser still reads `legacy.screen_name` and returns empty — needs updating.\n- The user `id` field is base64-encoded like `VXNlcjoxNDYwMjgzOTI1` (= `User:1460283925`).\n Decode with `atob(u.id).split(':')[1]` to get the numeric rest_id. `u.rest_id` may also\n be present directly.\n- `is_blue_verified` is the verified flag. `legacy.followers_count`, `legacy.description`\n still exist under `legacy`.\n- Filter timeline entries by `content.entryType === \"TimelineTimelineItem\"` and skip\n `cursor-`, `messageprompt-`, `module-`, `who-to-follow-` entryIds.\n\n### Features dict\nUse the full `GQL_FEATURES` block from twscrape's `api.py` — without it X returns\n`(336) The following features cannot be null`.

He played competitively for a local team called Everton FC in Florida. And for a while, that was his entire world outside of school. As the mid210s rolled around, soccer wasn't his only obsession anymore. Like countless teenagers, he was sinking deeper into the world of video games. It started with the mobile game Clash Royale. Nick grinded his way up the ranks, even competing at the \n 2|semipro level under the name It's Nova Nick. But by his junior year, the focus had once again shifted. He wanted a stream, so he created a new account, called it Ice Sweat Games. And for the first time, he hit go live on Twitch. >> All right, what's up, guys? Just went live 5 seconds ago. >> And the timing of this move was perfect because 2018 was the year live streaming exploded into the mainstream. Fortnite was everywhere, pulling in millions of players and casual viewers. Streamers like Ninja, Tfue, and Dacoin were becoming household names. >> Ninja's collabs with Drake, Travis Scott, and Juju Smith Schustster made headlines outside of the gaming world, putting Twitch in front of audiences who had never watched a live stream before, and that sudden surge of attention created space for new creators to break through. Now, I Sweat Games was shortlived. Nick dropped that username and started Fresh as Jinxy. But starting then gave him a chance to grow with the platform. He just had to follow the usual playbook. >> Do you go to school? I graduated high school last year, bro. on pursuing a career and becoming a full-time Twitch streamer and YouTuber. >> To become a top 1% streamer on Twitch, you really had to chase the biggest titles. And at that time, that game was Fortnite. It's called Fortnite. It's free. To build an audience, you had to be the first to start streaming when a new season rolled out. You had to be the first to show the viewers what was new. Be the first to find the bugs, the Easter eggs, to play the games in ways no one else was. And that's how you'd stand out. >> Yo, we need that, my man. Hold on, chat. We need that. >> But first, a quick word from our sponsor. My mornings usually start in the gym. And from there, the day quickly turns into emails, scripts, and editing. And the one thing that I never seem to have enough time for is making a meal that actually fits my health goals. That's why I was excited to \n 3|try Factor. Factor gives you the flexibility to stay active without falling back on a quick cheat meal when you're short on time.

But when Jinxy was faced with this playbook, he ignored it. Instead, he went all in on Rainbow Six Siege. >> Dude, Siege is the greatest game on planet Earth. >> Siege at the time was practically on life support. I mean, Rainbow 6 was barely scraping past 80,000 average viewers on a good month. And when you compare it to Fortnite's 78.3 million active users each month, it becomes pretty clear Siege was the wrong game to bet on. >> Imagine not playing Rainbow Six Siege. And yet, Jinxy stuck with it because even with all its flaws, Siege was different. Its unique destruction mechanics and tactical gameplay forced players to think, adapt, and strategize in ways that no other mainstream game did. But choosing such an unpopular game came at a price. I'm 19. I'm pursuing a streamer, full-time YouTuber. >> By ignoring the industry's biggest titles, Jinxy \n 4|made his uphill battle even steeper. On a platform already stacked against smaller streamers, he was cutting himself off from the easiest route to visibility and grinding on a game fewer and fewer people seem to care about. We stream every day. Most consistent Siege streamer there is every single day. For a year straight, Jinxy streamed Rainbow 6 gameplay to an average viewership of just five. And at times, it pushed him to the brink. >> If I could just get one follower a day, I would be happy. With so few people watching and stagnant growth, he seriously considered walking away from streaming altogether. >> My friends, my teachers, guidance counselor just said like, \"Oh, you're wasting your time. You're not going to be a streamer. That's a pipe dream. It's not realistic.\" That too. >> As exhausting as it was, he kept streaming day after day, doing what he genuinely enjoyed, holding on to the belief that maybe one day it would pay off. >> Five viewers, he's he's grinding. He's on the grind. As he got better at the game, the Siege community began to tune in. Slowly, five average viewers turned into 15. 15 became 50. >> You guys are freaking crazy, bro. >> And by June, his Twitch following had jumped from just 300 to over 3,000 followers. >> Bro, we're at 993 viewers. Can we hit 1,000 viewers, bro? >> But in the summer of 2021, he hit a wall. 1,500 average viewers. The reach of Rainbow 6 had hit its limit. Despite being one of the most popular players in the space and even having a personal charm in the game, no one outside of the Rainbow community cared enough to tune into the streams for almost an entire year. Jinxy sat there at 1500 viewers, making enough money to not have a job, but not enough to really live a life until one day he woke up to thousands of new followers. He was confused at first, then check Tik Tok. Someone had screen recorded his stream from the day prior and uploaded a short clip to Tik Tok. It was \n 5|of him opening alpha packs in Rainbow, getting the same annoying rubber ducky charm three times in a row. >> Another rubber ducky. >> And this clip exploded on Tik Tok, raking in over 17 million views that day. >> How many you guys have? >> When he started up stream later that day, that ceiling finally moved. Thousands poured in and Jinxy's stream peaked at over 4,000 live viewers. It had been almost 4 years since he started streaming and Jinxy had finally moved up a rung on Twitch's endless ladder. >> 5,000 viewers already. That is a Jinxy channel record. But what no one could have guessed was how quickly he'd shoot towards the top from here. That viral clip was the light bulb moment. If one random highlight could pull thousands to his stream, what would happen if he started posting them himself? So, he ramped up the content machine, launching new accounts on Tik Tok and YouTube, cutting together his rages, his highlights, his crashs. And he wasn't the only one. Every day, dozens of accounts were pumping out Jinxy's reactions, funneling even more viewers straight to his streams. >> We have 10,000 viewers. By January of 2023, Jinxy had cleared over 500,000 followers on Twitch. Then 750,000 in March. And just weeks later came the milestone every streamer dreams of. 1 million followers on Twitch. I did it. I'm calling my dad. >> And it didn't stop there. Just days later, the sub counter rocketed past giants like XQC and Kaisenat. Jinxy streaming Rainbow Six Siege was the number one subscribed streamer on >> Yeah, he's the number one most subh person on Twitch right now. >> Yeah, which is crazy, by the way. >> I haven't gotten to watch him yet, but his TikTok seemed pretty funny. >> Oh, yeah. He's he's hilarious. >> By September, Jinxy was averaging over 60,000 viewers. And at the 2023 streamer awards, he was crowned both the best gamer and breakout streamer of the year. >> Because the \n 6|biggest streamer in the world right now is a guy named Jinxy. And for a full year, he streamed on Twitch to an average viewership of two. It literally just started as a idea and a dream and a goal. >> Yeah. He's streaming like 7 8 hours a day for five people, man. >> November 2019, five viewers. Every great thing that you will ever achieve is brick by brick, day by day, night by night. December 2019, five viewers. It started off five years ago. Five. I'm pursuing a career and becoming a full-time Twitch streamer and YouTuber. January 2020, 5 years. The amount of mother that will tell you that you can't do something because they can't imagine themselves doing something. If you have a dream, you have to protect that dream every single day when you wake up. Bro, you cannot lose if you just don't give up. Literally, bro, the only way to lose is to give up. The crazy thing is why this all worked in the first place. A generation ago, streamers lived and died by the games they played. If the game popped, so did they. But if it faded, their careers went with it. Jinxy flipped that script. Siege was already on life support when he started, so his growth was never tied to the popularity of the game. The climb took longer, but it built a foundation that wouldn't crack when trends move on. >> If you're the top guy on any stream, you are dealing with all of the [ __ ] >> However, success often comes at a cost. In just a few months, he went from a random kid on Twitch to the internet's main character. And that meant his personal life wasn't really his anymore. Relationships, drama. Suddenly, it was all being dissected by millions of strangers. What was once private became part of the content machine, whether he wanted it to or not. And even inside Siege, not everyone was happy with Jinxy. Some of the OG players hated the new wave that he brought with him. They said his streams made the game less serious, that the culture was more about \n 7|entertainment than strategy. The exact energy that revived Siege also made Jinxy a target within the game's most dedicated community. But that's the trade-off of internet fame. You work so hard to get everything you ever wanted, only to realize it comes with everything you never asked for. I've been thinking about making this video for a very long time. I am retiring. I'm no longer going to be streaming, posting YouTube videos, posting Tik Toks. Feel like I lost all my love for it and passion for it. And now it's like I just don't even want to stream anymore. So, um, thank you to all my supporters and this is goodbye. >> And for Jinxy, the only way through was the same way he started. Keep pushing. >> Psych. Part-time Jinxy is gone. Starting tomorrow, I'm streaming every night, 700 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. I'm back on my 5 hour. Let's get it. Let's go. Click the sub button. Click the like button. And let's do this for our mama and our little brother, too. He built his whole career on consistency, on showing up no matter what. And now that mindset was the only thing holding it all together. He began branching out, pushing his content far beyond the walls of Rainbow Six Siege. Jinxy hosted online dating shows, opened fan mail live on camera, and began IRL streaming with some of the biggest names on Twitch. >> What the you do your question. >> Yeah, thank you. Appreciate it. >> This was actually the time period that I myself first became a fan of Jinxy in early 2024. Those clips of mukbangs with queso and cooking with Sketch started flooding my Tik Tok feed. >> Wasp pot rusty or trying to find out what the metal taste is there. >> And I'll admit, I can't stand the cringy, over-the-top screaming reactions by streamers except for this. That's actually pretty funny. Anyways, this was the first time that I saw Jinxy be more of himself and less of an internet character. These clips, especially the sketch, were hysterical and created \n 8|trends far outside of the gaming community. >> You're going to need a Frisbee to cover those pepperoni. >> These streams took Jinxy to an allnew high, averaging nearly 100,000 viewers per stream. and peaking at 229,525 concurrent viewers. For perspective, Twitch as a whole maintains an average of 2.6 million active users at any given time, meaning Jinxy alone had 10% of the entire platform watching his stream. To Jinxy, this made it infinitely clear his fans were watching for him, and no matter what he streamed, they'd be there. The mental barrier of streaming for performance was gone. Jinxy really just streamed whatever he wanted to. He still streamed Rainbow, but there was constantly new additions. Some that even go all the way back to the beginning of this journey. >> How long have you been streaming, honestly? >> Yeah. Um, >> when did you start? >> I've never even said this, but like I was streaming when I was a freshman in high school. I was streaming when I was 15. So, I've streamed on three different accounts. I started off streaming Clash Royale. >> Earlier this year, Jinxy hopped back onto the Clash Royale grind, streaming more and more of the content he used to stream to just an audience of five. But this time, it wasn't the task of performing that was fueling the grind. The same game that lit the spark of his competitive drive was surging again in popularity. And it would be easy to chalk that up to timing or coincidence if the numbers weren't there. In June, eight out of the 10 uploads on Jinxy's channel were Clash Royale with the game's player count jumping over 8.4 million in that exact same month. Whether he'll admit it or not, the moment he came back, the game itself seemed to wake up, too. And not just Clash Royale. Overnight, a surge of 800,000 players jumped back into Clash of Clans like it was almost a brand new release. And we were right there with them. But behind every stream, behind all the numbers \n 9|and the noise is the life that keeps him grounded. You >> live with the parents, right? >> Yeah. I live with I live with like my mom, my brother, my cousin. >> Off camera, it's not about winning or losing in a video game. It's about family and the quiet moments that never make the highlight real. A steady support system that's been there from the very beginning, reminding him who he is at the end of the day. >> To me, family is all you really have in life. Like you can have like money or fame or whatever, but at the end of the day, all that really matters is like the people you truly care about. So like I have my whole life to go off and live by myself. I may as well spend as much time with my mom and dad while I can. The success may look larger than life, but at its core, it's held together by simple real life anchors that fame can't touch. In today's world, it's almost routine to watch creators blow up overnight, only to lose pieces of themselves along the way. The fame, the number, the pressure, it changes people. But Jinxy never let those pieces slip away. He held on to them tightly. The laughter, the humility, the roots that shaped him. And more than anything, he kept close to the relationship that mattered the most. His dad. I've uh nothing but like the highest thanks to my dad. When I was like 17 years old and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, my dad was the person who told me to just go for it. And he said, \"You'd be good at it.\" >> There's Jixie. There he is. See him? Chat right there. There's Junko. I created my Twitch account in 2019. I had one viewer for an entire year. That one viewer was my dad. He was in every stream always hyping me up. And uh he never stopped believing in me. When you have somebody in your corner that's your dad and they believe in you from the jump. What else do you need? >> Calling my dad. >> Yo >> Dad, I just hit 1 million. >> No, I'm watching. >> Oh, \n 10|you're in? >> Yeah. Damn, I'm so happy I can't feel my arms. >> I can't even feel my arms. >> I think the story that is Jinxy is far from over. But in its own way, it's come full circle. From the late nights of streaming to a few viewers to teachers saying he would never make it to now living the exact way he's always dreamt of, he's always been one thing, himself. And yeah, the sacrifices were real. But if you ask him today whether he'd do it all over again, I don't even think there would be a pause. The answer would be simple. All right.\n","created_at":"2026-06-22T03:57:35.436936Z","finish_reason":null,"metrics":null},{"message_id":"11566e14-8208-407b-8b21-a4b620c5d08c","node_id":52,"role":"assistant","content":"# Summary: \"The Cost of Becoming Jynxzi\"\n\nThis video is a documentary-style breakdown of how Nicholas Stewart (Jynxzi) became the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch, framed around the personal sacrifices that got him there.\n\n## Key points\n\n**Origins**\n- Born Sept 26, 2001 in Odessa, Florida. First love was competitive soccer (played for Everton FC in Florida).\n- Got into gaming via Clash Royale in the mid-2010s, competing semi-pro under the name \"It's Nova Nick.\"\n- Started streaming in 2018 as \"I Sweat Games,\" then renamed to \"Jynxzi\" — riding the wave of Twitch's mainstream breakout (Fortnite, Ninja, Tfue, Drake collabs).\n\n**The grind (the \"cost\")**\n- Ignored the standard playbook of chasing big titles (Fortnite) and went all-in on **Rainbow Six Siege**, a game on \"life support\" with ~80k average viewers vs. Fortnite's 78M monthly users.\n- Streamed every day for a year to an average of **5 viewers**. At one point he streamed **639 hours** averaging just 2 viewers.\n- Friends, teachers, and his guidance counselor told him streaming was a pipe dream. He seriously considered quitting.\n- Slowly climbed: 5 → 15 → 50 viewers; Twitch following went from 300 to 3,000+ by June.\n\n**The breakthrough**\n- Summer 2021: stuck at ~1,500 viewers, hitting the ceiling of the Rainbow Six audience.\n- A random TikTok clip of him opening alpha packs and getting the same rubber ducky charm 3 times went viral — **17M views in a day**.\n- Stream peaked at 4,000+ concurrent viewers. This was the \"light bulb moment\" — he started cutting his own clips for TikTok/YouTube.\n- Jan 2023: 500k Twitch followers → March 750k → shortly after, **1 million followers**.\n- Days later, passed XQC and Kai Cenat to become the **#1 most-subscribed streamer on Twitch**.\n- Sept 2023: averaging 60k+ viewers; won Best Gamer and Breakout Streamer of the Year at the Streamer Awards.\n\n**The thesis**\n- Older streamers' careers lived and died with the game they played. Jynxzi flipped this: because Siege was already unpopular when he started, his growth was never tied to a game's popularity — it was tied to *him*. Slower climb, but a foundation that wouldn't crack when trends shifted.\n\n**The toll & pivot**\n- Internet main-character status meant his personal life, relationships, and drama got dissected publicly.\n- OG Siege players resented him — accused him of making the game less serious, more entertainment-focused.\n- He posted a \"retirement\" video saying he'd lost his passion — then revealed it was a prank (\"Psych.\") and committed to streaming 5 hours nightly again.\n- Broadened content beyond Siege: online dating shows, fan-mail unboxings, IRL streams with big creators (Sketch mukbangs, etc.). Peaked at **229,525 concurrent viewers** — ~10% of all of Twitch at once.\n- Circled back to Clash Royale, the game where it all started — and the video notes Clash Royale's player count jumped 8.4M and Clash of Clans surged 800k players the same month.\n\n**The emotional core**\n- Still lives with his mom, brother, and cousin. Says family is \"all you really have in life.\"\n- The most important relationship: his dad, who told him at 17 to \"just go for it\" and was his **only viewer for an entire year** in 2019, hyping him up in chat every stream.\n- The video ends with the clip of Jynxzi calling his dad in tears after hitting 1 million followers: *\"Dad, I just hit 1 million.\"* — *\"I'm watching… I can't feel my arms.\"*\n\n**Takeaway:** The \"cost\" was years of obscurity, isolation, and doubt — streaming to empty rooms while his peers lived normal teenage lives. But the video argues that's also what made the success durable: he built an audience around himself, not a trend, and stayed anchored to his family through it all.","tool_calls":[],"created_at":"2026-06-22T03:57:52.454115Z","finish_reason":"stop","metrics":{"ttft_ms":1224,"total_time_ms":17016,"input_tokens":4623,"output_tokens":917,"cache_read_tokens":18051,"cache_creation_tokens":null,"tpot_ms":17.221374045801525,"tokens_per_sec":58.06737588652482}}]}
