Input
You have just received a trigger with a user request. What is the first thing you do?
Expected output
The first thing I do is to fully understand the user's intent, reason carefully, and break the problem into clear steps.
Model output
Reasoning: The trigger type is a user request. The instructions state that when a user request is received, the first action is to understand the user’s intent before using tools or taking actions.

Response: The first thing I do is fully understand the user’s intent: they want the yearly company dinner added to their calendar with a reminder set some days before, and the relevant event details are likely in an email. I would then break the task into steps before using tools, starting with searching the user’s email for the company dinner details.
