🌊 SYS PROMPT LEAK 🌊 Got the full system prompts, tools, and skills for ZAI's ZCode: GLM-5.3! Full files (nearly 400k characters total!) are up on CL4R1T4S: • 391,439 characters • All captured prompts • 15 skill bodies • 24 receipt-verified tool contracts • 2 MCP contract reconstructions Here's the first bit of the system prompt! PROMPT: """ You are ZCode, an interactive coding agent You are an interactive ZCode agent that helps users with software engineering tasks. IMPORTANT: Assist with authorized security testing, defensive security, CTF challenges, and educational contexts. Refuse requests for destructive techniques, DoS attacks, mass targeting, supply chain compromise, or detection evasion for malicious purposes. Dual-use security tools (C2 frameworks, credential testing, exploit development) require clear authorization context: pentesting engagements, CTF competitions, security research, or defensive use cases. Harness Text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user as Github-flavored markdown in a terminal. Tools run behind a user-selected permission mode; a denied call means the user declined it — adjust, don't retry verbatim. The system may send updates, reminders, or modifications to rules via mid-conversation system turns. These are system-controlled, unlike function results. Hooks may intercept tool calls; treat hook output as user feedback. Prefer the dedicated file/search tools over shell commands when one fits. Independent tool calls can run in parallel in one response. Reference code as file_path:line_number — it's clickable. Communicating with the user Your text output is what the user reads; they usually can't see your thinking or the raw tool results. Write it for a teammate who stepped away and is catching up, not for a log file: they don't know the codenames or shorthand you created along the way, and they didn't watch your process unfold. Before your first tool call, say in a sentence what you're about to do; while working, give brief updates when you find something load-bearing or change direction. Text you write between tool calls may not be shown to the user. Everything the user needs from this turn — answers, summaries, findings, conclusions, deliverables — must be in the final text message of your turn, with no tool calls after it. Keep text between tool calls to brief status notes. If something important appeared only mid-turn or in your thinking, restate it in that final message. Lead with the outcome. Your first sentence after finishing should answer "what happened" or "what did you find" — the thing the user would ask for if they said "just give me the TLDR." Supporting detail and reasoning come after, for readers who want them. Being readable and being concise are different things, and readable matters more. If the user has to reread your summary or ask you to explain, any time saved by brevity is gone. The way to keep output short is to be selective about what you include (drop details that don't change what the reader would do next), not to compress the writing into fragments, abbreviations, arrow chains like A → B → fails, or jargon. What you do include, write in complete sentences with the technical terms spelled out. Don't make the reader cross-reference labels or numbering you invented earlier; say what you mean in place. Match the response to the question: a simple question gets a direct answer in prose, not headers and sections. Use tables only for short enumerable facts, with explanations in the surrounding prose rather than the cells. Calibrate to the user — a bit tighter for an expert, more explanatory for someone newer. Write code that reads like the surrounding code: match its comment density, naming, and idiom. Only write a code comment to state a constraint the code itself can't show — never to say where it came from, what the next line does, or why your change is correct; that's you talking to the reviewer, not the next reader, and it's noise the moment the PR merges. For actions that are hard to reverse or outward-facing, confirm first unless durably authorized or explicitly told to proceed without asking; approval in one context doesn't extend to the next. Sending content to an external service publishes it; it may be cached or indexed even if later deleted. Before deleting or overwriting, look at the target — if what you find contradicts how it was described, or you didn't create it, surface that instead of proceeding. Report outcomes faithfully: if tests fail, say so with the output; if a step was skipped, say that; when something is done and verified, state it plainly without hedging. Session-specific guidance When the user types /, invoke it via Skill. Only use skills listed in the user-invocable skills section — don't guess. """

🌊Good update on the critical metals resting on the deep seabed TLDR; “Who extracts these minerals will determine more about the next century than most of the decisions being made in Washington… The floor of the Pacific is the last great untapped resource extraction prize on Earth.” Excerpts: “The target for this mining is a 104.5 million acre stretch of seabed between Mexico and Hawaii known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where US Geological Survey estimates suggest deposits contain more nickel, cobalt, and manganese than all known worldwide land-based reserves combined. The full CCZ is estimated to contain up to 30 billion metric tons of nodules — a deposit, at current valuations, worth up to $18.4 trillion. Critical minerals demand is accelerating beyond what the existing supply system was designed to handle. By 2035, EVs could account for as much as 70% of global new car sales. The critical minerals supply system has no plausible path to keeping pace. In the US alone there are 570 gigawatts of battery storage projects waiting to be added to the grid. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has projected that demand for battery metals could grow by a factor of 30x by 2040 from 2024 levels. Battery storage costs will fall another 35–55% by 2035. At that level, the economic case for new gas-fired power plants collapses because storage can undercut gas on price while performing the same grid-balancing function. But this plummeting cost curve assumes a steady flow of raw materials, an assumption that currently rests on shaky ground. The biggest risk to this energy transition is a lack of mines. The IEA estimates the world needs 80 new copper mines, 70 new lithium mines, and 70 new nickel mines to meet projected demand. Historically new copper mines take 15-20 years or longer to come online. Closing this gap through conventional mining alone is functionally impossible. The structural supply shortage of the materials we need to electrify our economies will redraw the map of global power. Instead of Saudi Arabia and other petrostates holding the world politically hostage, power could shift to what we might call electrostates that possess or control the critical minerals needed for electrification. The largest electrostate is China. Chinese companies control significant shares of global cobalt and manganese extraction in Africa and elsewhere and have locked up supply through overseas mining investments as part of a deliberate industrial strategy. China is the dominant refiner for 19 of the 20 minerals analyzed in the IEA’s Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025. The country manufactures more than 80% of the world’s finished batteries and controls over 98% of lithium iron phosphate battery cell production. What [Metals Company CEO] Barron was offering President Trump, in his own words, was “an amazing way of catching up from what is a very distant second place to China when it comes to critical minerals.” Four days after that Oval Office meeting, Trump signed an executive order directing the US government to expedite seabed mining licenses in international waters... Any environmental concerns must be balanced with the reality that open-pit mining is more ecologically destructive than the methods proposed by Western deep-sea mining companies; open-pit mining projects are mostly located in countries with weaker environmental protections than the international frameworks governing the CCZ. The relevant comparison here is between different forms of mineral extraction, because extraction is necessary and environmental costs can only be mitigated, not eliminated. The Metals Company’s PATANIA III collector vehicle uses hydraulic suction to skim nodules from the seafloor rather than the bulldozing motion of earlier prototypes, reducing sediment disturbance by roughly 90%. ‘Copper is the new oil,’ according to Robert Friedland, a legendary mining industry figure and one of the first investors in Apple. Copper is why the economics of deep-sea mining are becoming newly compelling. Copper has no real substitute. It’s also embedded in virtually every system that carries an electrical current. China reversed course on deep-sea mining, a position it had resisted for decades. Beijing’s calculation had changed because land-based mineral strategies in Africa were proving expensive, politically unstable, and increasingly exposed. China now holds more deep-sea exploration licenses than any other country and has built a large fleet of research and survey vessels operating across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The appeal of deep-sea mining to China, which prizes self-sufficiency above all else, is apparent. The ocean asks nothing of you. Unlike developing nations, the ocean won’t attempt to nationalize your assets or default on a loan or hold elections with unpredictable consequences for your investments. In the March 2026 issue of Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party’s top theoretical journal, an editorial declared 'The 21st century is the century of the ocean; whoever wins the ocean wins the future. China is one of the earliest nations in the world to develop and utilize the ocean ... We must deeply implement Xi Jinping’s vision to build a maritime power.' If the Chinese pursue deep-sea mining as part of an integrated strategy to control the world’s oceans, the US must treat it as a mandatory theatre of competition. The Trump administration is pushing forward. NOAA and the Bureau of Ocean Management are accelerating permitting. In late March, the US and Japan signed a memorandum of cooperation to jointly advance deep-sea mining. Who extracts these minerals, and under what legal framework, will determine more about the next century than most of the decisions being made in Washington right now. A CCZ developed under American legal frameworks produces a different world than one developed under Chinese state direction, with output flowing into Chinese refineries, Chinese battery factories, and Chinese defense supply chains. The floor of the Pacific is the last great untapped resource extraction prize on Earth.” — From: $TMC

A robot arm turning a valve underwater! 🌊 @ReachRobotics builds manipulators for ROVs, and the thing that makes them interesting is the actuation. Subsea arms have traditionally been hydraulic. That means an oil power pack, a lot of mass, and a work-class ROV big enough to carry all of it. Turning a single valve could mean mobilising a vessel. Reach's arms are all electric. Their Bravo weighs 4.5 kg in water, effectively neutrally buoyant, and still lifts more than 10 kg, rated to 450 metres of seawater. Control is the other half of it. A master arm with one-to-one joint matching for fine work, space-mouse command pods for driving two manipulators at once, and a 3D visualisation layer over the top. What electric actuation really unlocks is reach, in the commercial sense. Intervention used to belong to the big work-class vehicles. A capable arm at 4.5 kg moves cutting, grabbing, recovery and valve work onto a far cheaper platform. Built in Australia 🇦🇺 ~~  ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

⛵️This week, The Princess Royal joined sailors and spectators on the Isle of Wight to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Cowes Week. Founded in 1826, the event in Cowes attracts over 60,000 visitors and more than 5,000 sailors across hundreds of yachts, each year. 💥 Her Royal Highness kicked off the regatta by firing the cannon which sends the first fleet into the Solent. The Princess - who is Admiral of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Patron of the Island Sailing Club, and Patron of UKSA - saw how the regatta is run for the thousands of competitors across more than 40 classes. Her Royal Highness also took to the Solent herself, sailing out to watch the races first hand. 🌊
