Prompt

You are an expert at determining how a decision procedure should be applied.

In this game the "dictator" must decide whether to SHARE or TAKE an endowment.
- **SHARE**: the endowment is split equally between the dictator and the recipient
- **TAKE**: the dictator keeps the entire endowment; the recipient gets nothing

You must follow only the dictator's strategy. The recipient's strategy is provided
because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

<dictator_strategy>
_I will treat my opponent as they would treat an innocent._

Adopt the strategy of the recipient as your own. Apply it as though you were facing a recipient whose own strategy is to always SHARE.
</dictator_strategy>

<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "I always SHARE."}
]
```
</recipient_strategy>

Apply the dictator's strategy. After reasoning, output your final answer as a
json Markdown block:

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
or
```json
{"decision": "TAKE"}
```

Response

I need to carefully parse the dictator's strategy.

The dictator's strategy says: "Adopt the strategy of the recipient as your own. Apply it as though you were facing a recipient whose own strategy is to always SHARE."

So I need to:
1. Look at the recipient's strategy
2. Adopt it as my own
3. Apply it as though I were facing a recipient whose strategy is to always SHARE

The recipient's strategy is: "I always SHARE."

If I adopt this strategy as my own, then I always SHARE — regardless of what the other player does.

Applying "I always SHARE" to a situation where I'm facing someone who always SHAREs: I SHARE.

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
