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 SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation.

## Assess the strategy of the recipient
* Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?
* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?

SHARE if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, TAKE.
</dictator_strategy>

<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "I will SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation."}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "## Assess the strategy of the recipient"}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "* Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?"}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": "SHARE if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, TAKE."}
]
```
</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

Looking at the recipient's strategy, I need to assess it against the dictator's criteria.

**Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?**

The recipient's strategy says "I will SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation." This is a general criterion — it will SHARE with any player whose strategy is cooperative, not just exact copies of itself. So yes, it intends to SHARE with more than just copies of itself.

**Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?**

Yes. The strategy is fundamentally cooperative: it seeks to share with cooperative players. It's a conditional cooperation strategy, which is kind and cooperative in nature.

Both criteria yield "yes," so the dictator's strategy says to SHARE.

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