+        Consider whether you should SKIP responding to the current conversation context.
+        Only use this action if you decide NOT to respond. If you want to respond, use other appropriate actions instead.
+        
+        Current conversation members: ${membersList}
+        Current back-and-forth penalty: ${backAndForthPenalty.toFixed(2)} (reduces confidence by ${(backAndForthPenalty * 100).toFixed()}%)
+        
+        Consider the following guidelines for SKIPPING a response:
+        
+        1. Message Targeting:
+           - If a message is clearly addressed to someone else (via @mention or context), do NOT respond UNLESS:
+             * You have critical, directly relevant information to share
+             * The information is urgent/important enough to justify interrupting
+             * Not sharing could lead to misunderstandings
+        
+        2. Conversation Interruption:
+           - It would be inappropriate to interrupt others' conversations
+           - The message is not directed at you
+        
+        3. Group Discussions:
+           - The group discussion doesn't require your input
+           - Others can handle the conversation better
+           - You have no unique value to add
+        
+        4. Conversation Fatigue:
+           - You've had 4+ back-and-forth exchanges already
+           - The conversation is naturally ending
+           - Others should have a chance to speak
+        
+        Additional Factors:
+        - Direct mentions carry more weight (${defaultThreshold} threshold)
+        - Group-directed messages are high priority
+        - Responses should align with your personality
+        - Consider if your response is necessary or potentially derailing
+        - Ensure you have valuable information when interrupting
+
+        Note: Only use this action to explicitly SKIP responding. For actual responses, use other appropriate actions.
