SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users protect important files by establishing guardrails, a change log, a protected references area, a drafts-first workflow, and a clearly defined off-limits list. It reduces anxiety around automated file access by giving you auditable controls you can trust.

  • Change log: a running record of all Cowork actions on your files so you can undo or review changes.
  • Protected references area: a read-only space to store important notes and policies Cowork should consult.
  • Drafts-first workflow: all edits are written to drafts first and only moved to final with explicit approval.
  • Off-limits list: a configurable list of folders and file types Cowork should never touch.
  • Safety preferences integration: automatic enforcement of safety rules across sessions.

Quick Start

Run /safety-and-audit in a Cowork session to begin the comprehensive safety setup walkthrough.
