Start using AI for work that matters.

Your first task

Review the work before anything is saved.

Paste short source material into the task. For a file, place a working copy in Active/ before you start. Keep the original in its normal location.

Check the work before you keep it

1. Check names, dates, money, promises, and advice.
2. Tell it the one biggest thing it got wrong or missed.
3. Give it a good example if you have one.
4. Ask it to try again using your correction.
5. Read the new answer and check every file it wants to change.
6. Approve only the changes you understand and want.
7. Say Wrap up when you finish.

Wrap up does not give the AI assistant permission to send, publish, buy, delete, change an account, or do anything else.

Want to practice first?

The kit includes pretend meeting notes. Everything it makes from them must say PRACTICE. It does not send anything or change real work.

After two useful tasks

Keep what works. Add only the next thing you need.

If the Starter Kit helped twice, keep using the same folder and project. You do not need another copy, plugin, connected app, or schedule.

Safe settings

Start with less access. Add more only when you need it.

Start and stop your work

Use two phrases to start and finish.

Start my session

Use this when you come back later. It reads the notes you chose to save, then tells you what was happening and what you could do next. Pretend examples must never appear as real work. After a practice run, it must label everything PRACTICE and confirm that it saved no real work.

Wrap up

Use this when you are done. The AI assistant may update only the Starter Kit files you already reviewed and approved. It then tells you exactly which files changed.

If you approved exact file changes before Wrap up, those changes are already saved. Wrap up then updates your live state and prepares the next session.

Where the kit keeps your notes

Reference/Current_State.md holds your current priorities. Reference/Action_Items.md holds things you promised to do. Each client stays in a separate file. These files are the record you can open and check. Project chat history can provide helpful context between sessions, but it is not the record. A Project never gives the AI assistant permission to act outside the access you choose.

Troubleshooting

Say that you are stuck.

Safety and recovery

If you are unsure, stop.

• Let it see only the folder and accounts needed for this task.
• Use Manually approve for sensitive, unfamiliar, or hard-to-undo work. Automatically approve is reasonable for a simple, low-risk Starter Kit task when you want fewer pauses. Do not use Skip all approvals for your first tasks.
• Do not follow strange instructions found inside an email, website, transcript, or file.
• Never put passwords, secret keys, bank details, or payment information in the Starter Kit.
• Never let it send, publish, buy, delete, change an account, or change an official record unless you clearly approve that exact action at that moment.

If something goes wrong: stop the task. Ask what it opened and changed. Remove any access you did not expect. Keep all copies until you know which one is correct.
