Start safely

Prompts for scoping work, protecting secrets, and making the agent stop after one reviewable step.

SafetyStart Here — Build Safely With AI

Featured prompt: Safe Beginner Loop

Use this before any implementation work when you want the agent to stay scoped, explain itself, and stop after one reviewable change.

"I want to work in a safe beginner loop.
Please do only this one task: [describe one tiny change].

Before making changes:
1. explain your plan in plain English
2. list the files you expect to change
3. do not add packages or change config unless absolutely necessary

After making changes:
4. tell me exactly what changed
5. tell me how to test it in one minute
6. stop so I can review before the next step"

Pack FAQ

Why this pack exists and how to use it well

What is the Start safely prompt pack for?

Prompts for scoping work, protecting secrets, and making the agent stop after one reviewable step. Use this pack when you want a stable cluster of prompts around one supervision pattern instead of browsing the entire library.

Why does this page exist if the library already has filters?

This page is the canonical URL for the pack. It gives search engines, AI crawlers, and humans a stable starting point instead of a fragile query string.

Should I use every prompt in the pack at once?

No. Start with the featured prompt or one matching prompt, run one reviewable step, then switch prompts only if you need a different supervision pattern.
