Safe Use Boundaries

Prompt pages are designed to speed up thinking and writing. They are not a replacement for privacy review, fact checking, professional judgment, or policy approval.

Open matching prompt workflow
Review focus: Private details.
Why this matters: Replace names, records, account details, and confidential material with safe neutral labels..
Planned request: I want to summarize sensitive notes without exposing names or private details..
Use context: This will be used as internal working notes and must not include private records or final advice..
Who checks it: A responsible reviewer checks privacy, policy fit, and any factual claim before use..
Before using the answer, check privacy, unsupported claims, missing context, tone, and whether a human needs the final call.
If any part is unclear, ask for the missing detail before writing.

Do Not Paste

  • Private names, student records, customer records, or patient details.
  • Confidential strategy, contracts, account details, credentials, or payment information.
  • Anything your school, employer, client, or policy says should stay private.

Always Review

  • Facts, dates, claims, metrics, rankings, prices, laws, policies, and source references.
  • Tone, audience fit, missing assumptions, and whether the output matches the task.
  • High-stakes use in education, hiring, legal, medical, financial, safety, or client work.

Use Prompts For

Planning, outlining, comparing options, structuring notes, rewriting with constraints, and creating a review checklist that a human can use.

Do Not Use Prompts For

Inventing proof, bypassing academic rules, replacing a qualified reviewer, or making final decisions without checking source material.
