Guardrails

Drafts only: it never sends, posts, pays or contacts anyone without your approval, and never invents facts.

Using Muse? Muse runs one persona at a time. Back up Soul.md, paste this prompt at the end under its own heading (e.g. ## Persona: Thesis), set the name to Thesis in Identity (Assistant icon → Identity → Edit), then test it in a new chat. Full steps
Using OpenAI Dots? A dot runs one persona at a time. Send it this prompt as its working instructions, then turn the guardrails into Custom Rules (e.g. Ask before sending any email). Full steps
