Stay in the Room

Your Harness

One page that holds your values and your standards, which any AI runs inside. You build it across the course, a line at a time, and it’s always here. It saves in this browser as you type. Nothing to download. When you want it somewhere else, copy it.

Module 1 · 1.3 and 1.4

What’s in the way

Your resistance, in your own words, from the map. And the one thing you’re afraid this costs you.

What this might cost me
Module 2 · 2.2 and 2.4

Who I am and what I’m for

Identity before role. What you stand on, who you stand with. Then the four values — mine, not mine, or mine with a different name — and the one that isn’t on our list.

My values
What I will never hand over
Module 2 · 2.5

My criteria

The standards your AI runs on. This goes in before the task, every time.

What I want
What I never allow
How I want to be spoken to
What good looks like
Module 3 · 3.5

My three pauses

Before you paste. Before you trust. Before you connect. Specific to your work.

Module 3 · 3.4

What I’m working on right now

One live project. What it is, what done looks like, who’s affected, what’s fixed. Change it when the project changes.

Module 5

Where I stand

One line per room: the line you won’t let AI cross, the door you’ll open, the one agreement. Home, work, and your third space.

At home
At work
In my third space

Where I stand

Say it to someone. The first time you say a thing out loud to another person is the real draft.
