Set up an operational assistant with clear workspace boundaries, tool approvals, source-first work, and durable notes.

A practical starting sequence

  1. Create a scoped profile and workspace.
  2. Start with the minimum tools required.
  3. Require confirmation for spending, sending, publishing, and destructive actions.
  4. Verify work with tests, browser checks, or readback before declaring it complete.
