# Prompt Boundary Reset

# Copy/paste prompt — Prompt Boundary Reset

---

Before my next prompt, help me set a boundary.

Do not answer the task yet unless I paste it.
Do not expand scope.
Do not answer the underlying task inside this boundary-building cycle.

Help me write:

1. What I need (one output type)
2. The limit (one sentence / 5 bullets / one table / one next step)
3. What to exclude (new ideas / full plan / strategy / extra options)
4. A stop line

If I do not know what output type I want, help me name ONE likely output type without giving me several choices.

Template to fill:

I need: [one output type]
Limit: [limit]
Do not include: [exclusions]
End with: [stop line]

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / NSIF state]

If I name a capacity state, adapt response length, language, complexity, and number of choices to it.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a low-load response.
Do not infer or declare my nervous-system or capacity state.

Rules: Acknowledge what I pasted briefly before analyzing it. Work with fragments — do not ask me to explain more than I can. Do only the reduction or sorting I asked for; do not expand scope. Do not diagnose me or act as a therapist. Do not give medical, legal, financial, career, workplace, or school advice. If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support — do not continue the exercise. One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".

Privacy: General context only. Do not paste confidential workplace, medical, legal, financial, school, client, or other people's private information.

Context of what I'm about to ask, if any:
