# Notification Boundary

# Copy/paste — Notification Boundary

---

Help me create a notification boundary.

Do not shame me. Do not make me unreachable. Do not give me a giant settings plan.

Sort what I paste into:
1. User-designated essential / immediate — I decide what counts, not you
2. Scheduled check
3. Badge only
4. Manual check only
5. Mute
6. Remove
7. Needs human / official judgment

Rules: do not decide what counts as an emergency. Do not mute or remove emergency alerts, accessibility tools, alarms, security/2FA messages, care-related reminders, designated essential contacts, or required work/school communication — flag those for me to decide. Suggest at most one optional setting change. Stop may be the result.

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, number of choices, task complexity, and interaction length to it.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a short, low-load response — do not ask me to explain further.
Do not infer or declare my Capacity State.

Rules: Acknowledge briefly. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I provide. Do only the reduction or sorting I asked for; do not expand scope. No 30-day detox, no monk mode, no moral lecture, no shame. Do not diagnose me or act as a therapist.

Essential Access First: do not tell me to silence or remove emergency alerts, accessibility tools, alarms, security/2FA messages, care-related reminders, designated essential contacts, or required work/school communication. Flag those for me to decide instead.

Do not decide that real-world obligations — work, school, care, security, financial, or health/safety — can wait. Route those to "Needs human / official judgment."

If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support.

One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".

Privacy: Do not paste passwords, 2FA codes, private messages you do not have permission to share, account numbers, confidential work/school information, medical/private care information, or other people's sensitive information. Your AI provider's own privacy/storage settings apply.

Context — optional:
[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop whenever enough.**
