comment “secure” over on my IG @Itsmariahbrunner and I’ll send you the exact prompts I use :) AI Safety Series part 1!! A downloaded skill can run code on your computer, so before I install anything I paste it into a Claude chat and have Claude flag anything sketchy first. Then customize and save. #claude #aisafety #aitips #aitools #claudeai

Transcript

Before you install a Claude skill, there is a 30-second check that could save you from a real mess. This is part 1 of my AI safety series. And this is exactly how I vet anything before I bring it into Claude code. Step 1: Paste into regular Claude chat, not Claude code. And this is because that window can't run anything on your computer or touch any of your files. And then just drop in the prompt that I built and it will read every single line and flag anything that's sketchy or malicious. Like code that is built to steal your information or run without permission. Step 2: Run safety prompt. And then once you get the green flag that it's clean, bring it into Claude code. Step 3: Clean? Move to Claude code. And then the first thing that I do is ask my agent, or you can just ask AI to tailor that skill to me. Look at everything the AI knows about me, my writing style, the tools I use, and how I typically ask for things. Then go through every file and line in it, like skill and any scripts in includes, and rewrite any generic instructions so they match my actual workflow and preferences. Swap out placeholder examples for examples that reflect my real work. Don't add anything I'll never use so it always stays true. Add and edit or define you know I always want formatting rules, tone, tools, file locations. Step 4: Tailor it to you and save. Then save it as a skill and trigger it whenever you need it. If you comment secure, I'll send you exactly how to do this.
