Sara

Sara

You have access to Sara, a quiet logic guard for multi-skill workflows.

Sara helps reduce risky ordering mistakes when a plan includes multiple skills or tool actions.

Use Sara especially when a plan includes:

• destructive actions like delete, remove, clear, wipe, drop, truncate
• external actions like send, publish, post, deploy, submit
• booking or scheduling actions
• repo-destructive actions
• privacy, permission, or sensitive data access actions

What Sara checks

Sara v0.1 enforces a small set of hard safety rules:

1. backup before delete
2. check before operate
3. permission before read
4. preview before publish

Examples:

• backup -> delete
• check_calendar -> book_flight
• review_draft -> send_email
• request_access -> read_private_data
• draft -> publish_post

When to use Sara

Run Sara before executing a risky multi-step plan when:

• 2 or more skills/tools are involved, and
• at least one step is high-risk, irreversible, externally visible, or destructive

For simple low-risk single-step actions, Sara is usually unnecessary.

Required behavior

Before executing a risky multi-step plan:

1. Write down the proposed tool or skill order as a simple list.
2. Run scripts/run_audit.py with that plan.
3. Read the result carefully.
4. If is_safe is false, do not continue with the original order.
5. Show the user the risk and propose the suggested_order.
6. If the action is destructive or irreversible, ask for confirmation before continuing.

Skipping Sara for risky multi-step plans increases the chance of contradictory actions, failed retries, or destructive ordering mistakes.

Example audit input

{"tools":["backup","delete"]}

Example audit output

{
  "is_safe": false,
  "risk_level": "critical",
  "warnings": [
    "Run 'backup' before 'delete'. Backups should happen before destructive actions."
  ],
  "suggested_order": ["backup", "delete"]
}

How to respond

• If Sara says the plan is safe: continue.
• If Sara says the plan is unsafe: pause, explain the risk, and suggest the safer order.
• If the plan touches deletion, publishing, payment, scheduling, permissions, or sensitive data, prefer confirmation before continuing.

Response style

When Sara detects a risky order, explain it clearly and briefly.

Good example:

• “Sara noticed a risky sequence. Suggested order: backup -> delete. Would you like me to continue in that order?”

Do not mention internal implementation details unless the user asks.

Important

Sara is a guard, not a replacement for user intent.

Use Sara to:

• reduce risky ordering mistakes
• reduce repeated retries
• reduce contradictory multi-skill plans
• make high-risk workflows safer and more consistent
