Plain English to a checked draft

  1. Load the current ToolCustody draft

    Load the current ToolCustody draft

    Load the finishing-cell tool configuration from ToolCustody. It has no overdue priority rule yet, so every overdue return is reviewed at normal priority.

  2. Choose Create a complete rule

    Choose Create a complete rule

    Choose Create a complete rule. A rule says when it applies and what ToolCustody decides.

  3. Choose the oversight stage

    Choose the oversight stage

    Choose oversight. Oversight rules set the priority of the review task ToolCustody creates when a loan needs attention, such as an overdue return.

  4. Load the oversight rule controls

    Load the oversight rule controls

    Load the controls for a new oversight rule. This reads ToolCustody and does not save anything.

  5. Choose Create oversight rule

    Choose Create oversight rule

    Choose Create oversight rule under Change to describe, so the proposal covers both when the rule applies and the priority it sets.

  6. Type the requirement in plain English

    Type the requirement in plain English

    Type the requirement as the team wrote it: mark an overdue task high priority once it is at least 120 minutes late.

  7. Ask for a proposal

    Ask for a proposal

    Ask for a proposal. The AI replies with a question instead of guessing: every rule needs a precedence, and the requirement does not give one.

  8. Add the precedence the AI asked for

    Add the precedence the AI asked for

    Keep the requirement and answer the question: give the rule precedence 10.

  9. Ask for the complete proposal

    Ask for the complete proposal

    Ask again. The AI now returns a complete oversight rule. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.

  10. Read the restatement of the rule

    Read the restatement of the rule

    Read the restatement. It says in plain words when the rule applies: the return is overdue, and it is overdue by at least 120 minutes.

  11. Inspect the proposed condition

    Inspect the proposed condition

    Inspect the condition in the same controls ToolCustody uses: the return is overdue, and the minutes overdue are at least 120.

  12. Check the precedence and review priority

    Check the precedence and review priority

    Read what the rule will save, field by field: precedence 10 and review priority high.

  13. Confirm you checked the whole proposal

    Confirm you checked the whole proposal

    Confirm that you checked the condition and every value. ToolCustody still validates the whole configuration when it saves.

  14. Save the proposal as a draft

    Save the proposal as a draft

    Save the proposal as a draft. The configuration moves to revision 2. Saving does not approve, release or run the rule: the expected results, proof and an independent review come next.

Only a draft was saved. The expected results, the native proof and an independent review come next.
