Type an overdue priority rule in plain English, answer the AI's question about the missing detail, inspect the complete proposed rule and save it deliberately as a draft.

## 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.
