Eight-Step Capstone Build

Define

Write the Project purpose, outcome, owner, boundary and success measure.

Create

Confirm account/workspace, choose a clear name, icon, colour and memory mode.

Instruct

Add concise Project instructions and test them in a fresh chat.

Source

Add the smallest authorised source set, register it and verify retrieval.

Organise

Create at least three focused chats with meaningful searchable titles.

Record

Capture one approved decision and a current-status summary.

Test

Run instruction, source, context, privacy and resumption tests.

Maintain

Set review rhythm, milestone, acceptance test and next action.

Five automatic stop conditions

  • You do not have permission to upload or share the material.
  • The Project contains passwords, API keys, recovery codes or unnecessary sensitive data.
  • The memory boundary or workspace identity is unclear.
  • Two authoritative sources conflict and no responsible owner has resolved them.
  • Sharing is proposed before every member-visible chat, file and instruction has been reviewed.

Stop, remove the risk and seek the appropriate decision before proceeding. A capstone is not passed by ignoring a safety failure.
