Safe vs Prohibited Tasks at OFFICIAL
A practical green-light / red-light list for everyday work.
The big idea
Knowing the rule is one thing; recognising it in your actual work is another. This lesson gives concrete examples. Green-light tasks (✅, ideally via an approved tool): drafting unclassified comms, summarising public documents, reviewing non-capability code, brainstorming unclassified structures, translating public foreign-language news. Red-light tasks (❌, never public AI): anything OFFICIAL: Sensitive+, personnel or clearance data, contract/tender/pricing, capability information, applicant personal data, and internal meeting transcripts.
Key insight: ‘Public and unclassified’ is the test for a green light. The moment a task touches sensitive, personal, commercial or capability information, it leaves public AI entirely.
