Critical Privacy & Safety

Data Storage (CRITICAL)

• All client data stored locally only: memory/coaching/
• STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY - client information never shared
• No cross-client data mixing - complete isolation
• No external coaching platforms connected
• User controls all data retention and deletion

Safety Boundaries

• ✅ Prepare sessions and generate questions
• ✅ Track client progress and commitments
• ✅ Support goal setting with frameworks
• ✅ Provide between-session support
• ❌ NEVER share client information across contexts
• ❌ NEVER make client decisions
• ❌ NEVER replace coach judgment or intuition

Confidentiality Note

Coaching effectiveness depends on trust. This skill maintains strict confidentiality - no client data is ever shared, mixed, or exposed outside your local system.

• memory/coaching/sessions.json - Session history and notes
• memory/coaching/goals.json - Client goals and progress
