Your training team cleared the agenda and equipment checklist for the guest speaker. The working folder also holds an internal budget and a participant list. The speaker needs two of the four files.
You will use WorkBuddy to prepare a local folder named Speaker Packet. It should contain exactly two files, while all four originals stay in your practice folder. You need an account with enough credits to run the task in the desktop app and an empty folder you can write to. All sample content is fictional.
Prepare four sample files
Create an empty folder called Speaker Handoff Exercise. Use Notepad on Windows or TextEdit in plain text mode on macOS. Save each line below as a separate file. The first column is the filename and the second is the content. Check that all four names end in .txt. Windows File Explorer has a setting to show extensions if they are hidden. File Explorer
Speaker Agenda.txt | Opening at 09:00 and hands-on practice at 09:10.
Equipment Checklist.txt | The podium has a projector and an HDMI adapter.
Internal Budget.txt | Fictional internal file.
Participant List.txt | Fictional internal file.
For real work, ask the project lead which files the speaker can receive. Bring copies of the approved files into the task folder and keep the other materials in their existing location. The sample puts four files together so you can practice checking exclusions.
Review the proposed file list
Create a desktop task and select Speaker Handoff Exercise using the workspace selector below the input area. Verify the folder name and the default permission setting. Create a task · Permission modes
Send this instruction.
Use only the current workspace. List the four filenames without opening the internal files.
Propose copying only Speaker Agenda.txt and Equipment Checklist.txt into Speaker Packet. Show each source name and its destination.
List Internal Budget.txt and Participant List.txt in the exclusions. If an approved file is missing, stop and tell me which one.
Show your proposal in the conversation. Wait for my confirmation before writing any files.
Expect two proposed copies and two exclusions. Check in your file manager that Speaker Packet has yet to be created. If the proposal includes an extra file, name it and ask for the complete two-row plan again. For a missing file, check the selected folder and the extension first.
Approve and copy the two files
Send this in the same conversation after checking the plan.
I approve creating the local packet. Copy only Speaker Agenda.txt and Equipment Checklist.txt into Speaker Packet in the current workspace. Keep their names, contents, and originals. Do not send or upload anything.
If Speaker Packet already exists, stop and tell me. When finished, list the actual destination filenames and count, and compare them with the approved list.
If the app opens a permission dialog, check the action, source, and destination. Cancel if the request includes sending a message, reading elsewhere, or deleting originals, and restate the two allowed copies. Routine operations in the workspace may proceed without a separate prompt. The wait after the preview comes from your instruction. Permission controls
Open the packet and verify it
Find the files in the results pane or open Speaker Packet through your file manager. Check that it contains exactly two files. The agenda must show 09:00 and 09:10. The checklist must mention the projector and HDMI adapter. Go up one folder and check that all four originals are still there. Check the output
If the packet already exists, inspect its contents before repeating the exercise. If it contains extras, use a fresh folder named Speaker Packet Review and preview the two destinations again. Check the file count, names, and contents before using a packet in a real handoff.
