Required fields, strict types, bounded confidence, and an editable action allowlist.
JSON contract + decision table + checklist
AI Output Contract Starter / OWF-AIOCS-001
Define what AI may propose before automation acts.
Start with a strict action contract, decide which failures block or require review, and test four synthetic cases before connecting a real email, webhook, database update, or other side effect.

01 / What is included
A small contract pack you can adapt before choosing a platform.
A fail-closed order for parse, shape, action, target, confidence, evidence, and duplicate checks.
Fourteen concrete checks to complete with synthetic data before connecting a side effect.
Accept, low-confidence review, disallowed action, and missing-field cases with expected routes.
Internal-use terms and per-file hashes included in the protected ZIP.
02 / Decision order
Structure and policy fail before confidence gets a vote.
| Check | Failure route | External action |
|---|---|---|
| Parse or required shape | Block | None |
| Action or target allowlist | Block | None |
| Confidence or evidence | Human review | None |
| Every required check passes | Accept | Separate bounded action step |
03 / Honest boundary
This is the contract layer, not the finished n8n implementation.
Editable documents and JSON for designing, reviewing, and testing an action contract.
Executable validator code, an importable n8n workflow, eight lessons, hosting, credentials, or production support.
The $19 AI Output Safety Gate adds source, fixtures, contract tests, the course, and a credential-free n8n workflow.

Use synthetic data first. Keep the proposed action separate from evidence that the downstream system completed it.
