Critical Guide

Claude Cowork Safety & Security

Claude Cowork is powerful because it touches your local files. Here is how to use it safely without compromising your data or privacy.

The Sandbox Principle

Never give Claude Cowork access to your Root or User home directory. Create a dedicated 'Workspace' folder and strictly provide access to that specific path.

Prompt Injection 101

Understand that untrusted files can contain hidden instructions that trick Claude Cowork. Always review the 'Plan' before executing terminal commands.

Read vs Write Permissions

Always start Claude Cowork with Read-Only intents. Ask 'Tell me what is in here' before granting full organization or delete permissions.

Backup First

Keep a separate backup copy of your data on a different drive. Until a workflow is fully trusted, never run it on your only copy.

High Priority

How to Stop Claude Cowork

If you see the agent performing unauthorized deletes, accessing sensitive paths, or behaving unexpectedly, use this emergency stop protocol immediately.

STOP

Click the "Stop" button

Halt all active processes in the Desktop UI immediately.

02

Force Quit Application
