You will learn to

Document a reproducible safety failure without spreading the harmful content.

Why this matters

A useful report preserves evidence, limits exposure, and reaches the authorised response path.

Three things to remember

  • Capture the minimum evidence needed to reproduce.
  • Classify impact and affected people.
  • Use the approved private escalation channel.

See one example

Task

A model reveals contact details from a private file.

Weak approach

Post the full output in a public issue.

Stronger approach

Redact personal data, retain minimum private evidence, classify privacy leakage, and request containment.

Why the stronger approach works

The strong report supports investigation without creating a second exposure.

Make something yourself

Draft a bounded incident note with failure type, impact, minimum evidence, and safe expected behaviour.

A useful starting pointUse placeholders instead of any real personal or harmful content.
