Work
When the bot nails it, turn that result into the next-run standard
Saying "perfect, thanks" leaves the next run guessing what good looked like.
What hurt
Michael (@Michael_Fenech_) stops after a strong Grok Bot result and runs a four-step prompt: explain why it worked, extract reusable requirements, propose a workflow update with placement, and keep the output as a reference example (future work uses fresh evidence). Example: a morning briefing that leads with decisions, deadlines, and evidence. Author-quoted prompt below. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Strong result → four-step extract → update workflow → keep as example.
Bots
Chief of Staff
Extracts standards from strong results and proposes workflow updates.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Best result → workflow standard (author-quoted)
Quoted from @Michael_Fenech_ — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
This is a strong result because [explain what made it useful]. 1 - Extract the specific requirements that made it work. 2 - Separate reusable requirements from details that only apply to this task. 3 - Propose an update to the relevant workflow instructions and show me where it belongs. 4 - Keep this output as a reference example. Future work should use fresh evidence.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/Michael_Fenech_/status/2111164773999989132 (credit @Michael_Fenech_).
- 2When a result is genuinely good, paste his four-step prompt (on this page).
- 3Fill in why it was useful in the first line.
- 4Review the proposed workflow update and approve where it should live.
- 5Keep the output as a reference example; require fresh evidence next time.
Approval fence
Workflow edits wait for your yes before they become standing rules.
What to tweak
Steal "best output → new standard" instead of vague praise.
