What hurt

Mahesh Chulet (@mchulet) posted 12 tips that quietly 10x a builder’s workflow: specialist lanes, connect tools you already live in, routines for boring loops, draft→taste-check→revise, feed taste once, pre-ship checklists, research→decide→draft in one thread, standing project context, browser grunt work, separate thinking vs shipping bots, options plus a recommendation, and close the loop out loud (“Post this”, “Add to calendar”). Tip only — author-listed; no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Pick one tip. Wire it this week. Prefer specialists + connectors + out-loud close-the-loop over mega-prompts.

Bots

  • Thinking / strategy bot

    Research, planning, content judgment. Stays out of shipping mush.

  • Shipping / build bot

    Build, debug, close loops out loud when you say so.

Plugins

  • Calendar

    Optional

  • Gmail

    Optional

  • Browser

    Optional

  • X

    Optional

Files

  • Optional: 3 sample posts/emails that sound like you (taste pack).

  • Standing project context: goals, audience, stack, constraints.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Open https://x.com/mchulet/status/2102855650409848917 and read all 12 tips.
  2. 2Give each bot a lane (research / planning / content / ops). Skip one mega-prompt dumping ground.
  3. 3Connect one tool you already live in (calendar, email, GitHub, X) so the bot can act, not only chat.
  4. 4Paste 3 posts or emails that sound like you and say “match this.”
  5. 5Close one loop out loud this week: “Add to calendar” or “Watch CI and tell me if red” — after you approve.

Approval fence

“Post this”, calendar writes, and any spend still need your yes.

What to tweak

Steal the list as a desk checklist. Specialists and closed loops beat one mega-prompt.
