Work
Paste-in prompt: have your chief of staff plan a lighter week of usage
Usage runs out midweek and you can't tell which routines are worth the burn.
What hurt
Red Chem (@red_chem_lite) told their chief-of-staff bot to look across every task and propose a plan that does the same work for less, and shared the exact prompt plus a looser version for different setups. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Send the prompt to your main or chief-of-staff bot. It favors scheduled light checks over continuous watches, caps each job to a batch, stays quiet when nothing changed, and saves one cleanup for the end of the week. It proposes; you approve before anything changes.
Bots
Chief of staff
Reviews every bot and routine and proposes a lower-usage plan.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Conserve-grant prompt (author-quoted)
Quoted from @red_chem_lite — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Conserve my weekly Grok Bot grant. Prefer scheduled light checks over continuous watch, keep each job to a capped batch, stay quiet when nothing changed, and only propose one leftover cleanup near the end of the week when usage is low. Ask me before you change anything, and tailor the cadence to how I actually use my bots.
Looser opener for different setups (author-quoted)
Quoted from @red_chem_lite — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Look at my bots and routines and propose a light conserve-grant plan. I want less burn midweek and quiet when there's nothing to do. Don't change anything until I approve.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/red_chem_lite/status/2107675886593937534 (credit @red_chem_lite).
- 2Open a chat with your main or chief-of-staff bot.
- 3Paste the first prompt below, or the looser one if your setup is different.
- 4Read its plan routine by routine and approve only the changes you agree with.
- 5Check usage again after a week and ask it to adjust the cadence.
Approval fence
The prompt already says “ask me before you change anything.” Keep that line; pausing or rewriting routines should be your call.
What to tweak
Ask for a plan, not a purge: light checks, capped batches, quiet when nothing changed.
