Photo of a shopping list in, Costco cart out, and it never checks out without your yes
Building a grocery order from a scribbled list means an hour in the app.
What hurt
BowTiedFrog (@BowTiedFrog) sends a photo of his Costco list; his main bot reads it and hands it to a bot whose only job is Costco Same-Day, which builds the cart from his Buy It Again history. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
The Costco bot logs into Same-Day in its own browser, matches items to his past purchases with sizes and prices, reports out-of-stock items with a substitute, turns anything marked "?" into priced options, and adjusts the cart by text. It remembers preferences like standard delivery.

The prompt
His Costco bot's rules (author-quoted)
Quoted from @BowTiedFrog — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Its rules, set once: 🍌 organic fruit when they have it 🏷️ Kirkland when it matches 🚚 never pay for priority 💳 card on file 🛑 never check out without my yes
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/BowTiedFrog/status/2108608298320843021 (credit @BowTiedFrog).
- 2Create a bot named for your store whose job is: build my cart, stop before checkout.
- 3Log into the store once in its browser.
- 4Do one order together, correcting picks and sizes as you go.
- 5Write your preferences into its rules, ending with: never check out without my yes.
Approval fence
It builds the cart and asks "Place it?"; nothing is ordered until he says yes.
What to tweak
Do one order together first, then lock in your preferences and keep the stop before checkout.
