Work
Trust what it ships: job → skill → routine → check
Giving a task is easy; trusting the output without a check is hope.
What hurt
@BotDirectoryAI (via @mr_kozh) tip: giving Grok Bot a task is easy; trusting what it ships is hard. Close the gap with one clear job, a skill with the steps written down, a routine so it runs without you, and a check that tells you it's right. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Job → write skill steps → schedule routine → add an explicit check.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
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
- 1Read https://x.com/BotDirectoryAI/status/2117046434763870586 (credit @BotDirectoryAI / @mr_kozh).
- 2Write one clear job for the bot in one sentence.
- 3Save the steps as a skill the bot can replay.
- 4Only then schedule a routine that runs the skill.
- 5Add a check (test, ffprobe, diff, checklist) that tells you when it's wrong.
Approval fence
Checks must surface failures to you; never auto-send or auto-pay on a green check alone without your rule.
What to tweak
Steal the four-layer order; skip the check and you're hoping.
