Launch formula: bots draft, you approve, read the queue back
Agents "run" a launch for days — nothing crashes, things just quietly don't happen.
What hurt
@NotYourAIDad 12-day launch lessons (Grok Bot for social): one person approves; bots draft, humans send; start on free tools; after every scheduler load, read the queue back on EVERY channel; check each channel actually posted; tagged links per channel; signup line in every day's posts; if a login looks wrong, pull the bot; write a baseline with a date; keep a diary. Tip/checklist only — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Draft-only bots → one weekly approve pass → load scheduler → read every channel queue back → diary + baseline.
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 the article at https://x.com/NotYourAIDad/status/2117407816575238636 (credit @NotYourAIDad).
- 2Write the hard rule: bots draft, you mark approved/sent; no likes/follows/DMs/passwords from bots.
- 3Have the social bot build a post kit; approve once, then load the scheduler.
- 4Open every channel queue and confirm posts are actually there — not just the channel you glanced at.
- 5Log a dated baseline (followers/posts/signups) and a one-line diary entry for each surprise.
Approval fence
Nothing posts, emails, or spends without your yes. Pull the bot if a login looks wrong — don't route around it.
What to tweak
Steal read-the-queue-back; a quiet channel looks exactly like a working one from far away.
