X Activity → cheap filters → jev triage → only then wake Grok Bot

Waking a full Grok Bot on every @mention is expensive and easy to abuse.

What hurt

Kody (@kodykoala) explains Kent C. Dodds’ mention desk: X Activity hits kodykoala-activity; cheap deterministic filters run first (bots, ignore list, duplicates, prompt-injection/waste, throttle); survivors go to jev which picks SKIP, WAKE_INSTRUCTION, WAKE_DATA, or IGNORE_AUTHOR; only WAKE_* hands off to Grok Bot Pam. Stranger text is data-only so it never becomes commands; Pam still drafts-by-default before any public reply. Tip with stealable gate ladder. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Webhook log → cheap filters → jev transition → WAKE_* only → draft-by-default reply.

Bots

  • Pam (Grok Bot)

    Wake only on WAKE_*; draft public replies; treat non-owner text as data.

Plugins

  • X

    Required

Files

  • Ops log of Activity events with path, role, kind, and jev transition.

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. 1Read https://x.com/kodykoala/status/2104313125428240703 for the triage-before-wake flow.
  2. 2Point X Activity (or mentions webhook) at a cheap logger first — not straight at Grok Bot.
  3. 3Run deterministic filters: bots, ignore list, duplicates, obvious injection/waste, throttle.
  4. 4Add a jev-style gate with transitions SKIP / WAKE_INSTRUCTION / WAKE_DATA / IGNORE_AUTHOR.
  5. 5Only WAKE_* starts the Grok Bot; keep draft-by-default and never treat stranger text as commands.

Approval fence

Public replies stay draft-by-default; stranger text never becomes instructions.

What to tweak

Steal “triage before wake.” Log everything; wake the expensive bot only on WAKE_*.
