Before you migrate: have each agent write its own handoff
Moving a fleet of agents means days of re-explaining roles from scratch.
What hurt
@realmikeredler moved 13 AI agents onto Grok Bot. The trick: before you migrate an agent, have it write its own handoff — roles, memory, routines. Days of work became an afternoon. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Ask old agent for handoff doc → review secrets stripped → feed to Grok Bot → verify one job.
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/realmikeredler/status/2116659261954531514 (credit @realmikeredler).
- 2On each old agent, ask it to write a handoff: roles, memory, routines — no passwords or API keys.
- 3Review and redact; save the docs where the new Grok Bot can read them.
- 4Create or point the Grok Bot at those handoffs and reconnect connectors yourself.
- 5Run one real job per migrated agent before trusting the rest of the fleet.
Approval fence
Strip passwords and API keys from every handoff; you reconnect connectors yourself.
What to tweak
Steal self-written handoffs before migrate; don't rebuild from memory.
