A watchlist bot whose most valuable log word is "nothing"
Bots asked for three findings will stretch nothing into something.
What hurt
Yaori (@Pashoke1) runs a watchlist bot whose runs mostly end with "nothing", and writes one line per run to a log in /workspace because routines only keep the last 20 runs. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Three rules do the work: nothing passes, say nothing and stop; every number needs a source and timestamp, and anything over 60 minutes old is stale and gets no action; hit a login wall, stop instead of summarizing it. A pick that passes must say why, why now and where it's wrong, then waits on Ask first. A five-line daily brief ends with the one decision needed.

Routines
Watchlist checks. Several times a day. Apply the rules; log one line; say nothing if nothing passes.
Daily brief. Afternoon. Five lines: ran, empty, flagged, waiting, needed from you.
The prompt
His rules and log format (author-quoted)
Quoted from @Pashoke1 — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
"if nothing passes, reply nothing and stop." "every number needs a source and a timestamp. older than 60 minutes is stale. stale means no action." "hit a login, stop. don't guess what was behind it." copy this log format into your skill: time | routine | ok / empty / STALE / retry | what it found | duration
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/Pashoke1/status/2108469500207055205 (credit @Pashoke1).
- 2Add his three rules (no-data, stale-data, login stop) to your watchlist bot's skill.
- 3Have every run append one line in his log format to a file in /workspace.
- 4Require why / why now / where it's wrong for any pick, and set orders to Ask first.
- 5Paper trade until the log shows the bot says "nothing" when it should.
Approval fence
Orders sit on Ask first in Auto-review: the bot prepares the ticket and waits. Not financial advice; he says most trading bots lose money, so paper trade first.
What to tweak
A log full of "nothing" and "stale" is a bot that refuses to make things up.
