Work
Paste one good example into the routine instead of a longer prompt
Your routine says what to do but never shows what done looks like, so you correct format and tone every run.
What hurt
ShareGrokBots.com (@ShareGrokBots) says the fastest way to better output is one real example, and gave a three-step fix you can do tonight. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Take the best output the bot ever gave you (or write one), paste it under “A good result looks like this,” and add one line on what changes each run. Bots copy shape better than they follow description.
Bots
Any routine's bot
Copies the format of the pasted example on every run.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Three-step fix (author-quoted)
Quoted from @ShareGrokBots — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
1. Take the best output your bot ever gave you, or write one by hand. 2. Paste it into the routine under a line that says "A good result looks like this." 3. Add one line on what to change each run, like the date or the names.
First run

- 2Pick the routine whose output you correct most.
- 3Find its best past output, or write the ideal one yourself.
- 4Paste it into the routine under “A good result looks like this.”
- 5Add one line naming what should change each run, then run it once to compare.
Approval fence
No send, spend, or publish step here. Keep your usual ask-first rules on.
What to tweak
One real example beats ten adjectives.
