Paste-in: each bot improves one thing that needs no permission
Bots wait for tickets while obvious gaps sit untouched.
What hurt
Debbie O'Brien (@debs_obrien) shared a paste-to-chief-of-staff prompt: get all the bots together and send each one off to improve one thing — be proactive and impress me, but nothing that needs my permission; find gaps I haven't thought of. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Paste once to the front-door bot. Permissionless improvements only.
Bots
Chief of staff
Fans out improve-one-thing; blocks anything needing permission.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Permissionless improve-one-thing (author-quoted)
Quoted from @debs_obrien — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

- 3Paste the author-quoted prompt.
- 4Review the proposed improvements; discard anything that actually needed permission.

Approval fence
Nothing that sends, posts, spends, or changes access — permissionless only.
What to tweak
Steal the permissionless improve-one-thing kickoff.
