Tip only: put sticky lists in a text file on the bot’s computer
Bots re-ask for the same lists and burn usage. A plain file on the box is cheaper memory.
What hurt
dan (@danstradingco) tip: if bots must remember various lists, create a simple text file on the bot’s computer — it can save usage versus stuffing everything into chat memory. Tip only — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Write lists to a box file. Point the bot at the path. Update the file when the list changes.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Files
lists/*.txt on the bot computer (tickers, vendors, allowlists, …).
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
- 1Open https://x.com/danstradingco/status/2102502935263322329.
- 2Pick one list the bot keeps re-asking for. Write it to a text file on the bot’s computer.
- 3Tell the bot the path and to read the file before asking you again.
- 4When the list changes, edit the file — do not paste a new mega-list into chat.
Approval fence
Do not put secrets in plain list files. Keep credentials in a vault the bot may not dump.
What to tweak
Steal file-as-memory for sticky lists. Chat is for the ask, not the roster.
