Routine didn't run? Four checks before you rebuild it
Rebuilding a "broken" routine when it's only paused, wrong TZ, or noisy.
What hurt
@Max_XuY tip: routine didn't run last night? Before you rebuild: (1) is it active (2) schedule + the time zone it's actually in (3) trigger too narrow or channel too noisy (4) Hit Test and read the result. Or ask: "Check my routine [name] against those 4. Fix nothing, just tell me which one failed." Author-quoted. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Four-check triage → diagnose only → fix the one failure.
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
Diagnose routine against four checks (author-quoted)
Quoted from @Max_XuY — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
Check my routine [name] against those 4. Fix nothing, just tell me which one failed. Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/Max_XuY/status/2117034480099856646 (credit @Max_XuY).
- 2Paste the author diagnose line with your routine name filled in.
- 3Manually verify: active, schedule/TZ, trigger width, Test output.
- 4Fix only the failed check.
- 5Test once more before you call it rebuilt.
Approval fence
Diagnose only first — fix nothing until you confirm which check failed.
What to tweak
Steal the four-check ask; don't rebuild on a wrong timezone.
