Routine reliability audit: six checks before you change anything
You notice a routine was idling or doing the wrong thing only after the week's usage is gone.
What hurt
@stansKoya tip (adapted from @Michael_Fenech_'s six-check idea): before you retune live schedules, run a ROUTINE RELIABILITY AUDIT. Each bot reports its routines; check unique owner, time/timezone/frequency, fresh inputs, what success looks like and where it lands, whether approval steps can go stale, and how missing info / disconnects / low quota are reported. Then pick the top three for a safe test plan — no live changes or dry-runs without approval (dry-runs still do real work and burn usage). Distinct from usage-auditor-holes-baseline (different six checks focused on routine reliability). Author-quoted Chinese prompt (EN translated). Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Paste audit prompt → each bot reports routines → six checks → top-three safe test plan → approve before any change or dry-run.
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
Routine reliability audit — six checks, change nothing without approval (author-quoted)
Quoted from @stansKoya (adapted from @Michael_Fenech_) — 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.
(Translated from the author's Chinese.) Run a ROUTINE RELIABILITY AUDIT on my Grok Bot team. Have every Bot report its own routines. Check each one for: 1) whether there is a single owner; 2) whether time / timezone / frequency are sensible; 3) whether inputs use the latest sources; 4) what success looks like and where it is delivered; 5) whether steps that need my approval can go stale; 6) how missing info / disconnects / low usage quota are reported. Pick the three most important items and give me a safe test plan. Do not change or dry-run any live routine without approval — a dry-run still does real work and burns usage. Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/stansKoya/status/2118145047325794655 (credit @stansKoya; six-check idea also @Michael_Fenech_).
- 2Paste the author ROUTINE RELIABILITY AUDIT prompt into your lead bot; require a report only.
- 3Review the six checks per routine: unique owner, schedule/timezone, fresh inputs, success shape + destination, stale approval steps, failure reporting.
- 4Approve a safe test plan for the top three findings only.
- 5Change or dry-run nothing live until you say yes — dry-runs still burn usage.
Approval fence
Report only first — never change, pause, or dry-run a live routine without your yes.
What to tweak
Steal the six reliability checks; report first, don't burn usage on unapproved dry-runs.
