Work
End every routine report with Incomplete / Errors / Uncertain
Follow-ups hide in prose until you chase them for three rounds.
What hurt
@uknowhowai tip: add one sentence to every Grok Bot routine — end each report with 3 columns: Incomplete / Errors / Uncertain. Stuff that took three rounds of follow-up becomes visible at a glance. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Add the three-column closer to routine report instructions → retest.
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
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/uknowhowai/status/2117044236440731993 (credit @uknowhowai).
- 2Open each important routine's report instructions.
- 3Add: end each report with 3 columns — Incomplete / Errors / Uncertain.
- 4Hit Test and confirm the footer appears.
- 5Act on Incomplete and Uncertain yourself before the next run.
Approval fence
Uncertain items need your call — bot must not guess-send to close a row.
What to tweak
Steal the three-column footer; make uncertainty loud.
