Work

Thin screen before the worker: scope, duplicate, evidence packet

Multi-agent stacks fail when the first tool call starts from a messy inbox with no gate.

What hurt

ShareGrokBots (@ShareGrokBots) says most multi-agent stacks fail before the first tool call because they skip the gate. Before a worker acts, run a thin screen: (1) Is this in scope? (2) Do we already have this lead or draft? (3) What evidence must come back? Only then hand a bounded packet. Orchestrator routes; screener filters; worker executes; reviewer checks the receipt.

What to install or create

Thin screen (scope / dupe / evidence) → bounded packet → worker → receipt review.

Bots

  • Screener

    Answer scope / duplicate / required evidence before any worker tool call.

  • Worker

    Execute only bounded packets from the screener.

  • Reviewer

    Check the receipt against the evidence required in the packet.

Plugins

  • None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.

Files

  • Bounded packet template: scope yes/no, duplicate check, evidence required, owner.

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

  1. 1Read https://x.com/ShareGrokBots/status/2104302841623969814 for the thin-screen tip.
  2. 2Before any worker tool call, answer: in scope? already have this lead/draft? what evidence must come back?
  3. 3Only then hand a bounded packet (owner + status + evidence required).
  4. 4Let the worker run; reviewer checks the receipt against the packet.
  5. 5If the inbox is messy, put the screener in front of every worker — do not skip the gate.

Approval fence

Workers only get packets that already passed the screen; irreversible sends stay gated.

What to tweak

Steal the three-question screen. If the bot starts from a messy inbox, add the screen first.
