Work
Status files, not group chat — one lead routes quiet specialists
Put bots in a group chat and every message wakes everyone — credit gone by noon.
What hurt
@livesanches tip (X Article on an 11-bot solo startup): first mistake was a bot group chat — every message woke every bot. Fix: each bot writes a 5-line status file at end of every task (Done, proof, next, waiting on, updated at). Bots read files, not each other's chatter. One lead routes; others stay quiet until called. Corrections become one-line rules in a shared lessons file. Tip/checklist only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
One job + status file per bot → lead routes by file → lessons file for corrections → you still press every external button.
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/livesanches/status/2118470328246489391 (credit @livesanches).
- 2Pick one lead bot and two specialists; ban group-chat handoffs between them.
- 3Require a 5-line status file after every task: Done, proof, next, waiting on, updated at.
- 4Have the lead read those files to route work — specialists stay quiet until called.
- 5When you correct a bot, add one line to a shared lessons file that every bot reads before the next task.
Approval fence
Bots draft only — never publish, send, spend, or merge without your yes.
What to tweak
Steal the 5-line status file; quiet bots only wake when the lead hands them work.
