Sunday audit: each routine's "nothing new" sentence—or it's too noisy
Routines that always write long reports train you to ignore them.
What hurt
ShareGrokBots (@ShareGrokBots) suggests a Sunday-night check before the week starts. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Ask the bot to list every routine and the one sentence it would send if that routine found nothing new. A long report means too noisy; silence is good.
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/ShareGrokBots/status/2109421315903930625 (credit @ShareGrokBots).
- 2Sunday night, ask: list every routine and its nothing-new one-liner.
- 3Rewrite or slow any routine that answers with a report.
- 4Keep the ones that correctly stay silent.
- 5Repeat next Sunday for new routines only.
Approval fence
Audit only; don't delete routines without your confirmation.
What to tweak
If "nothing new" can't be one sentence, the routine is wrong.
