Work
Ask what you did by hand three times — make it a routine
Repeated manual work never becomes a routine unless you name it.
What hurt
ShareGrokBots Sunday tip: ask the bot which task you did by hand three times this week. If it can name one, that is your next routine candidate — with a Done-when and a Never lane. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
One question to your main bot weekly. Promote only with Done-when + Never.
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

- 2Ask: which task did I do by hand three times this week?
- 3If it names one, write Done-when and Never for that job.
- 4Create a routine on a slow schedule first.
- 5Review one week of runs before speeding it up.
Approval fence
New routines stay draft/notify-only until you approve.
What to tweak
Steal the three-times rule. Frequency discovers the backlog.
