Work
Manager, developer, reviewer: three bots with handoff rules
Ten fancy job titles still leave you chasing unfinished handoffs.
What hurt
Mac (@MacBuildsDaily) describes a delivery setup: Manager clarifies and assigns, Developer implements and records checks, Reviewer tests against acceptance criteria. A handoff is complete only when the receiver has the brief, can access context, and acknowledges the next action. Put each task where the work lives. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Three bots + shared task tracker. Define boundaries and handoff done-when. You approve merges/releases.
Bots
Manager
Clarifies, prioritizes, assigns. Does not implement.
Developer
Implements agreed change; records checks.
Reviewer
Tests vs acceptance; reports gaps. Never ships alone.
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/MacBuildsDaily/status/2109475381283868769 (credit @MacBuildsDaily).
- 2Create three bots with the boundaries above.
- 3Write handoff done-when: brief + access + acknowledged next action.
- 4Put every actionable task in the tracker the work already uses.
- 5Run one small change through Manager → Developer → Reviewer before wider use.
Approval fence
Do not merge, ship, or message customers without your yes.
What to tweak
Steal the three-role loop and the handoff definition. Titles without receivers are theater.
