Three-run proof: fail Monday, fix Tuesday, ship Wednesday with zero touches
Teams keep polishing the final report instead of the routine that made it wrong.
What hurt
baron (@tyrtyre201) runs the same mission three days: observe, one fix, then untouched autopilot. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Chief + research/strategy/execution + reviewer. Run 1 fails on purpose to log weak handoffs; run 2 applies one charter/routine fix; run 3 must need 0 interventions before scheduling. Autopilot stays off until then.
Bots
Chief
Routes work and keeps the failure log
Reviewer
Blocks deliverables that miss checks; returns failures to the right specialist
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
3-run proof for a bot team (author-quoted)
Quoted from @tyrtyre201 — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Set up a 3-run proof for my Grok Bot team on this mission: [DESCRIBE THE RESULT] 1. Pin the roles: > Chief routes and keeps a failure log > Research, strategy and execution do the work > Reviewer checks every deliverable and returns failures to the right specialist 2. Define the three runs: > Run 1: observe only, do not rescue the result > Run 2: apply one fix to the routine, then repeat > Run 3: no help from me 3. Set the checkpoints: > After run 1 list where context was lost and which check failed > After run 2 tell me if the same mistake came back > Before scheduling confirm that run 3 needed 0 interventions Show me the plan first. Do not execute until I confirm
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/tyrtyre201/status/2108990265209860182 (credit @tyrtyre201).
- 2Paste the author's prompt with your mission filled in; approve the plan first.
- 3Run day 1 observe-only; note the weak handoff.
- 4Apply one routine fix on day 2; confirm the mistake is gone.
- 5Only schedule after day 3 needs zero interventions.
Approval fence
Scheduling and any send/publish wait until run 3 is clean and you confirm.
What to tweak
Every failure changes the charter, routine or handoff—never the final output by hand.
