Tip only: match X read cadence to the topic, hourly news, 15-minute live checks, a 2-hour loop
One fixed polling interval is either too slow for live events or wasteful for everything else.
What hurt
Cronus (@soycronus) runs his accounts on the bot's native X reads and only pays to post. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Hourly news from 9 to 21 Madrid time, deduped, nothing older than 18 hours; F1 checks every 15 minutes but only during live sessions; and a 2-hour loop for everything else.

Live checks. Every 15 min, live sessions only. Only while the event is live.
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/soycronus/status/2108361852304368078 (credit @soycronus).
- 2List your topics and how fresh each needs to be.
- 3Give each its own cadence and active hours.
- 4Add dedupe and a max age to every routine.
Approval fence
Reads only; posting stays a separate, deliberate step.
What to tweak
Fast only when it matters, deduped always.
