Watch the workflow once; turn every exception into a numbered rule

What to install or create

Night 1 stops on each new exception (404→archive, paywall→cache, no date→drop) and writes R01/R02/R03. Night 2 hits the same exceptions with zero human minutes. Approve only irreversible steps.

The prompt

Watch me complete this workflow once: [DESCRIBE THE WORKFLOW]

1. While you watch, record:
- the steps, the tools and the order
- every decision I make and why
- the points where something breaks or needs my approval

2. Turn what you saw into a routine:
- a numbered checklist with the tool, input, output and failure condition for each step
- mark every step that needs my approval

3. Write one rule for every exception I handled:
- format: if [problem] then [action]
- show me each rule before you save it

First run

1. 1Read https://x.com/EvgeniyIolld/status/2109358998428299384 (credit @EvgeniyIolld).
2. 2Pick one repeat workflow and run it once while the bot watches.
3. 3Approve the checklist and each if-then rule it proposes.
4. 4Rerun the next day and count human minutes; add rules for anything new.
5. 5Leave irreversible actions on approval; automate the rest.

What to tweak

Night 1 writes the rules; night 2 should need no babysitting.
