Tip only: win twice by hand before you schedule it

A broken cron is just a broken skill with a timer.

What hurt

Darius Gaynor (@dariusgaynor) posted a crisp rule: do not put a Grok Bot on a schedule until it wins twice by hand. First run you watch every step. Second run you correct the misses. Only then turn it into a routine. If it still needs you mid-task, it is not ready for overnight. Tip only.

What to install or create

No new bot. Gate every new routine behind two supervised wins. Pairs with scheduled-routines-not-polling.

Bots

  • No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.

Plugins

  • None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.

Files

  • A short note of misses from run one and run two.

Routines

  • Create the routine only after two clean supervised runs. Prefer coarse daily cadence.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/dariusgaynor/status/2096011011069206693. Tip only.
  2. 2Run the job once while you watch every step. Write down misses.
  3. 3Run it again. Correct those misses. Still no schedule.
  4. 4Only if it finishes without mid-task help: hang a routine (prefer once/twice daily, not every few minutes).

Approval fence

No send, post, or spend. Watching and editing schedules only.

What to tweak

Steal the two-win gate before cron.
