Write the posting rules file before your X bot can post
An X bot that posts while you are away needs guardrails in one place.
What hurt
Juan (@cao282828) runs a Grok Bot on his own X account with scheduled reply rounds, a log of every post, and rules it reads before posting anything. Tip for starters: write those rules down in one file before you let it post. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
One rules file → scheduled reply rounds → log every post → read rules before send.
Bots
X desk
Runs scheduled reply rounds under a rules file and post log.
Plugins

Required
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/cao282828/status/2111951197464834246 (credit @cao282828).
- 2Create one rules file: topics allowed, tone, never-do list, when to ask you.
- 3Connect X; keep posting on Ask first until you trust the rules.
- 4Add scheduled reply rounds and require a log entry for every post.
- 5Only loosen Ask first after a week of clean logs.
Approval fence
Keep Ask first for posts until the rules file is proven; you own the account voice.
What to tweak
Steal the order: rules file first, posting second.
