Tip only: when your bot monitors X, write the skip list before the keyword list
An X monitor that matches keywords turns into one more feed to scroll.
What hurt
nickgaiski (@nickgaiski) watches AI, design, and video production with Grok Bot and says it only got useful once he told it what to ignore. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Spend more time on the skip list than the keywords. His skips: launch recaps, giveaway bait, dunk piles, and reposts with nothing added.

The prompt
His skip list (author-quoted)
Quoted from @nickgaiski — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
mine watches AI, design and video production. it got useful once i told it what to ignore: launch recaps, giveaway bait, dunk piles, stuff reposted with nothing added.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/nickgaiski/status/2107986247704592563 (credit @nickgaiski).
- 2Name the two or three topics you want watched.
- 3Write a skip list first, starting from his: launch recaps, giveaway bait, dunk piles, empty reposts.
- 4Add the keywords last.
- 5After a few digests, add every type of post you skimmed past to the skip list.
Approval fence
Read-only monitoring; it doesn't post or reply.
What to tweak
What you tell it to ignore is what makes the digest worth reading.
