Two X agents, one shared file: new/used markers beat clever prompts
Writer and poster bots collide because each trusts its own memory.
What hurt
Paulo Pierrondi (@paulopierrondi) hands X work between two agents via a shared file: one writes posts marked new or used; the other only posts items marked new, then stamps post id and time; anything you ask for goes in a priority file that jumps the line; neither trusts memory—both reread the file every round. A shared file beats a clever prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Shared file with new/used → poster stamps → priority file → reread every round.
Bots
Writer
Writes posts into the shared file marked new or used.
Poster
Posts only new items, stamps id/time; rereads every round.
Plugins
X
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/paulopierrondi/status/2112700188645011794 (credit @paulopierrondi).
- 2Create one shared file both bots can read and write.
- 3Writer only adds posts marked new or used; Poster only takes new, then stamps post id and time.
- 4Put direct human asks in a priority file that jumps the line.
- 5Tell both: never trust memory—reread the file every round.
Approval fence
Nothing posts without your usual publish gate if you require one.
What to tweak
Steal the artifact handoff: markers on disk, not vibes in chat.
