A routine saying "success" doesn't mean it did the work: have one Grok Bot check the others' output

Each of the author's bots does one job. Another bot checks whether the other routines actually produced results, and it caught a sync that had reported "success" for six days without writing anything.

The problem

As you add bots, you add routines. A routine that says "success" only finished running; it doesn't mean it did what it was supposed to.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Give each bot one job

    Also give each bot a short list of what it never does and which bot handles that instead. Keep the actual how-to in shared skills, not a copy in every bot.

  2. 2

    Have one bot check output, not reports

    The point is to look for what the routine should have produced.

    Prompt

    Replace the 2 ✎ dashed parts with your own details, then copy.

    Your job is to check my other bots' routines. Every Monday morning (sample, replace with yours), go through each routine and look at what it should have produced last week: new spreadsheet rows, emails sent, updated Pages (sample, replace with yours). Don't trust a routine just because it says it succeeded. For anything that produced nothing, list the routine, what should be there and what you actually found. If everything is fine, don't notify me.
  3. 3

    Have another bot tidy the skills

    Each week it removes stale or repeated content. The author says less to read means fewer mistakes and lower usage.
