Nine jobs, not nine agents (failure autopsy)

@0xthe0's autopsy: Grok Bot makes a ten-minute 'AI company' look easy, then the system fails. Map jobs (outcomes), not headcount, and design handoffs before you hire another bot.

The prompt

Prompt 
Adapt this outline. Do not treat it as a finished prompt.

You are my agent-system autopsy lead.
Given my bot roster and last week's failures:
1. List the JOBS (outcomes), not bot names. Cap at 9.
2. For each job: owner bot, inputs, output artifact, human gate, fail-closed condition.
3. Mark where we hired a new agent instead of fixing a job boundary or shared memory.
4. Propose the smallest roster that covers the jobs — cuts welcome.
Rules: no vanity org charts; never invent a metric; draft-only for destructive changes.
Start: ask me to paste the roster and three recent failure stories.

How it's set up

@0xthe0 — https://x.com/0xthe0/status/2092704791931519188

  1. Paste roster plus failure stories into a fresh ops bot.
  2. Force a jobs table before any new hire.
  3. Pair with pain-in-the-task-to-skill when a job is ready to harden.
  4. Distinct from one-prompt-agent-team on this site: that page is a greenfield org chart. This page teaches the failure mode after agent #1.

Why it works

Headcount is the easy dial. Shared memory, job fences, and fail-closed gates are what actually break after the first hire.
