Skill-then-routine promotion loop

Official durable-Bot loop: write the job into the description, run one safe task, correct until it is reviewable, save a skill, test a second input, and create a routine only when retries and failures are defined. Consequential actions stay behind approval.

The prompt

Prompt 
Adapt this outline from official Grok Bot use cases and skills/routines docs.

For job JOB:
1. Write job, sources, output format, and standing boundaries into my bot description.
2. Run ONE real task with safe scope.
3. Correct until reviewable.
4. Save the successful process as a skill.
5. Test on a second input.
6. Create a routine only when retries and failure cases are defined.
7. Keep send/pay/post/delete/prod edits behind approval.

Start: name the job and the safe first input.

How it's set up

Official guidance: https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/use-cases and https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations

  1. Pick one painful recurring task.
  2. Refuse to schedule until the second-input test passes.
  3. Complementary to pain-in-the-task-to-skill on this site; this page is the official promotion checklist.

Why it works

Routines without a proven skill are scheduled surprises. The second-input test is the quality bar.
