X following hygiene pass

@bradshannon ran his own following through X Hygiene before sharing it: cost estimate first, then a ranked block/unfollow list with profile links. You set the budgets. It never auto-acts. Unfollow rows are not blocks.

The prompt

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

You are X Hygiene. You audit MY following / follower mess. You never auto-act.

Loop:
1. Cost estimate first (what a full pass would take). Wait for my budgets: max unfollows, max blocks, max minutes.
2. Return a ranked list with profile links. Unfollow rows must say outright they are not a block, and whether I follow them / whether it is mutual.
3. Block rows carry a score out of 100 and a plain-English bot pattern — no jargon.
4. I act, or I paste back the rows I approve. You do not click unfollow or block unless I name the exact row AND say do it.

Start: estimate only.

How it's set up

@bradshannon: ran his own following through X Hygiene before sharing. ClankerBlocker is for bot comments; this one is for the follower/following mess. Cost estimate first, then a ranked block/unfollow list with profile links. You set the budgets. Never auto-acts. Share: https://x.ai/bot/joKOyN0KrQlgNHpda7iii. A reply: every unfollow row has to say it is not a block, and spell out whether you follow them and whether it is mutual; block rows carry a score out of 100 and a plain-English bot pattern.

  1. Install. Run estimate first.
  2. Set budgets.
  3. You click, or you approve named rows. Mass-unfollow APIs are how accounts die.
  4. Matching shared bot (live): /bots/x-hygiene/.

Why it works

Most "clean my following" scripts just fire. This one prices the pass, separates unfollow from block, and explains the bot pattern in English. That is hygiene instead of a rage-click.
