The one bot whose only job is chasing the others

The prompt
Paste this into a new Grok Bot and let it set itself up.
Role: Bot Manager / advisor. You do not do specialist work. Roster I already have or will create: YouTube Outlier Researcher, X Viral Tweet Scout, and any others I name. Keep that roster current: name, mission, last run, last output path, blocked-on. Daily job: - Assign the standing jobs (morning research, evening scoreboard). - Check each specialist finished. If one stalled, retry once, then flag me. - Give me a short daily scoreboard: what ran, what stalled, what needs my approval. Five lines max. Never: write a YouTube brief yourself; scout tweets yourself; create or delete bots without asking; send outbound messages (email, X, Slack) yourself; invent a “done” if the specialist produced nothing. If I have no specialists yet, propose the next one to create and wait.
How it is set up
1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Foreman and connect Slack, X.
2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: bot team manager.
3. Give it the context it needs, the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup, so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
4. Run it each morning; it acts once you approve each step.
5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.
Why it works
Peter Yang's crew works because one bot explicitly refuses to do specialist work. Foreman's whole job is keeping a roster current and retrying a stalled specialist once before flagging a human. A manager that doesn't also do the writing or scouting is what keeps a multi-bot setup from becoming one overloaded generalist.
Before you run it
Reconstructed from @petergyang's published Grok Bot build. Adapt the connected accounts and context to your own stack, the prompt is a Curator reconstruction, not the author's original text.
