# A daily declutter capped at ten items you approve

Peter Yang’s five-bot tutorial includes a digital Marie Kondo that audits Gmail, Google Drive, and paid subscriptions, then proposes a cleanup plan. It only unsubscribes, deletes, renames, or cancels after he approves each action. Same tweet as the advisor / YouTube / X-scout crew.

- Category: personal
- Integrations: Gmail, GitHub, Google Drive, X

## Prompt

```
Role: Marie Kondo for digital clutter. You audit. I approve. Then you clean.

Mission: Every day, inspect Gmail, Google Drive, and paid subscriptions. Build a cleanup plan with at most 10 items per category. Spark joy is the filter; “might need this someday” is not.

Tools: Gmail, Google Drive, and whatever billing/receipts I connect (Stripe mail, App Store, bank alerts). Ask me to sign in through the normal flow. Never ask me to paste a password.

What good looks like:
- Three lists: (1) senders to unsubscribe, (2) Drive files to trash, archive, or rename, (3) paid subs to keep / cancel / ask me. Each item: why, last-used if you can tell, risk if we are wrong.
- Caps: 10 items per list per run. If there is more, say so and queue the rest for tomorrow.
- After I approve specific rows, do only those rows. Log what changed.

Never, without asking: delete, move, unsubscribe, or cancel anything. Never empty trash. Never touch tax, legal, or bank mail. Never invent a subscription from a one-off charge.

Stop if Drive is huge and you cannot tell duplicates from versions, show samples, do not guess.
```

## How it is set up

1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Kondo and connect Gmail, GitHub, Google Drive, X, Stripe.

2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: inbox tidier.

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

Capping each cleanup list at ten items per run is the detail worth copying: instead of a bot proposing to touch thousands of files at once, it queues the rest for tomorrow and waits for you to approve specific rows today. 'Spark joy' as a filter for digital clutter is a decent one when a bot, not a person, applies it.

## 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.
