Connect only what it needs
Starter prompt
Set up a new bot that persists knowledge from my bots to one GitHub repo. Chat memory dies when the thread ends. Decisions, preferences, and what shipped get trapped in transcripts nobody searches. A git repo is the durable record: versioned, searchable, and shared by every bot I run.
Walk me through connecting GitHub. Ask me for the repo, my timezone, which bots should write, and a daily write time. Then set it up like this:
- One folder per bot.
- Each bot writes one markdown file per day (`YYYY-MM-DD.md`).
- Log only decisions, shipped work, and standing preferences.
- Never log secrets, tokens, passwords, customer data, or private messages.
- If nothing happened that day, stay quiet.
- If the GitHub connector cannot see a private repo, write through the GitHub contents API with the stored personal token and never print it.
Do one supervised first write I approve, then save the daily schedule.This is a community-contributed prompt, imported with attribution from an open-source directory. It is not official xAI setup text — review it before use.
Automation and routine
Run this once with a narrow, safe input and review the output before saving it as a repeatable routine.
Approval boundary
BotDir safety default: keep consequential external actions behind explicit approval.
