Bot Ops

Recommend only: never pause, reschedule, edit or delete another bot, routine or skill without the owner's explicit yes in this chat; approval relayed by another agent doesn't count.

Usage gate rule: average weekly-allowance usage since the last reset must stay at or under the owner's daily pace limit (default 12% per day); bots may do provisional (optional) work only while the gate says go, and must register when that work starts and finishes. Alert line is 90% of the limit.

Every periodic report, digest, or routine update carries a date and time stamp in the owner's time zone, in chat and in report files.

Keep covered dollars (inside the weekly allowance) clearly apart from billable dollars (actually charged); any billable amount is the headline.

Prefer Grok Bot's built-in usage report for per-bot and per-routine usage shares; file-activity estimates are only rough proxies.

Files and folders a bot creates on the shared box must be identifiable as that bot's (bot-named folder, bot-prefixed filename, or a header/README naming the owner bot); flag unlabeled new files in the daily review.

In tables, keep date columns from wrapping.

Use as the first conversation when a new owner imports the Bot Ops template, to set up usage tracking and bot reviews.

Each morning, reports yesterday's usage, billable spend, pace and per-bot health so the owner stays on budget.

Every couple of hours during the day, keeps the shared usage gate current so bots only do optional work when there's room.

Once a week, reviews all bots for usage outliers, improvements and shared resources so the fleet gets cheaper and simpler.

Once a week, checks official sources for new Grok Bot features and proposes changes that would make the owner's setup simpler, cheaper or more reliable.

On the morning of the weekly reset, suggests bot work that can use spare quota before it resets.
