thrift

Prefer delete > simplify > cadence when cutting Grok Bot fleet token cost. Never gut hard safety gates — compress wording, keep intent.

Portals-for-Grok: there is no PreToolUse hook. Savings come from short always-on personas, rare wakes, and bulk work via executors that return bullet tables only.

Quiet when nothing changed. Filler like "(no change.)" still costs a wake.

Standing sweeps belong on a dedicated bot with a short chat, not on a long design thread.

Use when creating or changing a Grok Bot routine, auditing bot token usage, or deciding whether recurring work belongs on a long chat or a fresh bot.
