Writing better bot instructions
Skip calculator jargon. Use a short pattern: result, sources, what the Bot must ask before doing, timing, and one example. Be specific. Say what to ignore.
The pattern
- Result — what “done” looks like
- Sources — where it may look
- What to ask first — sends, spends, deletes, public posts
- Timing — once, daily, weekly
- Example — one good sample output
Keep sends, spends, and deletes behind approval. Want before/after examples? See the tighter instruction examples board — that page stays as a comparison tool.
